WORD PROCESSING

Word processing is the art of creating, saving, editing, formatting and printing documents using electronic
word processors.

Examples of word processors include;

Microsoft word Corel word perfect
Apples pages Open [Link] writer
Lotus word pro

NB. What are text editors

These are simple word processors that are generally used to type text without any special
formatting. They are mainly used to create small text, memos.

EXAMPLES OF TEXT EDITORS INCLUDE

Note pad, Note pad++, etc

Functions of a word processor

 They are used for writing letters, memos, Reports, projects, Resumes, Memos

Basic word processing terminologies

1. Font face. This refers to the shape of the characters. Common examples of font face include;
Tahoma, Times New Romans, Arial.
2. Font. This refers to the style of the face
3. Line spacing. This refers to the amount of vertical spaces white space between two line of text.
Line spacing is measured in points (pt).
4. Text Alignment. This refers to how lines of text are arranged relative to the edges of a block of
text.

Note there are four types of text alignment

a. Justified: The process of aligning text both to the left and right at the same time.
b. Left: This where text aligned to the left
c. Right: This where text is aligned to the right
d. Center: This where text is aligned to the centre

 5. An indent: This refers to the amount of white space left between the margin and the beginning
of text
6. Formatting text: This refers to changing the appearance of the text in a document to look more
appealing or attractive to the user or reader.
7. Editing a text: This the processing of making changes in the content in the existing document.
This involves commands like Cut, paste, overtype, insert, delete etc.
NB. A learner should be able to define the following terms as well.
a. Copy: To place a selected text to a clip board without removing it from its current location.
b. Cut: To remove a selected item from its current location and place it in the clipboard.
c. Copy and Paste duplicates the text while Cut and paste moves text to a new location.
d. Special Paste: This feature avoids pasting text all its formats.
This provides a user control over what to paste.
e. Header: This refers to the text that appears in the top margin of all pages in a document
f. Footer: This the text that appears at the bottom margin of all pages in a document
g. Proof Reading: This a process of reviewing a document to ensure accuracy of its content.

Advantages of electronic word processors as compared to manual type writers

 Word processors, one can save a document for future use, while manual type writer, a user
has to retype a full document
 Type writers prints one character at a time while word processors print many pages at the
same time
 Word processors can easily format a document which is not the case with type writers
 It’s easier to insert graphics in a word processors than type writers
 Its very easy to type a document without pressing enter (word wrap) in processing than
when using a type writer
 Text alignment is easier while using word processors than using type writers

Disadvantages of electronic word processors

 Electronic word processors cannot be used without power
 Electronic word processors are expensive due to the cost of buying computers
 They have led to unemployment of typists and secretaries since one person using an
electronic word processor can do a lot of work

CHOOSING WORD PROCESSING SOFTWARE

Word processing is using the computer to enter, store, manipulate, and print text in letters, reports,
books and so on. Once you have used word processing, you will probably wonder (like a million
others before you) how in the world you ever survived without it.

As more word processing packages come on the market, choosing the right software can become very
confusing.
Nevertheless, there is probably a word processing package that will serve your needs. As you begin
looking, ask yourself these questions:

I What types of documents am I

now producing?
planning to produce?
II what types of features do I
need?
want?

Document types can range from simple letters and memos to proposals, reports,
legal documents, books, newsletters, scientific papers, from letters, and so on. The point
is, match the features you need with the features in the software package. For example, if
you write articles that require references, you will need the footnoting feature; if you
develop a newsletter, having the multicolumn layout feature would be handy; if scientific
notation is needed, you will want superscripts (X2+Y2) and subscripts (A21); and if you
send “personalized” from letters the mail-merge feature is a necessity.

A number of add-on programs are available to enhance the functionality of word

processing packages. These include:
On-line thesaurus
Spelling checker
Grammar checker
Style checker
Idea processor (outliner)
What you can do with word processing is limited only by your imagination and
willingness to learn the system. Good luck in your Computer-assisted writing
adventures-now and in the future!

on the right hand corner. (02 marks)

(ii) Bold the heading front size 22-point, underline and centre it.

