The INFOTEP
INFOTEP, the governing body of the national technical-vocational training system of the
Dominican Republic, is an autonomous organization of the State, vested with legal personality,
non-profit in nature and its own assets, created by Law 116, of January 16, 1980, and regulated by
regulation 1894, of August 11 of the same year. It is directed by a board of directors, with a
tripartite structure, made up of the official, business and labor sectors, and administered by a
general direction.

Goals

• Organize and govern the national technical-vocational training system that, with the joint
effort of the State, workers and employers, focuses on the full development of human
resources and the increase in the productivity of companies, in all sectors of economic
activity.
• Promote the social promotion of the worker, through their comprehensive training, to make
them a responsible citizen, possessor of the moral and cultural values necessary for
harmony and national coexistence.

Mission

• Commitment

• Proactivity

• Equity

• Quality

• Integrity

Legal basis of operation:

As a non-profit institution, INFOTEP is financed through the sources set forth in Art. 24 of its
founding law, which establishes mandatory contributions of 1% of the salaries paid monthly by
for-profit companies, and 0.5% deductible of the annual profits that workers receive from their
employers. Likewise, an allocation from the State in the National Budget is provided for in the
legal basis of INFOTEP.

By provisions of Law 173-07 on collection efficiency, companies and workers make their legal
contributions to INFOTEP, starting on the 1st. Since December 2007, in the national banking
network, through the Single Information, Collection and Payment System (SUIR), administered by
the Social Security Treasury (TSS).

With this step, INFOTEP is part of the process of modernization of State institutions, to offer its
clients a service in line with the demands of the times, with easy access, and with greater
efficiency and effectiveness.

About ISO 9001 certification

In order to standardize and ensure the quality of its services to effectively satisfy the requirements
of its clients and related parties, INFOTEP implements an improvement process.
continues and implements its quality management system, after that
obtaining certification under the ISO-9001 standard in 2005.

To this end, workshops and seminars were developed for all

employees. The internal processes and procedures were also
identified and documented, the quality policy was defined and
the quality manual was prepared, among other actions inherent
to the process. In addition, all servers assumed the philosophy of order and cleanliness of the
Japanese 5 S technique, as well as the basic principles of the ISO standard, establishing
COLMADI tours (acronym in Spanish for 5 S activities), to verify the application of the
aforementioned technique, as well as the development and application of an improvement plan in
all areas of the institution.

In September 2005, it successfully passed the external quality audit, carried out by leading auditors

4
from the company SGS Panama Control Services, Inc., which is why they recommend certification
of the training entity. Already in November of the same year, it received the MX05/0691
certificate, which makes it a world-class institution.

As evidence of the maturity and strength of its quality management system, INFOTEP has passed
the external re-certification audits carried out by the same international company in 2008, 2011
and 2014.

The certification covers the design, development, execution and evaluation of professional
technical training services, and advisory and technical assistance services to companies.

Organizational structure
INFOTEP is directed by a tripartite Board of Directors, made up of representatives of the official,
business and labor sectors, and is administered by a general direction.
Currently, the general director is Mr. Rafael Antonio Ovalles Rodríguez.

Computer:
The computer (from English: computer ; and this from Latin: computare , 'to calculate'), also called
computer r 3 1 or computer r 4 5 (from French: ordinateur ; and this from Latin: ordinator ), is an
electronic machine that receives and processes data to convert it into convenient and useful information. A
computer is physically made up of numerous integrated circuits and many other support, extension and
accessory components, which together can execute various tasks very quickly and under the control of a
program.

It is made up of two essential parts, the hardware, which is its physical composition (electronic circuits,
cables, cabinet, keyboard, etc.) and its software, which is the intangible part (programs, data, information,
etc.). One doesn't work without the other.

Computer components

THE OPERATING SYSTEM:

It is the most important program on the computer. Without it the computer would not start and we would
not be able to use it. A computer that has an operating system is
It starts when the device is turned on and allows the user to
perform basic tasks.

There are many types of Operating Systems , whose

complexity varies depending on what type of functions
they provide, and what type of equipment it can be
used on. Some operating systems allow you to manage a
large number of users, while others control hardware
devices such as oil pumps.

Basic functions of the Operating System

The operating system is a set of programs that:

• Initialize the computer hardware

• Provides basic routines to control devices
• Allows you to manage, stagger and interact with tasks
• Maintains system integrity

The most popular operating systems:

- Microsoft Windows (for computers).
- Windows Server (for servers)
- Linux (for computers and servers)
- Mac OS (for computers)
- Chrome OS (for computers)
- Android (for smartphones)
- Windows Phone (for smartphones)
- iOS (for smartphones)
- BlackBerry OS (for smartphones)

Hardware and its parts

Hardware : Set of physical elements or materials that constitute a computer or computer system, and
which includes both internal and external components.

External parts or peripherals of the Hardware:

The Peripherals

8
The term peripheral applies to any device or accessory that is connected to the CPU. For example: printers,
scanners, CD and DVD readers and/or recorders, memory card readers, mice, keyboards, webcams, are
examples of peripherals.

Peripherals can be classified into the following main categories:

• Input peripherals : these are those through which external data is sent to the central
processing unit, such as the keyboard, mouse, scanner, or microphone, among others.

• Output peripherals : these are devices that display or project information to the device.
exterior of the computer such as the monitor, printer and speakers.

Storage peripherals : These are devices that store data and information for a long time. Random
access memory cannot be considered a storage peripheral, since its memory is volatile and
temporary. Examples: Hard disk, Flash memory, Magnetic tape, Portable memory, Floppy disk,
Recorder or reader of: CD; DVD; Blu-ray; HD-DVD.

Communication peripherals : allow interaction between two or more devices.

Example. Router, Modem, network card, Switcher, Bluetooth, Infrared, Wi-Fi, among others.

TURNING THE COMPUTER ON AND OFF Follow the steps below to turn on the computer 1. Push
the button on the monitor.

 Storage devices:
Storage devices are media in which the information processed on the computer is stored,
providing it with portability. The most widely used unit of digital storage measurement is the
GB.

SD card Memory Stick portable hard drive Floppy disk

There is currently another type of storage which is a
space offered through the Internet called cloud storage.
It is a storage space that uses the Internet, in which we can
save our files online. Example of clouds: ICLOUD,
DRODBOX, DRIVE, among others.

File extensions
In order for a file to be opened on the computer, it must
have the program that includes said file, otherwise it cannot be executed. Example:
X Microsoft Word document -------------- Its extension is .docx

1- Microsoft Windows 8

Windows 8 is the official name of this version of the most popular operating system from the giant Microsoft.
Windows 8 is a general-purpose system,
for use on PC platforms (personal
computers), both at home and
professional level, whether in desktop
computer format (Desktop PC), laptops,
tablets, netbooks, servers or multimedia
centers. As a novelty it adds support for
ARM processors, in addition to the
traditional x86 from Intel and AMD.
Throughout this practical guide
We are going to learn about the
•I Windows' 8 "
Practical Guide
fundamental aspects related to Windows
8: complete installation process, customization of the interface and graphic elements, the most important parts
of its configuration and administration, the file system, network access, security,... As the reader will be able
to see, we are going to focus on the functionalities most used by the majority of users and always from a
practical point of view.

1.1 . NEW FEATURES IN WINDOWS 8

Microsoft has reinvented Windows to focus on the user. Based on a robust and high-performance
system such as Windows 7, it has added a beautiful, fast and fluid design perfect to adapt to different
hardware platforms, from compact touch tablets and lightweight laptops to high-performance PCs and all-
in-one devices. ” with high definition screens. Throughout this guide, the reader who has some familiarity
with Windows 7 will discover that many applications and utilities have been added and improved, giving
the system usability and functionality hitherto unknown in Microsoft operating systems.

1
1.2 The desk

If we still want to work comfortably with our usual applications, the Windows Desktop still
exists and works just like Windows 7. Inside the Start Screen is the Desktop tile, you can click on
it to access the Windows desktop.

In any case, you can change the desktop background for something much more beautiful,
whether it is a family photograph or a beautiful landscape.

Depending on your Windows 8 settings and the programs installed on your computer, you may
have one or more icons on your desktop. The icon could represent a type of file (such as
documents, text files, or a database) or storage components (such as folders, hard drives, or DVD
drives), or it could also indicate the default programs for opening a file. .

Below each desktop icon is the name of the element that represents it. If the name is too long to
appear on two lines, it is truncated by an ellipsis （…） when not selected and displayed in full
when you click on it, or sometimes when you click on the desktop.

When you point to an icon, a ScreenTip appears containing information specific to the selected
item. Pointing to a program shortcut shows the location of the file that starts the program. Pointing
to a file shows the file name, type, file size, and modification date. You can start a program, open

1
a folder or file, or navigate to a network location or Web site by double-clicking the item or icon.

Note: You can create your own shortcuts to your programs for faster access. When you delete a
desktop shortcut, you don't delete the program, you just delete the link to that program, folder, file,
or Web site.
1.3 Customize our desktop
Customizing our desktop in Windows 8 is as simple as opening the context menu by right-
clicking on it. In this way we have access to three options with basic operations: Screen resolution ,
Gadgets and Customize , which we can see in Figure 3-15 and which we present below.

