THE SYSTEM UNIT
A System unit also known as a base unit, is electronic circuitry housed within the computer cabinet. It is the part of the
microcomputer that contains the Central Processing Unit (CPU).
POWER BUTTON
The power button is pressed to put the system ON or OFF. It is used to start the system from scratch.
RESET BUTTON
Reset button is used to initialize the system. The button is pressed to restart the system.
THE KEY LOCK
The key lock is used to PUT ON and OFF the computer. When the key lock is in OFF mode, the system cannot accept data.

BEHAVIORAL OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:
Create STYLES in Ms Word
Creates their own THEMES in Ms Word
CONTENT:
Styles and themes are powerful tools in Word that can help you easily create professional looking documents. A
style is a predefined combination of font style, color, and size of text that can be applied to selected text. A
theme is a set of formatting choices that can be applied to an entire document and includes theme colors, fonts,
and effects.
To Select a Style:
1. Select the text that you want to format.
2. In the Style group on the Home tab, hover over each style to see a live preview in the document. Click the
More drop-down arrow to see additional styles.
3. Select the style you desire. Now the selected text appears formatted in the style.
What is a Theme?
A theme is a set of colors, fonts and effects that applies to the entire document to give it a consistent,
professional look. You've already been using a theme, even if you didn't know it: the default Office
theme. Every theme, including the Office theme, has its own theme elements:
Why Should You Use Theme Elements?
If you're using theme elements, you'll probably find that your document looks pretty good and all of the colors
work well together, which means you don't have to spend as much time tweaking the document. But there's
another great reason to use theme elements: When you switch to a different theme, all of those elements will
update to reflect the new theme. You can drastically change the look of the document in a couple of clicks, and it
will usually still look good.