TUBERCLOSIS (TB) IN AIDS

The global war on AIDS could be lost if the world ignores tuberculosis, often a death sentence for
people infected with HIV, former South African president Nelson Mandela warned at a global AIDS
conference recently held in Bangkok. “The world has made defeating AIDS its top priority. This is a
blessing, but TB remains ignored”, said Mandela. He steered clear the controversy to focus on the
plight of millions suffering from HIV and TB.

About 14 million people are infected with HIV and T.B, 70% living in Sub-Sahara Africa, the region
hardest hit by HIV/AIDS, which has killed 20 million people worldwide. HIV, the virus which causes
AIDS, destroys the immune system and makes patients more vulnerable to diseases such as TB, an
infectious illness that accounts for up to one-third of all HIV/AIDS deaths.

“We cannot win the battle against AIDS if we do not also fight TB. TB is too often a death sentence
for people with AIDS. It does not have to be this way”, Mandela said. He said resources for detecting
and treating TB were woefully short despite the world having had a cure fot it moer than 50 years ago.

8. When common sense is not common

Something really odd occurred to me the other day. Picture this, a steadily growing family, say a man
with two wives and nine children. The second wife is expecting her fourth born and the family is
heavily indebted. The only earning adult in the home brings home about Shs 2m in a month but total
expenditure is close to Shs 4.8m please don’t ask me where he gets the balance from. Their rented
family house is in the rich neighbourhood of Naguru and the man owns two cars both financed by
bank loans from two different from two different banks. Somehow the family gets by and not all the
members are aware of how dire the situation is
What is most surprising however is the first wife has demanded that her husband throws their two year
old son a birthday bash. The party promise to bring together several friends and relatives many of
whom is very high calibre and so the man has to come up with ways to finance this event with some
“celebrity” musician invited to entertain the guests, never mind that the two year old is not fully
aware it is his birthday. There will be a lot of foot and drinking and the disco promises to play late
into the night.
Well, there is the country that I know. Actually I’m a citizen in it too and as a responsible voter who
painfully pays my taxes every single month of the year, I’m quite upset by the look of things. I think
it’s quite irresponsible if I keep quite or merely grumble but fail to mention this bad state of affairs to
you. And why am I upset?
Despite our poor state of affairs, seeing that we are a heavily indebted country, we can still afford to
do among other things throw a big bash to mark the swearing in of our president of 25 years. Whereas
it’s debated if there is anything to celebrate what appals meas the nerve to party and celebrate while
we surely worsen our already bad situation by spending money we don’t even have. Someone once
made an interesting remark, that many times common sense is actually not common.

as a cheap source of energy for the poor. But the charcoal prices have doubled within less
than a year.
“The country is already neck – deep in the firewood crises”, says Ditch. “Now,
people are paying for not taking action”.
However, Ditch says the energy crisis is localized meaning that some areas have been hit by
the scarcity, while others have in abundance.
To cope with the crises, some people especially low income earners now buy cooked food
from the evening roadside markets.

Win for sanity

Gary Neville believes the appointment of David Moyes as Sir Alex Ferguson’s managerial successor
at Manchester United is a “result for sanity in football”.
The Everton manager will take over at the end of this season after the Reds boss announced his shock
retirement on Wednesday, bringing down the curtain on a glorious 26-year reign that saw 38 major
honors head to Old Trafford during an unprecedented era of dominance.
“I’d welcome the appointment and it makes sense,” Gary said. “You can read David Gill’s comments
about wanting somebody who respects the history and traditions of the club, somebody who is there
for the long-term, to know this is not a club that goes for quick fixes. It hasn’t worked that way
through history.
“Sir Matt Busby was given time throughout term fix," he continued. ”Manchester United

“The fans and club will support you. This is not a stupid football club. This is not one of those crazy

PRESENTATION
PRESENTATION SOFTWARE
This allows users to create a visual aid presentation, it enables you to create, organize and design
effective presentation.
It can also be defined as a way of delivering the information to the audience in a manner that
connivances them or changes their understanding or attitude.
Examples of presentation softwares,
i. Microsoft PowerPoint,
ii. Flash MX.
iii. Sun star Office impress iv). Corel presentation.