Figure 3 - 75. Desktop context menu.

If we choose the Screen resolution option we open the window that we can see in Figure 3-
16. From here we can change the current resolution of our screen, that is, the number of pixels that
can be displayed per screen. We can also switch to another monitor that we have connected to the
computer, something that is useful when we want to make a public presentation or simply watch
photos with friends on television.

Figure 3 - 16. Change monitor and screen resolution.

If what we want is to change other aspects of the screen we can click on Screen , level
immediately higher than the one we are in, Screen resolution , in the address bar (how to navigate
through the address bar in the windows we see it below). (continued in the following sections):
change the size of text and other elements on the screen, calibrate the color, etc.
1
 Another configurable option on our Windows 8 desktop is the presence of Gadgets .
Gadgets are tiny applications that can be integrated into the desktop so that they are always visible.
There are very simple ones, such as those that show the weather, a calendar, a photo slideshow,
current processor consumption... or there are more complex ones. If we do a search on the Web
about Gadgets we see that there are an infinite number of them which can be downloaded and
added to our configuration. In Figure 3-17 we can see the first page of the Gadgets installed by
default next to Windows 8.

1
 Figure 3 - 17. Gadgets for the desktop.

When Gadgets are added to the desktop it is possible to modify their behavior, size,
location... depending on how they are implemented and the possibilities they offer us.

Finally, if we choose the Customize option in the desktop context menu we can change
other settings that we are more accustomed to, such as the theme used for Windows (set of colors
and designs applicable to the general settings), the wallpaper for the desktop, the color of the
windows, the sounds to use when manipulating the elements of the operating system or the screen
saver (animation that appears when there is a period of inactivity on the computer), as we can see in
Figure 3-18.

Figure 3 - 18. Appearance and Personalization.

Also from here it is possible to modify other visual elements such as the appearance of the
mouse pointer, the representative image to be displayed for the user account or the icons that we
want to be present on the desktop. Changing each of these characteristics is extremely simple by
clicking on the characteristic we want to manipulate. We see that there are very few options to
choose from in the set of desktop themes present, both basic Windows 8 and belonging to Aero . If
we want to expand the repertoire of backgrounds and themes 16
 For desktop we can download them from the official Microsoft website by clicking on the Get
more themes online link, located in the upper right area of the window.
1.4 Working with desktop icons and file management:
Icon: It is the representation of access to a program through a small graphic image that can be
located on the Windows desktop, the start screen menu or task bar. To access a program using an
icon, double click on it.

1.4.1 How to organize or move icons on the desktop

- How to organize or move icons

To organize icons by name, type, date, or size, right-click a blank area on the desktop, and then click
Arrange Icons. Click the command that indicates how you want to organize the icons (by name or by
type, etc.). If you want the icons to be arranged automatically, click Automatic Arrangement. If you
want to arrange the icons your way, click Automatic Arrange to remove the check mark.
- How to remove or delete icons
Some icons are shortcuts to programs on your computer. Shortcut icons usually have an arrow in the
bottom left corner. If you don't want to use a desktop shortcut, click the icon and then drag it to the
Recycle Bin. This action only removes the shortcut, not the program it points to. You can also right-
click the icon and then click Delete to remove a shortcut from the desktop.

Some icons, such as My Network Places, Recycle Bin, and My Computer, cannot be deleted.
- How to change icon images
Some icons allow you to change the image that represents the icon. Not all icons allow this option.
To change the icon image:

1. Right-click the icon, and then click Properties.

2. Click the Shortcut tab (if one is available), and then click Change Icon.
3. Click the icon in the list you want to use, click OK, and OK again.

1.4.2 File Search

The search box is located at the top of each window. To search for a file, open the folder or library
that contains the file you're looking for, click the search box, and start typing. The search box filters
the current view based on the text you type. Files are displayed as search results if the search term
matches the file name, tags, other properties, or even the content of a text document.

To quickly search for files and folders, press the Windows + Q keys.

1.4.3 Understand files and folders

A file is an item that contains information (for example, text, images, or music). When opened, the
file may look very similar to a text document or image like those found on any desktop or filing
cabinet. The computer represents files using icons. You can recognize a file type by its icon.

A folder is a container where files can be stored. Other folders can also be stored in the folders. A

1
folder within a folder is usually called a subfolder. You can create as many p--; I
and k
subfolders you want and each of them can contain as many additional files and subfolders as you
need.

Ways to create a folder:

Create a folder using right click:

To create a folder using right-click, look for a blank space on your desktop or inside another folder.
There you will right click, which should show you a menu.

From that menu choose the option that says New. You will be shown another menu. From there
choose the Folder option. Next step Windows will create a folder, so name it according to the files it
will contain.

Create a folder using the keyboard:

For those who prefer to use the keyboard, the key combination would be Ctrl+Shift+Shift+n). This
will create the folder so give it a name.

Note: To open a folder you can double click on it or select the folder and right click, from the
displayed menu choose open or Open.
Editing tasks with folders (copy, cut and paste)
Copy: consists of creating a backup file of the original, in this case a folder, the following step must
be followed: we select the folder with a click, then we right click on the folder and from the
displayed menu we choose to copy and look for the place where it is you want to create the copy of
the file.
Cut: this editing task consists of removing a file from one location and placing it in another of the
operating system, the following steps must be followed: we select the folder with a click, then we
right click on the folder and from the displayed menu we choose cut and We look for the place
where we want to place the file.
Paste: consists of placing the file in the chosen location, following the steps mentioned above.

Delete folder: right click on the folder, click on delete and click on accept or simply click and drag
on the recycle bin.
1.4 TASK BAR
The taskbar is a fundamental element for user-operating system interaction when we use the
Classic Desktop interface in Windows 8. From it we have direct access to the applications that we
are using at the moment, the most used, software and services that are running, etc. Let's see how it
is structured and what its components are from right to left (Figure 3-19).

Figure 3 - 19. Windows 8 Taskbar.

1
 In the first part of the bar we can see the current date and time. If we click on any of them
we can see a magnified calendar and clock, and we can change the date and time settings of our
device. Then we have different icons with the most important processes running, and we can
manipulate their status and configuration on them. For example, we can see the icon for the audio
output and can change its volume, or the status of our network connection. In addition, Windows 8
regularly incorporates notifications about security alerts, updates,... Along with these icons we find
the so-called Toolbar , which contains configurable access to different elements of our computer:
desktop, links, search for files and directories, or the language, among others.

Continuing to the left we can see the different applications that we are currently working
with, so that if we click on them we recover the application window and operate on it again. By
standing on them we can observe their state. Finally, approaching the left end of the taskbar we
have quick access to the most important and used applications and directories: Internet Explorer
and Windows Explorer ... as well as any other application that we have added.

We can configure and edit our taskbar by right-clicking on it. We can choose what we want
to show in it, show the desktop (somewhat useful when we have many windows open), lock it... but
the most important thing is the Properties window as well as the Task Manager .

1
 Figure 3 - 20. Taskbar properties: Taskbar.

In the Properties window we have three basic tabs: Taskbar , Shortcut List and Toolbar
(see Figure 3-20). In the Taskbar option we can perform many of the operations already
mentioned for the taskbar, such as automatically hiding it, locking it, its location, or characteristics
of the icons it contains.

One of the most interesting options is the configuration of the icons and notifications that
we want to appear on the taskbar. To access it, we click on the Customize button, appearing the
window we see in Figure 3-21. From here we can easily choose how often to show icons and
notifications for the most important installed applications.

Figure 3 - 21. Selection of icons and notifications for the taskbar.

In Shortcut List we can configure the number of recent items that we will show in the
shortcut lists, and whether we want it to store recently opened programs, store and show all
recently opened items, or both. In the third tab, Toolbar , we have access to include or delete the
different elements that appear in the toolbar, located next to the notification icons and that we have
seen previously.

2
 3.5 NAVIGATION AND WINDOWS EXPLORER

Now that we know the essential elements of the Windows 8 Desktop, we move on to learn
about other aspects that are also important, such as navigation between windows of the operating
system and Windows Explorer, the reference utility to know how Windows is structured. To access
Windows Explorer from the Desktop,
we click on the icon located on the taskbar. Windows Explorer shows
initially the content of Libraries , the main directory with Documents, Images, Music and Videos ,
as we can see in Figure 3-22.

Figure 3-22. Windows Explorer.

Windows Explorer allows us to clearly view the contents of the file system and its
directories. On the left side we have a main menu of links to the sites that we can explore, such as
Favorites , which includes the Downloads, Desktop and Recent Sites , Libraries , Computer and
Network directories . By clicking on each link it is possible to display the respective submenus or
subdirectories.

When you click on any of the elements, the content of the central part of Windows Explorer
is updated with the elements it contains. So, for example, when we select Computer we can see the
hard drives available on our computer as well as the removable storage devices (see Figure 3-23). If
we choose Network instead, we see the devices recognized in the network to which we are
connected.

