6-1



What is the purpose of the insertion point in a word processing program?



It shows where you typed the last word you did.

   How do you use a mouse to scroll through a document? How do you use the key board?

Press the up and down buttons on the keyboard or press Page up Page Down, or use the mouse by dragging the bar on the right side of the screen and by using the scroll wheel.

  Of the three standards of word-processing style, which do you think puts more demands on the person using the program? Why?

The Non automatic standard. You have to remember this: type one space, not two.

   6-2 Give two examples of the file name extensions that could be opened as a document by a word processor in Windows. Why could the program open them?

.doc or .wpd. They are opened because you used an Open command.

  In a word processing document, what are the three actions you can perform on selected text?

Delete it, move it, copy it.

   6-3 What is a default format?

A program that applies these formats automatically, unless you change them.

  Why do you think you should save your work after making formatting changes?

If you don’t save your work, you have to do it all over again.

  Which kinds of documents would you print in portrait orientation, and which kinds would you print in landscape orientation?

In portrait, text is printed down the page’s long edge creating a page that is taller than it is wide. In landscape text is printed down the page’s short edge, creating a page that it is wider than it is tall.

    Chapter Review and Assessment Insertion point: shows the place in a document where text will be added or deleted Word wrap: automatically moves text to anew line Pagination: the automatic division of a document into pages

   AutoCorrect: fixes common spelling mistakes as they are typed Select text: action made on a block of text before changing it Clipboard: area where cut or copied text is temporarily stored

   Default: preset formats Section: a separate part of a document with its own formatting Page format: features that identify how and where text is positioned

   The four functions of worked processing are writing, editing, formatting and printing.

The auto save feature protects you from losing work because you forgot to save.

One standard of word processing is to have only one space after each sentence.

   Some programs add extra characters, called an extension, to a file name.

The redo command lets you restore a change that you have just undone.

You can repeat a sentence in more than one location in the same document – or in other documents – by using the Cut and Paste commands.

   Collections of formats called a style make sure that all elements of the same type have the same look.

One point equals 1/72 inch.

Indentation refers to the added space between a margin and text in a paragraph.

 An example of a footer is a page number that appears at the bottom of every page in a report.

  Why would you want to force a new page after creating the title page of a 20-page report?

So you can start your actual essay.

  Why is selecting text an important function in a word processing?

It is important because you can delete, move and highlight stuff to make things easier.

  Why are there both mouse and keyboard methods for performing actions such as selecting, cutting, copying and pasting?

Because you can rely on both to do the selecting, cutting, copying and pasting.

  What is the difference between landscape and portrait orientation?

In landscape orientation, the text is shorter and wider than it is tall. In portrait, it is the opposite.

  Why might a student type his or her name and the class period in the header of a homework assignment?

If your essay is lost a student who finds it can give it back at the right time.
