Preface This module introduces the Connexions online textbook/collection "Word Processing Essentials" by Kenneth Leroy Busbee.
About this Collection
Word Processing Essentials
Word Processing Essentials is a collection of modules to teach or refresh skills for Microsoft Word. The intended audience is anyone needing to create a simple term or research paper for a high school or college course.
The collection was designed by Kenneth Leroy Busbee; however the modules in the collection were authored by students enrolled in a BCIS1405 — Business Computer Applications course at the Community College of Qatar (CCQ) during the Fall 2010 term.
Collection Contents
The collection has a preface module followed by five sections with topics ordered in a sequence that follows the production of a term/research paper. The sections are:
e Preliminaries ¢ Typing
e Improving
e Printing
e Appendix
Professional Encouragement
This project provided the students with the following supplemental experiences which all college graduates should encounter:
1. Student Service Learning — Many of the students at CCQ will start their college education in a phase of English as a Second Language (ESL). As students progress, they will have writing assignments that include a simple research papers. Faculty teaching ESL courses need appropriate materials to help students use word processing application software to complete their assignments. The need being established, having more mature students serve other students by preparing educational materials is an excellent service project.
2. Team Work — All college graduates will work in many teams during their professional careers. Creating this collection as a team, helped students see the importance that collaborative efforts play in their futures.
3. Open Educational Resources (OER) — Electronic communication, specifically the internet, means we live in an ever shrinking world. Part of that world is freely sharing their efforts with others. Exposing students to one of the world’s leading OER repositories, Connexions, enhances their understanding of this important part of education, research and publishing.
4. Writing Across the Curriculum — The concept is dated, but still important. Using their English writing skills, students now see the importance of clear written communication. Their efforts are not being graded by an English teacher, but by all who will read their published materials.
College professors and others considering a group project involving the creation of OER materials are encouraged you to become a Connexions author of at least a dozen modules and one collection. Consider the following links:

Undo Command When and how to use the "undo" command when using word processing.
The undo command is used to quickly undo any recent key strokes. It is used when mistakes occur and the user wishes to undo it. For example when a user was typing some text then suddenly it disappears through pressing the wrong key, the easiest way to retrieve the data is through the undo command. The undo command is located next to the save button.

Paragraph Concept
An explanation of how to type paragraphs properly within word processing documents. An explanation of how tabs and returns are treated; including the use of the show/hide feature.
Word Wrap
Word wrap is the feature of breaking lines between and not within words, except when a single word is longer than a line. So, when your line is full of text, the word processor automatically jumps to the next line. Sometime, the text may wrap in an unwanted location. To make the reading easier, you need to proofread word wrapping location and insert special characters. Two things to be concerned with are how to control word wrapping with nonbreaking hyphens and nonbreaking spaces?
e Insert Nonbreaking Hyphens
If there is a word with hyphen at the end of a line, the first word and the hyphen may appear on the first line, and the second word will be in the next line. So, to keep word with hyphen together, replace the regular hyphen with a nonbreaking hyphen. A nonbreaking hyphen prevents the word with hyphen from becoming separated at the hyphen. To insert a nonbreaking hyphen, press Ctrl+Shift+Hyphen.
e Insert Nonbreaking Spaces
Sometimes text willwrap to the next line if a word does not fit at the end of the line, so some words should be kept together for improved readability. To prevent words from separating due to the word-wrap feature, you can insert a nonbreaking space. To insert a nonbreaking space, press Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar between the two words that you want to keep together.

Show/Hide spaces, return, and tabs
I cannot tell you how helpful using this feature can be. If you get used to working in Word with this feature turned ON, you'll keep yourself out of so much trouble! As you type text, Word inserts nonprinting marks or symbols. To see these symbols click the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click Show/Hide button that look like a reversed “p”. When you click it you will see the different characters that show you there are spaces, returns, and tabs on your text.

Insert versus Overtype An explanation of how these two modes of entry effect what you see when typing. How to toggle between the two modes.
Insert
Insert means that you add text to the current text without replacing any single letter. For example, the original sentence is “John is a good person”;
if you insert “very” between “a” and “good”, the sentence will be “John is a very good person”.
To insert a text: Step 1 - Move the insertion point to the place you want to insert the text.
Step 2 - Type the text you want.
Overtype
Overtype means that you replace the current text with another text using the ‘Insert’ button on the keyboard. For example, the original sentence is “John is a very good person” and you want to replace “good” with “nice”. If you put the insertion point before “good” and type “nice”, the sentence will be “John is a very nice person” not “John is a very nice good person”.
To overtype a text:
Step 1 - Be sure to activate the ‘Overtype option’. To do that , follow the instructions:
(1) Click the Office

Step 2 - To overtype the text, move the insertion point to the place you want to replace the text (before the text); click the insert button (toggles from
insert mode to overtype mode).
6- Click ‘Insert’.
Step 3 - Type the new text that will overtype the existing text. Hit the insert key to toggle off the overtype and return to the insert mode.
Auto Correct and Auto Text An explanation of how these two featured effect what happens when typing.
AutoCorrect
Many people make mistakes while they are typing in the word. You will notice while you are typing your misspelled words will automatically be corrected. Here are the steps to turn on the AutoCorrect.
1. Click on start button as shown, and then press word option.
2. Choose Proofing.
3. When you click on proofing click on AutoCorrect option.
4. At the last step here you can replace the incorrect word with the correct one you choose.
AutoText
Auto text is one way to complete your unfinished words in the word document, while are you typing specially dates, time, and years you will notice that there is something popping to you like in the picture below as shown to you. You can confirm that just by pressing ENTER.

Spelling and Grammar Checker Simple instructions for using the spelling and grammar checking features of word processing.
Spelling and Grammar Checker
Many students, especially ESL students, hope to write an academic essay, paper, or any academic writing that is free of spelling or grammar mistakes. Sometimes when we revise our work, we might miss or cannot recognize some of those mistakes, and for that reason, Microsoft Office Word has provided the world an awesome feature called Spelling and Grammar Checker. Spelling and Grammar Checker helps you avoid many common spelling and grammar errors in your word documents, and at the same time you may correct some of them.
Types of Errors
There are three different wavy underline colors that have three different meanings: green, red, and blue; the green wavy underline indicates grammatical error(s), the red wavy underline refers to spelling error(s), and the blue wavy underline refers to contextual error(s).
Every one is driving a car. |
Auto Corrections
Microsoft Office Word has a feature that corrects some spelling errors automatically; for example, if you type "teh" instead of "the", the word "teh" will be adjusted automatically to "the". However, the application cannot correct or find all grammar mistakes, so you have to review your document thoroughly before printing the final draft, and make sure that your document does not have any spelling, grammatical, or contextual elrors.
There are many methods to identify misspelled words or questionable grammar in your document: you may print your document and give it to someone else to correct it using a marker, or you may read your document aloud that helps you find some mistakes.
Using Spelling and Grammar Checker
To start Spelling and Grammar Checker, do the following steps:

In particular, if a part of your document is in the area in which the printer cannot actually print, the Print Layout view may show your text anyway, but Print Preview probably will not.
Students must print preview their documents before printing to make sure that the document looks perfect and to avoid wasting papers.
To start Print Preview, do the following steps.