Figure 3 -23 . Windows Explorer view when you select Computer.

Both at the bottom and at the top of Windows Explorer we have different options and useful
information for our navigation through the file system and the different installed utilities,
operations, etc. In the lower right corner we find two icons that allow us to change the way we view
the information in the main area of the window. If we select the rightmost icon, the elements will
be displayed as large thumbnails, and if we select the leftmost icon, the elements will be displayed
as small thumbnails in the form of a list and accompanied by basic information about the element.

2
 The top part, on the other hand, is more interesting and is one of the improvements that
Windows 8 brings to Windows Explorer: the Ribbon interface, to which Microsoft Office 2007 and
2010 users will already be accustomed. In the upper left corner we find an application icon L that
gives us access to the usual window operations: Restore, Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize and
Close . The following icon •2 shows us the properties of the element we have selected. Finally, the
•u icon allows the creation of a new folder (where possible) and the icon gives us access to
Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar . Just below these icons we find a horizontal menu with
three options that will vary depending on the element we have selected at any given time (see
Figure 3-24): File, Equipment and View.

Figure 3 -24 . Windows Explorer menu when you select Computer.

The first option, File, displays a menu like the one in Figure 3-25, where we can perform
different operations such as Open a new window, Load or access a frequently used item, Delete
history, access Help or close the window .

Figure 3 -25 . Windows Explorer File menu when you select Computer.

The Team option displays a ribbon of options that will be directly related to Team (see
Figure 3-26). If we click on the first icon, the Computer Properties window will load, we can
access the multimedia drives, connect to a network drive, add a new network location or Open the
Control Panel. Also from here we can Uninstall or change a program, view the System Properties
or manage the computer. We are not going to go into each of these options since we will see them
in the next chapter, but it is important that we know this way to access them quickly from the
explorer.

Figure 3 -26 . Windows Explorer Computer menu when you select Computer.

2
 Finally, if we click on Vista, it will show us the display options of the explorer window,
which in this new version of Windows have been expanded and improved (see Figure 3-27)

Figure 3 -27 . Windows Explorer View menu when you select Computer.

As we have already mentioned, the options will change depending on the elements we have
selected. To give the reader an idea of the versatility and power of the new Windows Explorer
ribbon, in Figure 3-28 we see the configuration that it would display when selecting a Word
document that we have stored on our hard drive. As we can see, the ribbon shows everything that
can be done with a file of that format: Copy, Paste, Cut, Move to, Copy to, Delete, Rename,
Properties, Open with Word, and many other options.

Figure 3 -28 . Windows Explorer menu when selecting a Word document.

To finish with Windows Explorer we must comment on one of its most important elements
that best helps us navigate between them: the Address Bar . The address bar allows us to see at a
glance the location of the elements that we are exploring hierarchically, that is, the complete path
to the files and directories that we are viewing. The way in which the access path to these elements
is shown is different in Windows 7 and 8, replacing the classic path of the type
/drive/path/to/my/file with links or links to the different directories and elements referenced in the
route, therefore allowing quick access to them and their content, as we can see in Figure 3-29.

Figure 3 -29 . Address bar in Windows Explorer.

So far the presentation of Windows Explorer and how we can navigate between the
different elements of our file system, view the contents of directories, etc. Now, and to finish this
chapter, we see how all the customization and configuration options for the Windows interface
discussed so far, in addition to other additional ones, are available in the Change PC settings option
and more broadly in the Control Panel under the Appearance and Personalization menu.

2
 3.6 Using classic Windows windows
Since Windows 7, window management has improved considerably and these same actions are still
found in Windows 8. You can minimize, restore, or close a window by clicking the buttons at the
top right of the window's title bar. Additionally, you can use the following techniques to resize and
position an individual window.
To change the location of a window, without affecting its size, simply drag it.

To change only the height of the window, drag the top or bottom edge of the outline.

2
To maximize the height of a window without changing its width, drag the top edge of its outline
to the top of the screen or the bottom edge to the bottom of the screen.
Notice how a window frame is reflected.

To change the width of a window, drag the left or right side of the outline border.

2
To simultaneously change the height and width of a window, drag any corner
of its frame.

Note: You cannot resize a maximized window by dragging from one end of its frame; you must first
restore the window to a non-maximized state.

- To maximize the height and width of a window so that the window fills the entire screen, drag it
to the top of the screen until an outline appears indicating that the window will fill the entire
screen. Or just click the Maximize button.

To resize a window to the maximum height and half width, drag it until the

2
 mouse pointer touches the left or right edge of the screen. When you release the mouse
button, the window will expand to cover half of the available horizontal screen space.

Notes: You can use these techniques to compare the contents of two windows, simply drag one to
the left and one to the right.

To restore a maximized window or a half-width window to its original size, drag it from its title bar
down. Or click Restore.

5- Use and Modify the Taskbar

The taskbar, which appears at the bottom of the desktop, is the link to current information about
what is happening on your computer. At the far left there is no longer the famous Start button that
allowed access to the start menu. Now you need to point to the bottom left corner to display the
Start Screen thumbnail.

2
 The Middle section, also known as the active programs area, shows the buttons for the active programs or
files on the Desktop. You can easily access between them by clicking. Also new in the new Windows 8
Taskbar is that you can drag the application or file buttons and rearrange them again.

P. 4.20

If you open more than one program or file simultaneously, windows may quickly begin to pile up on
your desktop. Windows often cover each other or take up the entire screen, making it sometimes
difficult to see what else is underneath or remember what you've already opened. It is in these
situations that the taskbar comes in handy. Whenever you open a program, folder, or file, Windows
creates the corresponding button on the taskbar. The button displays an icon that represents the
open program.
When you move the mouse pointer over a button on the taskbar, a small image appears showing a
miniature version of the corresponding window. This preview,

2
Also called miniature, it is especially useful.

Note: Thumbnails can only be viewed if Windows Aero is running on your computer and a Windows
8 theme is running.
The notification area, located at the far right of the taskbar, includes a clock and a group of icons.
These icons indicate the status of some part of the computer or provide access to certain
configuration settings. The set of icons you see will depend on what programs or services you have
installed and how the manufacturer has configured your computer. When you move the pointer to
a specific icon, you see the name of that icon or the status of a setting.

You can place the taskbar at the top, bottom, left, or right by dragging it to the desired part of the
screen.

3
 • You can hide the taskbar when you are not using it or choose to always have it above the rest
of the windows so that it is always available.

At the far right of the Taskbar, you will find the famous and not so used
“Show desktop”. From here you can hide your windows in transparent mode like the
glass, and if you click on that button the open windows will be minimized.

In the following exercise you will learn how to use the taskbar. It will manage open programs
and organize them, you will also learn about some services that are in the notification area and
change the position of the taskbar.

No practice files are needed for these exercises.

1° On the Start Screen type Calc and click on the Calculator icon.

The calculator opens on the Windows desktop. The calculator is an application designed to work in the
classic Windows 8 interface.

3
2° Press the Windows key to return to the Start Screen and type Wordpad inside. Click on the WordPad icon
to open the application in Windows 8.

3° In the taskbar click on the Windows Explorer icon.

The Windows Explorer window opens. Now you have 3 classic windows open on your Windows 8 desktop.
Also notice that the icons for each of the windows are displayed on the taskbar. Generally when a window is
opened it always appears in its original size.

4° If the Libraries window is maximized, restore it.

5° Click and hold on the title bar of the Libraries window and move the window to the far left of the screen
until you see a frame appear indicating its new position. Release the mouse button to position the window.

6° Right click on a free space on the taskbar and click Show windows side by side.

Notice how the windows are arranged side by side.

3
 7° Click on the Maximize button in the Libraries window.

8° Right click on the Libraries window button on the Taskbar.

A drop-down list of options is displayed.

9° Click on Documents. Documents now opens in a new window.

6- Windows Control Panel

The Control Panel is the central location from which you can manage all aspects of your Windows 8
operating system: How it looks, how it works, how it communicates, and more.

3
 How to access the control panel:

While on the Windows Desktop, press the Windows + Q key combination at the same time and type
“Control Panel” in the search bar, double-click on the icon for April.

Another way is from the Desktop, open Windows Explorer (click the folder icon on the left of the
taskbar) and click "Computer" in the left column, then click in the "Computer" tab and select "Open
Control Panel"

Elements that make up the control panel:

How to uninstall a program using the control panel:

1- You have to go to Control Panel

2- Click on the programs and features option.
3- At this moment Windows creates a list with all the programs installed on your computer. We are
going to use this list to determine which programs we can uninstall . Sort the list by “ Frequency
of use ” or search for the desired program through the search bar by typing its name.
4- When the searched program appears, we select it from the list by clicking on its name.
5- A link appears in the bar that says uninstall
6- We click on this button and follow the procedure.

Steps to follow to connect a PC to a projector:

1. Make sure the projector is turned on, and then connect the projector's display cable to
the video port on your computer.

Note Projectors use VGA,DVI or HDMI cables. You must connect the cable to the
corresponding video port on your computer. Although some computers have both
types of video ports, most laptops only have one type. Certain projectors can be
connected to a USB port on your computer with a USB cable.

