Computer :
A computer is a tool for storing, organizing, and communicating information.
While different computers often have similar parts to input, store, and display information, there can also be differences between models and devices (between laptops and desktops, for example).

System Unit—Contains the computer's central processing unit (CPU), the computer's "brain." Performs processes, runs programs, and stores information. The hard drive contains all the computer's programs, memory, and space for users to add content.*

In addition to hardware, computers have software, programs and operating systems that tell the hardware what to do

Formatting Text

Suppose you want to place your job title in your signature in italics and the title of your company in bold.

Select (highlight) the section you want to format.
Click the right mouse (or touch pad) button to display the formatting, or "Mini toolbar" menu, and select "B" for "bold."
Now select the title of the company, display the toolbar and select "I" for "italics."
From here, you can also change the text font or size, add bullets, underline, and

Adding Hyperlinks

Suppose you want to add your company's website to your email signature, the place where you have your name and contact information.

Move your cursor to where you want the hyperlink to appear.
Type the name of the site. Be sure to include the "www." and the ".com."
Hit the "Enter" key. Word automatically formats the site as a hyperlink, indicated by the blue underlined text. (To remove a hyperlink, just right click your mouse and select "Remove hyperlink" from the Mini menu.)

Adding Images

Suppose you want to add your company's logo, as well.

Move your cursor to where you want the image to appear.
From the Insert menu on the ribbon on top of the page, click "Pictures."
Find and click the image on your computer and select "Insert." Reposition or resize the image by selecting and dragging, as needed.

Cut and Paste

Suppose you want to move the second paragraph before the first.

Select (highlight) the section you want to move.
Click the right mouse (or touch pad) button to display the menu and select "Cut" (or press the Ctrl key and X). Your selection disappears but is stored electronically in a temporary Clipboard.
Place your cursor at the location where you want to move the information.
Right click again and select "Paste." (or Ctrl key and V).

Copy and Paste

Process is similar to cut and paste. Use it when you want a block of text to appear in more than one place. Just select "Copy" (or Ctrl key and C).

Find and Replace

Find and Replace tools are real time savers.

Click on Find in the toolbar
The software looks through your document for the word(s) that you enter in the "Find what" field.
Use Replace to find a word in your document and change it to something else.
You can change every occurrence of the word(s) by selecting "Replace All" or only the ones you select to change or just one by selecting "Replace."

Spell Checker

One of the most widely used editing tools is the spell checker. The spell checker checks the spelling of each word against the program's internal dictionary. When it finds a word that's not in the dictionary, it flags it for review.

You can then choose to:

Replace it by correcting it yourself
Replace it with a suggested word that you select from a displayed list
Ignore the word if it's spelled correctly
Add the word to the dictionary. Some names or technical terms may not be in the software's dictionary.

Remember: Spell checker won't check the usage of the word, so it's up to you to make sure you use the exact words you want!

In addition to editing and formatting, it’s critical to make sure that you know how to save and retrieve documents. The way that you save a document and the format that you save it in depends on how you plan to use or share the document. Most of the time, you’ll use simple “Save” or “Save As” commands to store your work.

Saving a File in Word

Click the File tab and click Save. (Alternatively, you may be able to click the Save icon, which looks like a floppy disk, in the Quick Access toolbar.) This saves the file in the current version of Word you are working in and in the file's current location.

Note: If this is the first time you're saving the document, you'll be asked where to place the file.

Or

Click the File tab and click Save As
Click Computer to save this file to your computer.
Browse to a folder where you want to save your document or save the document to your desktop and move it to a folder at a later time.
To create a new folder, right click and select New and Folder.
In the File name: box, type the File Name. Type the file name

When you think of the Internet, what you’re probably thinking of is the World Wide Web, often called the Web or WWW. Access to the Web is offered by an ISP (Internet Service Provider) such as Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, and Cox. To open a website, you need to use a Web browser. A browser is a software program that acts as a go-between between the user (you) and the Web