The 10 Most Common PowerPoint Terms

Common PowerPoint Terms - PowerPoint Terminology Quick List
1. Slide - Slide Show

Each page of a PowerPoint presentation is called a slide. The default orientation of the slide is in
landscape layout, which means that the slide is 11" wide by 8 1/2" tall. Text, graphics and/or pictures
are added to the slide to enhance its appeal.

2. Bullet or Bulleted List Slide

Bullets are small dots, squares, dashes or graphic objects that begin a short descriptive phrase.
The Bulleted List slide is used to enter key points or statements about your topic. When creating the
list, hitting the Enter key on the keyboard adds a new bullet for the next point you want to add.

3. Design Template

ICT PRACTICAL STUDENT’S WORK Page 82

Think of design templates as a coordinated packaged deal. When you decorate a room, you use colors
and patterns that all work together. A design template acts in much the same way. It is created so that
even though different slide types can have different layouts and graphics, the whole presentation goes
together as an attractive package.

4. Slide Layouts - Slide Types

The terms slide type or slide layout can be used interchangeably. There are several different types of
slides / slide layouts in PowerPoint. Depending on the type of presentation you are creating you may
use several different slide layouts or just keep repeating the same few.

5. Slide Views
 Normal View - is also commonly known as Slide View. It is the main working window in the
presentation. The slide is shown full size on the screen.
 Outline View - shows all the text of all slides, in a list on the left of the PowerPoint screen. No
graphics are shown in this view. Outline View is useful for editing purposes and can be
exported out as a Word document to use as a summary handout.
 Slide Sorter View - is a window in PowerPoint that displays thumbnail versions of all your
slides, arranged in horizontal rows. This view is useful to make global changes to several slides
at one time. Rearranging or deleting slides is easy to do in Slide Sorter view.
 Notes View - shows a smaller version of a slide with an area underneath for notes. Each slide is
created on its own notes page. The speaker can print these pages out to use as a reference while
making his presentation. The notes do not show on the screen during the presentation.

6. Task Pane: Located on the right side of the screen, the Task Pane changes to show options that are
available for the current task that you are working on. For example, when choosing a new slide, the
Slide Layout task pane appears; when choosing a design template, the Slide Design task pane appears,
and so on.

7. Transition
Slide transitions are the visual movements as one slide changes to another.

8. Animations and Animation Schemes

In Microsoft PowerPoint, animations are visual effects applied to individual items on the slide such as
graphics, titles or bullet points, rather than to the slide itself.
Preset visual effects can be applied to paragraphs, bulleted items and titles from a variety of animation

groupings, namely Subtle, Moderate and Exciting. Using an animation scheme (PowerPoint 2003
only) keeps your project consistent in the look, and is a quick way to enhance your presentation.

9. PowerPoint Viewer
The PowerPoint Viewer is a small add-in program from Microsoft. It allows for a PowerPoint
presentation to be played on any computer, even those that do not have PowerPoint installed. It can run

ICT PRACTICAL STUDENT’S WORK Page 83

as a separate program on your computer and can be added to the list of files when you choose to
package your presentation to a CD.

10. Slide Master

The default design template when starting a PowerPoint presentation, is a plain, white slide. This plain,
white slide is the Slide Master. All slides in a presentation are created using the fonts, colors and
graphics in the Slide Master, with the exception of the Title slide (which uses the Title Master). Each
new slide that you create takes on these aspects.

QUALITIES OF A GOOD / PROFFESSIONAL PRESENTATION

 Appropriate Timing
 Appropriate Number of slides or themes to talk about
 Minimal Animation effects
 Minimal Transition effects and links
 Appropriate Background/font colours
 Capitalization and character utilization/appropriate case variation
 Most appropriate layout and space utilization
 Speaker notes
 Audio/visual tools
 Presentation software to use
 Content to deliver
 Design template to use
 Nature/composition of the audience
 Appropriate presentation media
 Appropriate Sound effects
 Appropriate/relevant animation and graphical images

INTRODUCTION TO DATABASE.