3
 2. Click to open Control Panel .
3. In the search box, type projector, and then click Connect to a projector. (You can also
run the displayswitch.exe command from the Start button search box.)

Note: To use a keyboard shortcut instead of Control Panel, press the Windows logo
key +P).

4. Select how you want the desktop to display:

■ Computer only (only shows the desktop on the computer screen)
■ Mirror (displays the desktop on the computer screen and on a projector)
■ Extend (extends the desktop from the computer screen to a projector)
■ Projector only (only displays the desktop on a projector)
Note: You can use this same procedure to connect the computer to a monitor instead of a projector.

Find Information about your system

On occasions you will have been asked: What type of system do you have? And surely many users have
answered, “I have the latest.” Sometimes you need to know something more about your system, such as the
speed of the processor, the amount of memory, or the edition of Windows installed on your computer.

The equipment manufacturer may provide additional information, such as phone numbers, support hours,
or its website.

3
Note: You can quickly enter the System screen by typing System on the Start Screen or by
pressing the Windows + Pause keys.

The Windows experience rating score displayed in the System window is not a cumulative score;
This is the lowest score for the following five components:

□ Processor speed
□ Installed RAM
□ General desktop graphics capabilities
□ 3D gaming graphics capabilities
□ Primary Hard Drive Data Transfer Rate

Software

The term software ( soft or soft parts in Spanish ) refers to the sum of rules, programs, data,
documentation and instructions that allow the execution of multiple tasks on a computer.

It is the logical and intangible part of a device, and acts as a link between the user and the hardware
(hard parts), that is, the tangible part of the computer.

Types of software:

Application Software : This includes all those programs that allow the user to perform one or more
specific tasks. Here are those programs that individuals use on a daily basis such as: word
processors, spreadsheets, editors, telecommunications, numerical and symbolic calculation software,
video games, among others.

Programming Software : are those tools that a programmer uses to develop computer programs.
For this, the programmer uses different programming languages. Examples include compilers,
computer-aided design programs, integrated packages, text editors, linkers, debuggers, interpreters,
among others.

System Software : is software that allows users to interact with the operating system as well as
control it. This system is made up of a series of programs that aim to manage hardware resources
and, at the same time, provide the user with an interface. The operating system makes it easier for its
users to use the computer since it is what gives them the possibility of assigning and managing
system resources. As an example of this type of software, we can mention Windows, Linux and Mac
OS X, among others. others.

Updating software consists of obtaining a more recent version and also usually corrects errors, adds
new functions or improves software (program or app). As long as you have updates.

The configuration : In computing , it is a set of data that determines the value of some variables of a
program or an operating system. These options are generally loaded at startup and in some cases it
must be restarted to see the changes, since the program will not be able to load them while it is
running, if the settings have not yet been defined by the user (custom), the program or system will
load the default settings.

The installation of computer programs ( software ) is the fundamental process by which new

3
programs are transferred to a computer in order to be configured, and prepared to be executed on the
computer system, to fulfill the function for which they were developed. .

The process of reversing the changes produced in a system by the installation of software is called
software uninstallation . For this reason, not only the files must be deleted, but also changes in
other aspects of the software, such as, for example, eliminating users that have been created,
withdrawing granted rights, deleting created directories until accounting is kept in a Package
Management System or in the system (eg: Windows-Registry).

Install a program

Although Windows 8 already comes with many applications, these are nevertheless considered
very basic, and some users even call them “filler software” and we ultimately pay for all the
programs that come with the operating system. Well, without arguing too much, surely you are
interested in installing a new program, whether it is to manage your email, edit a video or create
statistical graphs, Windows 8 presents very simple ways to install these programs.
How you add a program depends on the location of its installation files. Typically, programs are
installed from a CD or DVD, from the Internet, or from a network.

• Install from CD or DVD

You can install your programs by simply inserting their CD or DVD and following the steps of the
installation wizard.
Many programs installed from CDs or DVDs automatically launch a program installation wizard. In
these cases, the AutoPlay dialog box appears, where you can run the wizard.
If a program does not start installation, check the information included in it. This information will
most likely provide instructions for installing the program manually. If you cannot access the
information, you can examine the disk and open the program's installation file, which is usually
called Setup.exe or Install.exe.

• Install from the Internet

1° In your web browser, click on the link to the program.

2° Perform one of these actions:
• To install the program immediately, click Open or Run and follow the on-screen instructions.

• To install the program later, click Save and download the installation file to your computer.
When you are ready to install the program, double-click the file and follow the on-screen
instructions. This is a safer option because you can examine the installation file for viruses

3
 before continuing.
Note: If you download and install programs from the Internet, make sure that you trust the
manufacturer of the program and the website that offers it. Two reliable sites for downloading
programs Softonic (http://softonic.com/) and Uptodown (http://www.uptodown.com/) .

Final practice of the module:

1- Organize icons by size

2- remove the google chrome icon from the desktop
3- Create a folder named personal documents and change the icon.
4- Using the search option ( Windows + Q ) find the documents folder and create
a shortcut on the desktop by right clicking and sending to the desktop.
5- Return to the desktop and open the personal documents folder and create using the
keyboard (Ctrl+Shift+Shift+n) two sub - folders, one named my photos and the other
my songs.
6- using the editing task make a copy to the personal documents folder
on the C drive of the computer remember to use the explorer button on the task bar to
reach the C drive.
7- Delete the folder shortcut created on the desktop.

MODULE III
NAME: BASIC DIGITATION

General Objective of the Module:

At the end of this learning module, participants will be able to show their abilities and skills in
handling basic computerized typing applications, according to procedures.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

2- Handle generalities about the fingering program and its correct application, according
to instructions.
3- Start Computerized typing program, according to instructions.
4- Enter numerical and alphanumeric texts with agility and precision correctly according to
instructions.

4
Basic fingering:

Typing: Typing consists of writing data using the computer keyboard, to enter it according to the
type of task to be performed and according to the programs or applications (software) that are used.

Keyboard:

The keyboard works thanks to a matrix structure, each key is associated with a numerical code, and
it is the computer software that applies a meaning to that numerical code. Thanks to this system, the
same keyboard can be used for different languages, regardless of the characters printed on it.

The keyboard is divided into 4 fundamental parts, the alphanumeric keyboard, the numeric keyboard,
the function keys, and the control keys.

The alphanumeric keyboard is similar to the keyboard of a typewriter, it has all the letters of the
alphabet, the ten decimal digits and all the punctuation and accent marks, in addition to the space
bar.

The numeric keyboard is similar to that of a calculator, it has the ten decimal digits, the most
common mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) In addition to
the “Num Lock” or “Num Lock” key that activates or deactivates this keyboard .

The function keys are located at the top of the alphanumeric keyboard, they range from F1 to F12,
and are keys that provide shortcuts when using the computer system. For example, pressing F1
usually activates Help for the program you are using.

When looking at the following illustration, you can notice that the letters F and J, located in the
“guide” row, each have a relief that allows students to place on them, as the initial fingering position,
the tip of their index fingers, both hands. For its part, the “dominant” row contains four vowels (e, u,
i, o), this means that it is used to write the vast majority of Spanish words.

4
To facilitate learning the keys that correspond to each hand, it is recommended to draw a line to be able to
observe which key the fingers will perform their functions on the keyboard as shown in the following
illustration:

The control keys are located between the alphanumeric keyboard and the numeric keyboard, and bordering
the alphanumeric keyboard (Shift, Enter, Insert, Tab...) These keys allow you to control and act with the
different programs. In fact, they change function depending on the application being used.

Main keys and their functions:

• Enter / Enter: Key to end paragraphs or enter data.

• Cursors: Move the cursor to the desired location (indicated by the arrows)
• Backspace: Represented by an arrow pointing left, it allows the cursor to move back to the left,
simultaneously erasing the characters.
• Shift: Represented by an up arrow, it allows you to change from lower case to upper case while
holding it down and vice versa.
• Go back: It is represented by an arrow pointing left and is located above the Enter key. It is used to
move the cursor back to the left, deleting the characters.
• Insert: This key allows you to write or insert characters while deleting the next character. In
Microsoft Word and other programs, the program introduces the word SOB in the lower bar, which
indicates whether the key is activated or not.

