Lesson 2 – File Management Learning Intentions By the end of the lesson you will: • be able to create folders • load a file from the shared drive and save it into your own folder • be able to create a new MS Word document and save it to the appropriate folder

with an appropriate filename File management is the way in which computer data is stored and organised. It is very important to keep all your files and folders properly organised. If work is not named properly in files and folders it can be easily mislaid or lost. Whenever data is saved, it is saved in a file. Every file must be given an appropriate name so that it can be identified and, if necessary, retrieved at a later date. To enable files to be found easily you should create a folder (a folder is sometimes called a directory) for each subject you study. You may also require sub-‐folders for each topic you study in a subject. For example, how you might organise your own ICT folder is shown to the right. An effective file management system allows: • all documents/files etc to be stored in an organised and consistent way • information to be retrieved from documents/files quickly and efficiently Poor file management will ‘slow up’ your work and waste time!

Lesson 3 – Word Processing: Editing Learning Intentions By the end of the lesson you will be able to: • change margins • edit/amend documents • spell check documents • insert footers • print A word processing package is an example of a general purpose package. A word processing package is used to produce letters, reports, essays, projects, memos, notices, etc – any form of written work.

The advantages of using a word processing package are that the documents can be stored on a USB and can be retrieved when required. Text can be changed (edited) on screen and printed (hard copy) again if mistakes are made. Being able to recall documents and

edit them saves lots of time. Also being able to store reports, letters etc on disc saves lots of valuable space. Time is also saved from correcting and repeating work by the use of such facilities as the spellchecker. The word processing package also has many features which can be used to format the document.


Homework 3 – Word Processing: Editing Due Date: ______________________________________________________ Here are some words you have heard in your word processing lesson. amended inputting margins spelling edited inserted printer footer deleted keyboard screen save Use the words above to fill in the blanks in the sentences below. Text is typed on the _______________ of a computer. This is known as

_______________ the text. The text is displayed on the

_______________ where it can be _______________ to correct mistakes.

If a word is spelled wrongly, it can be _______________. If a word or

phrase has been missed out, it can be _______________. If a character

has been typed twice by mistake then one of them can be

_______________.

We can also do lots of other special things to the text. We can get it to

check our _______________. We can alter the _______________ which

are the blank gaps on either side of the text. We can insert information,

such as our name, in a _______________ which will appear on every

page of the document.

Finally we must _______________ our work into our own WP folder and

we can use a _______________ to produce a hard copy of the text.


Lesson 4 – Word Processing: Formatting Learning Intentions By the end of the lesson you will be able to format text: • using bold, italics and underline • by changing font and text size Some of the advantages of using a word processor are: • You can easily edit any mistakes by:

o inserting text o deleting text o amending text.

• You can easily alter the format of the text by changing:

o the font, size and colour o the style – bold, italic and underline o the alignment – left, centre, right or justified.

• You can easily change the order of the text by using the cut and paste

commands. • You can make sure that your spelling is correct using the spellchecker. • You can save your file and use it again later or print out many copies. • You can change the size of the margins. • You can change the orientation of the paper from portrait to landscape. • You can insert pictures.


Homework 4 – Word Processing: Formatting Due Date: ______________________________________________________ 1 Using the words from the word bank below, complete the sentences. italics home embolden highlighted mouse selected underline

the words shown below into the correct column.

Font Style Size

Times New Roman 12 point BrushScript MT bold Arial underline 18 point italic 8 point Courier New


Lesson 5 – WP: Alignment, Line Spacing & Orientation Learning Intentions By the end of the lesson you will be able to: • align text to the left, centre and right • fully justify text • alter line spacing • change the orientation of the page (portrait or landscape) Left Aligned -‐ This setting is typically the default setting when you create a new document. Left aligned text begins each line along the left margin of the document. As you type, the first word that does not fit on a line is placed at the left margin on the next line. This results in a straight margin on the left and a "ragged edge" margin on the right.

Right Aligned -‐ This setting is aligns the beginning of each line of text

along the right margin of the document. The result is a straight margin on the right and a "ragged edge" margin on the left. Right justification is

commonly used to display the company name and address near the top of a business document.

Centered -‐ As the name implies, centered text is placed in the middle of

each line. Centered text is often used for document titles.

Justified -‐ Justified text combines left and right aligned text. When a block of text is justified, each line fills the entire space from left to right. This is accomplished by adjusting the space between words and characters in each line so that the text fills 100% of the space. The result is a straight margin on each side of the page. Justified text is commonly used in newspapers and magazines and has become increasingly popular on the Web as well.


Line Spacing – This refers to the number of blank spaces between lines of type. The most common line spacings are single-‐spaced and double-‐spaced, but the line spacing in a word processor can be set to almost any amount of line spacing. Page Orientation – This is the way in which the page is displayed. The 2 types of orientation are portrait and landscape. Homework 5 – WP: Alignment, Line Spacing & Orientation Text can be aligned in 4 different ways – left, centred, right or justified. Name the type of alignment used in each example below:

Example Text Type of

Alignment

a) Business Studies Department

b) The Cottage

1 Station Road Brora

c)

Pupils in Business Studies can study Business Management and Administration and IT. Both of these subjects offer transferable skills – very useful for life after school.

d) Golspie High School


Lesson 6 – Word Processing: Tables By the end of the lesson you will be able to: • Create a simple table • Enter and edit text in a table • Format text in a table • Alter column widths and row heights Tables can be used to organise text into rows and columns. Information presented in a table is sometimes easier to read and understand.

NAME SUBJECT GRADE Donald Bremner Physics A Anne Campbell Maths D Neil Doogan Chemistry B Una Macphail English C Pauline Murphy History C