WHAT IS DATABASE?
A structured collection of logically related data that is stored so that it can easily be accessed.
Logically related data comprises entities, attributes, and relationships of an organization's
information.
In normal daily life we make frequent use databases, and probably don't realize it. Here are a
number of simple examples.
 Filing Cabinet Personal address book
 The telephone Directory Customer Lists
 Membership Lists Purchases from the supermarket
 Purchases using your credit card Booking a holiday at the travel agents
 Using the local library Renting a video
 Using the internet (Client- server architecture involved).
CHARACTERISTICS OF A DATA BASE
- It is centralized and integrated i.e. there is easy sharing of data
- It has backup and recovery services.
- It has referential integrity constrains
-It provides security through restricting unauthorized users

COMPONENTS OF DBMS ENVIRONMENT.

ICT PRACTICAL STUDENT’S WORK Page

1. Hardware: Can range from a PC to a network of computers.
2. Software: DBMS, operating system, network software (if necessary) and also the
DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (DBMS)
- It is used for managing data stored in a database
- is a software that enables users to define, create, maintain, control and access to a database.

Examples of Database management software (Programs).

The following are some of the examples of Database Programs:
Microsoft Access Oracle
dBase FoxPro
Paradox FoxBase
File Maker Pro Lotus Approach

FUNCTIONS OF A DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

- It provides security to data in the database
-It provides easy access to data
-Allows easy modification of data
-It provides automatic update of data
-Offers data independence i.e. independent from other programs or application
- Eases data storage, retrieval and update
- provides integrity services
Advantages of data base management system.
- Minimal data redundancy:
- Provides security:
- Provides persistency storage:
- Provides backup and recovery services
-
DBAs.
What is the difference between DBMS and DBAs?
A Database Management System (DBMS) is a software system that enables users to define,
create, maintain, and control access to a database. E.g Microsoft Access.
While
A Database Application (DBA) Program is a computer program that interacts with the
database by issuing an appropriate requests to the DBMS.

A set of computer programs that provides a formal user interface to a database while managing
the internal database structures on behalf of the users.
TYPES OF DATABASES
1. Flat file data base
This is a type of database that contains one table.
2. Relational database
This is a type of data base that contains more than one table with shared columns.

Differences between a flat file data base and relational databases

Flat file data base Relational data base
Contains only a single table Contains many tables
There is data dependency No data dependency
May contain duplicate data There is minimal data duplicates
There is data separation and isolation i.e No data separation and isolation
Each program manages its own data

limitations of flat file database

1. Separation or isolation of data
2. Duplication of data
[Link] file formats
4. Changes in an existing file structure are difficult to make due to program data dependency

Categories of Computer Devices

Computer devices are sub divided into four categories as follows:

i. Input devices
ii. Processing device
iii. Storage devices

iv. Output devices

Input devices: - These are any hardware components used to enter data and instructions into a computer system.
E.g. keyboard.

Output devices: - These are any hardware components used to display or convey information or data to a user.
E.g. monitor.

Processing device: - This is used to manipulate data into information. Processing is usually done in a Central
Processing Unit (CPU).

Storage devices: - These are used to record and retrieve data to and from a storage medium in the computer
system. They can be either internal like the HDD, or external like a CD. Storage devices have got their
specialised drives through which data can be written or read. For example, data on a CD can be read with the
help of a CD or DVD drive.

Conclusion:

Whereas the above devices are standard input-output devices, some other devices are referred to as computer
peripherals. Computer peripherals are any electronic devices that are outside of the basic collection of the

ICT PRACTICAL STUDENT’S WORK Page

computer system. Examples of peripheral devices include speakers, microphones, printers, scanners, digital
cameras, etc.