4
 • Tab: It is represented by two arrows in the opposite direction (left – right). It is used to align texts
in word processors. In the operating system it is used to move the cursor through the different
windows and options, therefore it is a substitute for the mouse.
• Caps Lock: or “Caps Lock”, when you press this key, one of the LEDs (little lights) on the
keyboard lights up, indicating that the caps lock is activated, which causes all the text to be written
in capital letters (and pressing Shift is written in lowercase).
• Alt: Used in combination with other keys to execute program functions (Alt+E is to open Edit,
Alt+A is to open File, Alt+V is to open View)
• Alt Gr: In addition to serving as an Alt key, it also serves in combination with the keys that
incorporate symbols at the bottom right to insert them into the document (symbols such as @, €, #,
braces and brackets require pressing Alt Gr and the keys that contain those symbols, in this case 2,
E and 3)
• Control: Used in combination with other keys to activate different program functions. (Control+C
is copy, Control+X is cut and Control+V is paste in Windows)
• Del: The delete key, as its name indicates, is used to delete. As many fields in tables as there are
characters in processors.
• Esc: Escape is a key used to cancel processes and actions in progress, it is also used to close dialog
boxes or windows.
• Home: This key places you at the beginning of a line or document, depending on the program you
are using.
• End: Its function is the opposite of the Home key, and places you at the end.
• Page Up: Go back one page.
• Page Down: Move forward one page.
• Print screen: Also “Pet Sis”, means print screen, its function is to copy what appears on the screen
as an image. It is saved to the clipboard and you can paste it into any document that allows you to
paste images.
• Scroll Lock: Used under the MS-DOS operating system to stop text scrolling.
• Pause: Used in MS-DOS to stop actions in progress so that the text of those actions can be read.
• Contextual menu: When pressed, a menu of options is displayed, the same as when using the right
mouse button. It is represented by a small arrow that points to a kind of list, similar to the menu that
is displayed on the screen.
• Windows: It only exists on keyboards designed for Windows, it is represented by the logo, and it is
used to open the start menu.
• Space bar: Enter spaces between characters.

Some important combinations with the ALT key:

Ergonomics:

Computers have become common tools, due to

their versatility and effectiveness. Many people
spend hours on the computer every day.
Using the computer requires many repeated
movements.
Unfortunately, this can cause discomfort and
fatigue and even lead to Repetitive Stress
Injuries.
In the following pages you will learn how to
easily and effectively reduce the risk of injury,
as well as increase your comfort at the
computer with good ergonomics.

Chair and Desk

Start by checking that your chair and desk are properly adjusted:

Chair
□ Adjust the seat height so that your feet rest flat on the floor.
□ Make sure not to put pressure on the back of your knees.

Desk
□ Adjust the height of the desk so that
your wrists rest on it.
□ Your forearms should be level with the
desk and your arms should form an
angle of 90 degrees or slightly greater.

Help: If you don't have an adjustable chair or desk, try

using a lumbar support cushion, seat cushion, or
footrest.

4
Screen and keyboard
Now check your screen, keyboard and mouse.

Screen
□ Place the monitor directly in front of you
at arm's length.
□ Adjust the top of the screen slightly
below your eye level. You should look
down slightly while writing.

Keyboard and Mouse

□ Position the keyboard directly in front
of you, centered with the screen.
□ Place the mouse next to the keyboard
and on the same plane. When using the
mouse, keep your wrist straight and
your arm close to your body.

Good posture
Good posture is the key to comfort and health when working with the computer. Check your
posture using the list below.

Sit upright, with your thighs resting

completely on the seat.
□ Center your body in front of the
keyboard and screen.
□ Place your feet firmly on the floor or
on a footrest.
□ Relax your shoulders and keep your
elbows close to your body.
□ Keep your forearms and wrists
forming a straight line (neutral
position). Make sure your wrists are
not flexed or extended, in or out.

4
Practice in Proper Position
Take short breaks from time to time, Get up from the chair, stretch and move,

Change the way you sit. Lean back and forth, stretch your feet away from your knees or lift them
up,

| Listen to your body! If you feel any tension or pain, try to resolve it immediately with rest,
stretching, and paying attention to your posture.

| Don't stress your muscles too much while learning to write. A maximum of two lessons per day is
recommended; that is, a total of 10 exercises.

Follow all these tips and instructions to make your workspace more comfortable and turn healthy work
habits into a habit.

What is Touch Writing?

"Touch Typing" is a technique for typing faster and more accurately, using all ten fingers -
without having to look at the keyboard anymore.
After completing the TypingMaster Touch Typing Course you will be able to:
° Write more quickly with all ten fingers
0
Write without errors
° Write without looking at the keyboard
o Improve your computer habits, with good
ergonomics
This means you'll be able to write your
documents and emails much faster and with
fewer errors - saving a lot of time and enjoying
while writing.

4
Name of the fingers of our hand:

Finger Position
In the starting position, your fingers rest on the middle row of the keyboard - also
called the "main row." The rest of the keys are reached from the central row.

Now place your fingers in the middle row:

1. Place the fingers of your left hand on the A SDF keys (see Illustration).
2. Place the fingers of your right hand on the JKL Ñ keys.
3. Drop your thumbs lightly on the Space bar.
4. Keep your wrists straight and fingers slightly bent

Aid! Notice the little bumps on the F and J keys? They are there to help you find the
middle row without having to look at your hands.

4
 Learning Aids
Keep Your Eyes on the Screen
You will learn key positions quickly if you don't look at the keyboard while
practicing. If you can't remember where a key is located, check the
keyboard image on the screen.

Keep Your Wrists Up

Keep your wrists straight and up while typing. Resting your wrists on the
wrist rest will form an uncomfortable angle that will make it difficult to
move your fingers. This causes errors and slows down. Keeping your
wrists too high also has the same effect by increasing the stress on your
shoulders.

Focus on Success
A good success is the pillar of fluent writing. This is why you'll have a hit
goal throughout the course, over time as you continue to practice your
daily writing tasks.

Ready to Start Your speed will improve and use

the technique in
Just a few more helps before starting the first exercise.
Relaxed Posture
Sit upright with your elbows close to your body. Try to keep your shoulders, arms and hands
relaxed.
Take Pauses
Rest between exercises. Don't overdo it. We recommend taking a maximum of two lessons per
day.
Pause an Exercise
To pause an exercise, press the Pause button. The exercise time will relapse when you write
again.
We hope you enjoy learning Touch Typing with TypingMaster Pro!

General Objective of the Module:

At the end of this learning module, participants will be able to handle the program fluently and accurately, and
prepare different types of text documents using a word processor, according to instructions received by the
facilitator.

Learning objective:
• Manage applications for the preparation of documents, according to format.
• Perform basic steps to print documents, according to instructions.

Microsoft Word:
Microsoft Word is a computer application aimed at word processing. It was created by the
Microsoft company, and is integrated into the office package called Microsoft Office . 1
It was originally developed by Richard Brodie for the IBM computer under the DOS operating
system in 1983. Subsequent versions were programmed for many other platforms, including IBM
computers running MS-DOS (1983) . It is a component of the Microsoft Office office suite; It is
also sold independently and included in the Microsoft Works suite. The current versions are
Microsoft Office Word 2016 for Windows and Microsoft Office Word 2016 for Mac. It is
currently the most popular word processor in the world.

What's new in Word 2013

This version of Word 2013 brings the following new features and improvements.
- Dynamic Alignment and Layout Guides . When you drag an image through the document,
green guides appear that will help us align the image with the elements of the page, such as the top
of the paragraph, the margins, etc.
- Saving files to SkyDrive is easier than ever. By saving documents in the cloud, you can access
them from practically any device connected to the internet. It is also very easy to share documents
in read or write mode.
- With Word Web App you only need to have a Microsoft email account to access a reduced
version of Word for free. You can create and modify Word documents from the browser of any
computer connected to the Internet, without having to install Word.
- Office Mobile . Since September 2013, the version for mobile phones of Office with Android
and iOS systems has been available (it was already for Windows Phone). With Office Mobile you
can create and modify Office documents on your mobile. It is free for Office 365 subscribers.

0 Office
Welcome to your modern Office.
- Modifying PDF files . Directly from Word you can open PDF documents and modify text,
paragraphs, lists and tables just as you do in Word text documents.

5
- Improvements to the Review view . Now the design is clearer and allows you to easily see the
changes made. It's also easier to respond to comments.
- Videos can be inserted directly from the Internet , without having to previously download
the video to our computer.
- Reading mode has been improved . An icon now appears to continue reading where you last
left off. Double clicking increases the size of the images. Document sections collapse and expand
with one click.
1.2. Start Word 2013
This topic is designed for people who do not know anything about Word 2013 , if you have
used a previous version you can go to Unit 2 . Here we will learn how to create and save our first
document, you will realize how easy Word 2013 is and we hope that you will be encouraged to
follow the rest of the course.
If you don't know basic functions such as using the mouse, keyboard or windows, you can learn
them here.

The first thing you have to do to work with Word 2013 is, obviously, start the program. We can
do it in several ways:

From the Start menu.

The Start menu is accessed from the button normally located in the lower left corner of the screen
and from it you can start practically all the programs that are installed on the computer.

When you click the Start button A menu similar to the one you see in the image is
The appearance may change depending ondisplayed.
your version of Windows.
We are going to use this menu in two ways.

5
The first is by typing "word" in the search box. The Word 2013 icon will appear and just click to
start it.
The second is to search for it ourselves, to do this click on the All programs option, which when
displayed will show a list of the programs that are installed on your computer. Programs are often
organized in folders. The folder called Microsoft Office 2013 will contain the option we are
looking for: Word 2013 .

If the Word 2013 icon is on your desktop, double-click on it to start the program.

And if you don't have a shortcut but want to create one, locate the Word program in the Start
menu as you just saw and, instead of running it, right-click on it. The context menu will be
displayed. Hover over the Send to option and select Desktop (as a shortcut) .

Get started with Word

The first step when creating a document in Word 2013 is to choose whether you want to start from
a blank document or take advantage of the work already done in a template.

Save the document

Click File > Save , choose or navigate to a folder, type a name for the presentation in the File
Name box, and click Save OR Ctrl+G. Save work as you go. Press Ctrl+S frequently to auto save.

8. Document views.

The Word window can be customized (we will see this later) to change the tools and buttons that
are available, so you should take the images of the course as a guiding resource, which may not be
identical to what you see on your screen .

We have included descriptive notes for each item. It is important that you become familiar with
the names of each one, so that you can easily follow the explanations, since these terms are often
used.

Let's comment, broadly speaking, on the characteristics of each element.

1. The Quick Access Toolbar contains,

Typically, the options that are most frequently used. bar and pressing it opens a drop-down
menu with the options to restore, move, minimize, maximize and close. The next buttons
are Save, Undo (to undo the last action performed) and Redo (to recover the action that we
have undone).

2. The title bar, as we have already mentioned, usually contains the name of the open
document that is being viewed, in addition to the name of the program. It is accompanied
in the right area by the minimize, maximize/restore and close buttons, common in almost
all windows in the Windows environment.

6
3. and 4. The ribbon is the most important element of all, since it is a strip that contains the tools
and utilities necessary to perform actions in Word. It is organized into tabs that encompass logical
categories.

5. The buttons for get help , change the ribbon display, minimize, maximize, and close.

6. Scroll bars allow the display of content that does not fit in the window.

7. By modifying the zoom, we can zoom out or zoom in to see more detail or see a general view
of the result.
- You can directly press the percentage value.
- Or you can slide the marker to the - or + buttons right next to it by dragging it.

8. Document views define how the document sheet will be displayed. By default it is usually
displayed in Print View

9. The status bar displays information about the status of the document, such as the number of
pages and words, or the language in which it is being written. We can modify this information if
we click on it, since normally they are really buttons.

The first text

When you start Word 2013, an initial screen appears with the Blank Document option, when you
click it a screen like this appears.

In Unit 2 we will see all its components; Now we are just going to look at a few things.

In the center of the top we find the title bar . The name of the document on which we are
working appears. Next to it, the name of the program appears, Word , in this case because we are
in the desktop version of Word, but Word Web App could appear if we are in the free version of
Word on the Web.
When we start Word 2013 without opening any document, by default it opens a blank document
and assigns it the initial name Document1 . When we save the document we will change the
name.

Now we are going to explain how to write your first document, and you will learn how to correct
small errors and how to navigate through the document.

When writing a text you simply have to type it. You will notice that line breaks are made
automatically when you reach the right margin. If you want to make a line change explicitly, you
must use the ENTER key (also called ENTER or carriage return). This is a large key located on

6
the right side of the alphabetic keyboard. Its representative drawing is usually an arrow with the
shape that indicates that it goes down the line and is located at the beginning of the next one (to
the left).

A small flashing vertical bar marks your position in the text. It is called an insertion point, because
where it is located is where the text you type will be entered. You will notice that it progresses as
you write.

Don't confuse the insertion point with the mouse pointer.

- The cursor looks like this when it is inside the text area,
- this other • when it is above the menus, and it can even take other forms that we will see later.

When you move the mouse, what you are moving is the pointer; When you press the arrow keys
on your keyboard, you move the insertion point.

- When writing, it is common to make mistakes, but writing texts on a computer has the
advantage of making them easier to correct. To delete text we have the BACKSPACE key. This
key is usually found just above ENTER and usually has a long left arrow drawn on it.

- When you make a mistake, and you realize it immediately, press the BACKSPACE key once to
go back one position, erasing the last letter typed. If you hold the key down, it will continue to
delete letter after letter until you release it, so use it with some care to control its effect.

- You may not realize the mistake until after you've typed a few more letters. In that case it would
not be feasible for you to delete the entire sentence due to an error at the beginning of it. The
normal thing is that you move the insertion point to the error and once you have positioned
yourself, use BACKSPACE.
Moving, as we mentioned previously, is usually done with the arrow keys on the keyboard. They
are normally located in the lower area of the keyboard, near the ENTER key.

- If you notice the error when you have the insertion point far away from it, it is best to click after
the letter we want to delete.
It is important that you do it this way for the sake of time. Leaving the keyboard to pick up the
mouse and clicking is a waste of time, so we will only use the mouse in cases where keyboard
movement is going to cost us more.

The delete key ( DEL or DEL ) also deletes a letter, but the one to the right of the insertion point.

6
The ribbon
We have mentioned that the ribbon is the most important bar in Word, because it contains all the
options that can be made with the documents. Let's look at it in more detail.

Tools are organized logically in tabs or tabs
( Home , Insert , View ...), which in turn are divided into groups. For example, in the image we
see the most used tab, Home , which contains the
Clipboard , Font , Paragraph , and Styles groups. This way, if we want to refer to the Copy
option during the course, we will name it Home > Clipboard > Copy .

To navigate to a different tab, simply click on its corresponding tab name.

Q Some of the tool groups on the ribbon have a small button in their lower right corner. This
button opens a panel or dialog box with more options related to the group in question. In the
image, for example, the cursor is located on the button that opens the Clipboard panel. In the
Font group we would open the Font dialog box, and so on.

• Tabs may or may not be available. The ribbon has "smart" behavior, which is to show certain
tabs only when they are useful, so that the user is not overwhelmed by a large number of options.
For example, the Table Tools tab will not be visible at first, it will only be displayed if we insert a
table into our document and select it.

This function allows greater comfort when working, but if at any time we want to hide or disable
any tab manually, we can do so from the menu File > Options > Customize Ribbon , or by right-
clicking on it. ribbon and choosing Customize Ribbon . If you want to see in detail how to do it,
visit the following advanced customization of the ribbon . Besides,

• In the latest versions of Word, they are committed to providing accessibility to the program,
being able to control it completely using

By pressing the ALT key we will enter

keyboard access mode. In this way, small
boxes will appear next to the tabs and
options indicating the key (or set of keys)
that you must press to access that option without the need for the mouse.

Options not available at the current time are shown with numbers with a gray background instead
of black, for example, 3 in the image that you can see next.

To exit keyboard access mode, press the ALT key again.

• Show/Hide the ribbon .

If you double-click on any of the tabs, the bar will hide, giving you more workspace. The options
will be displayed again the moment you click on any tab again. You can also show or hide the
ribbons from the button of the

Move through a document

One of the advantages that word processors have provided is the ease of modifying and correcting.
The first step in this process is to place ourselves in the place where we are going to make the
modification.

6
 On the other hand, when we are viewing a Word document that does not fit on a screen, we will
need to move around the document to position ourselves in the part that interests us.

In both cases, it will be interesting to know all the ways that exist to move through the document,
and thus be able to choose the most useful one at all times.

Remember that the element that defines the position within a Word document is the point of

insertion , which is a flashing vertical line and tells us where the next letter we type is going to be
written.

• Short movements within the same screen:

With the mouse. Move the mouse cursor to the chosen point and click , the insertion point will be
placed at that location.

With the arrow keys. The left/right keys move the insertion point one position left/right, and the
up/down keys move the insertion point one line up/down. The END key takes us to the end of the
line and the HOME key to the beginning of the line.

Key combination:

To move Press the keys

One word to the left CTRL + left arrow
One word to the right CTRL + right arrow
One paragraph up CTRL + up arrow
One paragraph down CTRL + down arrow

9 Movements throughout the entire document:

Page Down and Page Up keys. These keys move back and forth a full screen . Note that a
screen is not the same as a page. The screen size is limited by the monitor while the page length is
defined by us.

 Key combination:

To move Press the keys

One page forward CTRL + Page Down
One page back CTRL + PageUp
At the beginning of the document CTRL + Home
At the end of the document CTRL + End

Note: On English keyboards the keys have other names: Home=Home, End=End, Page

Select
To perform many operations (copy, change the format, etc.), you must first tell Word which part of the text it
has to act on; This is what selecting is all about. The selected text is clearly identified because the background
of the selected text is colored (usually blue or black).

This text is not selected, but this other one is.

It can be selected with the mouse and the keyboard:

• Mouse . To select with the mouse there are two methods:
Dragging .
- Place the cursor at the beginning of the selection, press the left button and, without releasing the button,
move the cursor to the end of the selection.
By clicking and double-clicking .
- Place the cursor on a word and double-click : the entire word will be selected.
- Place the cursor right at the beginning of the line, we will see that the cursor changes shape and becomes
an arrow 4, click and the entire line will be selected; If we double-click , the entire paragraph will be selected.
- To select a graph or image, just click on it, the graph will be framed by a black box.

To delete or delete what is selected, simply press the DEL key. Another way to delete without previously
selecting is to use the keys, as indicated in the following table:

To erase Press the keys

One character to the left BackSpace

One word to the left Ctrl + Backspace

One word to the right Ctrl + Del

A trick : To delete a wrong word, just double click on it to select it and press the first letter of the correct
word, the selected word will automatically be deleted and we can continue writing the correct word in its
place.

In most cases, our document will be very enriched if it incorporates photographs, graphics, videos and any
other object that supports its content with more visual material. That is why each new version of Word is
concerned with improving the illustration tools, facilitating their insertion and their retouching and
adjustment.
The elements that make up Word are found in the Insert tab > Illustrations group, and

are the following: - Images . Insert an image or photo saved on disk. They can be

photographic images from digital cameras, the Internet, programs
such as Photoshop, Gimp, Fireworks, PaintShopPro, etc. They are usually JPG, GIF or PNG type. Some
operations can be performed on these images such as changing the size, brightness,..., but they cannot be
ungrouped into the elements that make them up. They are made up of points or pixels that each have a color
and a position but are not related to each other. These images allow size changes, but sometimes, if we
reduce them and later try to enlarge them again, they may lose resolution. When we talk about images, in
general, we will be referring to this type of non-vector images.
- Images online . A window will open for you to choose between Office.com Clip Art or Bing Image Search .
7
If you have SkyDrive it will also appear as another option. It is necessary to be connected to the Internet.
Clipart images are images available on the Office.com website. There are images that are built using vectors,
called Resizable by Microsoft, which allows them to be made larger or smaller without losing resolution. They
can also be ungrouped into the elements that make them up, make changes and regroup them (except for
those based on a photograph). There are also non-vector photographic images. They are all property of
Microsoft, which provides them to its Word users under certain conditions for non-commercial use.
If we search for images with Bing we will obtain images from the web.
- Shapes . By means of autoforms, lines, rectangles, ellipses, etc. These graphics are also vector.
- SmartArt . Representation of data in the form of organization charts.
- Graphic . Representation of data in graphic form.
- Capture . They are pieces of the screen captured by the user.
A multitude of operations can be performed on images and graphics, such as moving, copying, changing the
size, varying the intensity, etc. To do this we have several tabs that we will see below, mainly the Format tab
for images and the Design and Presentation tabs for graphics.
With all these elements there is no excuse not to design Word documents with an attractive graphic
component. Throughout this unit we will expand these concepts.

document, and which we already know. It may be useful for you to press the button that allows you to display a
preview panel in the window to see the images without having to open them, simply by selecting them.

Once we have selected the file we want to import, we will press the Insert button and the image will be copied
to our document.
Sometimes we will not be interested in inserting a copy of the image, but rather linking it so that when a
change is made to the original image it is automatically updated in the Word document. To do this, we must
press the small triangle-shaped arrow on the side of the Insert button and select the Link to file option.

9 Include images from the Internet

To include an image from the Internet in the document, the process will be the same. The only thing we will
have to learn is to save the image on the hard drive so we can use it as we would with any other image.
When we are browsing and we see an image that we are interested in keeping, we have to right-click on it and
choose the Save image as... option from the context menu. In the window that will appear, choose where to
save it and with what name.
Depending on your browser, this option may be called slightly differently. There is also the Copy option that
copies the image to the clipboard and then you just have to Paste from Word.
In most modern browsers, when you place the cursor over an image, these

icons in a corner of the image, if we click we will achieve the same
result.
On the other hand, when we use a search engine (Google, Bing,...) by default it searches the Web for all types
of documents, but we have the possibility of marking Images in the top bar so that it only searches for images.
Include images from other programs
By selecting and copying an image that we are using in another program, such as Paint or Photoshop, we can Paste it
into Word.
Exercise: Insert image from file
In this exercise we will practice how to insert an image that we have saved on the computer . We will use the photo
image. jpg that is included in the course exercises folder. Have it located before you start.

1. Open the Curriculum Vitae file.

2. Place the insertion point before the first title, for example by pressing CTRL+HOME.

3. Select the Insert tab and click the Image button.

4. In the dialog box that appears, browse the folders until you locate the photo.jpg file for the course exercises.
Select it and press the Open button.

5. Even if it doesn't look good like this, it doesn't matter, save the changes and close the document, we will modify
its position and adjustment later.

Insert screenshot
An option in the Insert tab > Illustrations group that may be useful is Capture. The screenshot is an exact image of what
is being displayed on your computer screen.
The steps to take a screenshot, without using this command, are:

Press the Print Screen key. To take the "photo" (copy of what we are viewing) and save it to the clipboard.

Paste the image to a drawing editor, such as paint.

Save the image.

Insert the image into Word from the Insert tab and the Image from file option.

In Word 2013 we can avoid all these steps simply with one button.

When you click on Capture, a menu is displayed that allows you to choose which screen we want to capture.

Each of the open, non-minimized windows is displayed. Just click on one of them to copy it to the Word document.

It also has the Screen Clipping option. It is similar to the Snipping tool included in Windows 7. It allows you to choose
which specific area of the window you want to stay with.

7
After clicking on Screen Clipping you have three seconds to position yourself on the screen you want, assuming you
have several open, then just move the cursor to capture the chosen area of the screen.

7
Another interesting point to keep in mind is that the Word window itself does not appear in the screenshot, it is
omitted as if it did not exist, so that we can have the screenshots without worrying about Word covering up areas of the
window or taking up space. on the screen.

The screenshots will be inserted in their actual size, but don't worry, because you can manipulate the image to change
its size and other properties.

program We can do it in several ways

The Start button is accessed from the button located, normally, in the lower left corner
of the screen and from it you can start practically all the programs that are installed on
the computer.

When you highlight the Start button, a menu similar to the one you see in the image is
displayed. The appearance may change depending on your version of Windows.

Spelling and grammar (I)

Spelling and grammar checking is another of the great contributions of word processors. Word 2013 has powerful tools
in this field that have been significantly improved since the first versions.

Avoiding errors in our texts is now much easier. However, it is worth knowing that reviewing a document and just
because Word does not find any errors does not necessarily mean that this is the case. Since there are errors that Word
cannot detect since they depend on the context.

The way that Word detects erroneous words is to check if the words in our document exist in the dictionary that it
includes, along with some grammatical rules. What Word is not capable of doing, at the moment, is discerning the
meaning of words in each context.

7
For example, if we write The bibliography of the great writer Miguel Delibes is very coarse and vast! . Word will not
detect any errors since both " vasta " and " vasta " are correct words that exist in the dictionary, although in the first
case the correct word is " vasta " and in the second case " vasta ".

The spelling check consists of checking that the words in our text are not wrong and the grammatical check tries to
ensure that the sentences do not contain grammatical errors such as " Books are good "; where the gender of the
subject and the adjective do not agree.
Obviously Word performs the spelling check better, because it only has to compare with dictionaries. That is why it is
important that we pay special attention to possible grammatical errors, which, depending on the context, are more
difficult for the program to identify.
We can perform a spelling check, a grammar check, or both at the same time, as we will see.

Revise while typing

By default, Word will underline with a wavy line the words that it considers contain spelling errors in red and those that
it considers contain grammatical errors in blue . It will do so as we write, without the need to expressly request
revision. Word will not be able to detect grammatical errors until the sentence is finished, for example, with a period.
This east bus has broken down.

These lines are informational only, which means that if we print the document they will not be printed.
To correct the error we must place the cursor over the underlined word and press the right mouse button . Then the
context menu will appear that will allow us to choose one of the suggested words.
to
Orthography . In this case, for the error, Jugete offers us this context menu.
This toy bus has broken.
toy •
jubete
I toyed

Skip all
Add ral dictionary
& Hyperlink...
L9 New comment

We see that there are several suggestions to correct the error: toy , toy and toy . We will have to click on the one that
interests us. This is the basic way to correct our documents.
In addition to the suggested words, in the context menu we find other interesting options :
- Skip everything : Sometimes the corrector makes a mistake, or we are simply using proper names or brands that are
not included in the dictionary. In this case, we must ignore the error. If we do not want this word to be identified as an
error again throughout the document, we must
select Skip all . Grammatical errors are based on the fact that the word itself does not have any error, the error is
produced by its dependence on the context, for this reason, we will not be able to omit all of them, but rather we must
Omit once . However, this option does not appear in the context menu, to be able to use it we must open the Spelling
panel by pressing F7, which we will explain a little later.
- Add to dictionary . Adds the underlined word to the custom dictionary and will no longer show it underlined.
8
We can add words to the dictionary if we are sure of their existence. For example, scientific terms that are not usually
considered.
Or, for practical reasons. If we constantly use the name of our company (aulaClic) and it always presents problems, the
most practical thing is to include it in the dictionary, so as not to have to omit it from each of the documents.

- Grammar . In our example, the word suggested for the grammatical error is Este , so the sentence would be "This
bus..."

We see that it offers the Skip once option, with the meaning that we have already seen, and the Grammar... option
that opens the grammar panel that we will see below.

Having proofread while typing enabled can cause long documents to load slowly. This is because, when you open the
file, all its contents will be automatically reviewed. If we use Word primarily on large files or to review and view what
other people have written, we will not be interested in having correction active. In that case, we recommend that you
disable it.

Exercise: Check spelling while writing

In this exercise we will practice how to correct spelling and grammar errors while writing a text .

1. Open Word. A blank document will start. Type the following text, including errors:
^Spanish literature. Contemporary writers. Death took IGNACIO ALDECOA (1925-1969) in full
creative maturity, but the work he left us is enough to place him among the great
contemporary narrators.

2. At the end of each of the sentences, stop to look at the underlined words with the spelling error mark.

3. Click with the right mouse button on each of the incorrect words. In the context menu you will first find some
suggestions for correction. In each case you must click on the one you consider most appropriate.
That is, you must choose Spanish , contemporary and ha , which are the only options shown. In narrators ,
however, there are several options, you must choose narrators .

4. Save the document with the name Ignacio Aldecoa .

Force review. Panels.

If we do not want to change each of the words manually, we can resort to forcing the revision once we have finished
writing. We will do it from the Review tab > Review group > Spelling and Grammar option, or by pressing the F7 key.

8
Spelling Icon

Word will begin to carry out the spelling check and when it finds a possible error it will stop and show it in the Spelling
panel or in the Grammar panel so that we can choose the most correct option, in a similar way to what we just saw with
the context menu, the difference is that there are more options available on the panel.

Let's see how it works:

Spelling panel.

At the top of the panel we see the panel title: Grammar. Next appears the word causing the error, in our example, toy.

On the next line we see the buttons Skip, Skip all and Add (to dictionary). The meaning is the same as what we have
seen in the context menu.

Below we have an area that contains a list of the most similar words that Word has found in its dictionaries. In many
cases, like this one, the correct word (toy) will be found within this list. In this case the error was that the u was missing.

To change the wrong word for the suggested one, we only have to make sure that the one we want to apply is selected
and press one of the two following buttons Change or Change all. Most of the time the first option will be the correct
one, so we won't even have to bother selecting the word.

Change. It changes only the error in the position of the document we are viewing, that is, it corrects the error once.

Change everything. It changes the error throughout the entire document we are viewing, that is, it corrects the error
every time it has occurred.

At the bottom it informs us of the language that is being used in the correction, in this case, Spanish (Spain). We can
change it by clicking on the triangle on the right.

There are more configurable elements in the spelling and grammar check that you can change from the File > Options
button and there select the Review section. For example, how to deactivate the option to review while you write that
we already saw in a basic topic. If you want to see more configuration options, visit the following advanced.

If you want to learn more about how to add words that you usually use and that the corrector detects as errors to the
dictionary , visit the following advanced

8
Grammar Panel .

This panel has the same options that we have seen in the context menu, we can Skip or Change , at the bottom of the
panel there is an explanation about why Word has considered it an error.

• Once the entire document has been reviewed, a warning message like the following is displayed:

If we modify the document we can review it again and any omissions made will be ignored and re-identified as errors.

Keep in mind that each of the corrections made is assumed to be an action in Word, and therefore can be undone with
the Undo button or the CTRL+Z keys. Therefore, if you make a mistake in a correction, don't worry, you can close the
box and undo the action, and then continue with the review.

8
Practical exercise:

In this exercise we will practice how to correct spelling and grammar errors after entering a text .

1. Open the Ignacio Aldecoa document created in the previous exercise. Copy and paste the following text at the
end of the document, in a new paragraph following the existing text.

In July, gentlemen, being a conductor on a tram, it's hard to smile. In July you sweat too much; the vadana of the cap
compresses the head. In July the streets are white and blinding as plates, or black and cool as caves. In July is
precisely the time when old collectors are usually given the delicate, educational and boring task of teaching those
who do not know; That is, showing aspiring trambiarios how to get paid quickly and politely. (Complete Stories,
Volume 1. IGNACIO ALDECOA)

Remember that to copy the previous text you must select it on this page and press CTRL+C. Then you must go to the
end of the text in the Word document (by clicking or with CTRL+END) and press the ENTER key. Once the insertion point
is located, press CTRL+V to paste.

2. Click the Check tab and choose the Spelling option and

3. grammar , in the Review group .

4. A dialog box will open showing the first error. He

suggests changing a to ha . The suggestion is
appropriate, so we will press the Change button. If
this does not happen, check that the language
selected in the box is Spanish . In
In our case we use the international alphabet , but
you can select the one you think is best
appropriate.
5. The following error is automatically displayed. He suggests changing the tram for the tram . We will accept it
again by clicking Change .

6. Then we will see that in the next error, vadana , several suggestions are shown. We select the first one and
press Change .

7. Finally, we will also change trams for trams .

8. Word will display a message indicating that the review is complete.

In our case we have not needed to omit any errors and all the first suggestions have been valid. However, it is
not recommended to use the Change all option. Looking at each case one by one will guarantee that Word
does not change the meaning of our text without us realizing it.

9. We save the changes by pressing the CTRL+G keys and close the document.

Copy, cut and paste

When we talk about copying we mean placing a copy somewhere else; while when we talk about cutting we mean
removing something from one place to take it to another place. You can use several methods.

8
 Cut
Archiv Start Insert

e
- — E Copy
Paste
+ .J Format Painter
• Using the mouse and the icons in the Clipboard group of the Home tab: clipboard •

Select the element (character, word, paragraph,...) to copy or cut.

1.
Click on the copy or cut icon,
2.

3. Place the cursor at the destination point and click the paste icon.

Q Using mouse :
Let's see several methods:

right, choose copy or cut, in the context menu go to the position where we are going to copy or
paste, press the right button and choose paste .

8
 2) Fast . Select with a double click , press the right button, when a small square
appears below the cursor, without releasing it, go to the position where we are
going to copy, release the button and a menu will appear: choose the copy
here option.

• With the keyboard :

First, select the text: with SHIFT+arrows , we select letters, (with SHIFT+Ctrl+arrows , we select words).

Second, copy with Ctrl+C . And finally, go to the position where we are going to paste, press Ctrl+V .

It is advisable to practice all the methods and choose the one that is most comfortable for us. Keep in
mind that the Keyboard Only method does not require holding the mouse and, although it seems
cumbersome, for people who type quickly, it can be very effective.

When we copy or cut, Word saves it to the clipboard, this way we have the last 24 elements that we have
copied and at any time we can copy one of them again.
Undo and redo
Fortunately, Word allows us to correct errors easily. If we have just deleted an entire paragraph and we
realize that that was not the paragraph we wanted to delete, it is not necessary for us to hold our hands in
our heads regretting the mistake. With a single click we can undo the erroneous action and recover the

paragraph. Let's see how to undo actions:

• The last action taken .

To undo the last action performed, click the Undo icon, from the quick access bar.

Yet another way to undo is to press CTRL+Z.

8
 The last actions taken .

If we click on the triangle to the

right of the undo icon, a list will
appear with the latest actions to
undo. By placing the cursor in that
list we can undo several actions at
the same time. For example,
placing the cursor on the third line
of the list will undo three actions.

The list tells us in abbreviated form what are the different actions that we can undo, for example, Text Fill
Effect, Writing "the", Italics .

• Redo.

Using the Redo icon, in the same way, we can redo the actions that we have just undone. For example, if
we italicize a paragraph and undo the action because we think it doesn't look good in italics but after a
moment we think it looks better in italics, we can redo the action and leave it in italics again.

Another way to redo is to press CTRL+Y.

9 Repeat format .

When the Redo button is not active, the Repeat button format C appears instead
which allows
you to repeat the last formatting action performed. For example, if we select a word and change the font
size to 14, all we have to do is select another word and press this button to change the font size to 14. This
button is useful if we have to apply an action to several words distributed throughout different parts of
the text.

Exercise 1: Copy and paste text

In this exercise we will practice how to copy and paste text .

Who doesn't remember the typical punishment of copying the same thing a hundred times in a notebook?
In this exercise we will see how easy it would have been with Word.

1. Write the text once In Word we copy with CTRL+C and paste with CTRL+V .

2. Click on the left margin of the sheet, at the level of the line you just wrote. Make sure the cursor
points to the right and not, as it usually does, to the left. In this way we will select the entire line,
since the first step to copy text is to select it.

3. Press CTRL+C or the Copy button on the Home tab > Clipboard group. Apparently nothing
happens.

4. Press END to place the insertion point at the end of the line and deselect it. Then press ENTER to
start a new paragraph.

5. Press CTRL+V or the Paste button on the Home tab. To do this, you will hold down CTRL but make
sure to make a small press with the V. Without releasing CTRL, press V three times. The copy will
be pasted three times, that is, we will have the same phrase written four times with minimal
effort.

6. Now, hold CTRL and press V steadily. You will notice that sheets and sheets are filled with the

8
 same text, until the moment we release the key.

Exercise 2: Practicing a little more

The actual usefulness of copy and paste is very vast. It is normally used to copy text and make small
modifications to it. And it is especially used to paste information into Word that is in another document or
in another source, such as the Internet.
This exercise will deal with copying and modifying a text from this course in Word.

1. First, we will delete the previous sentences. To do this, we select all the text in the document with
the CTRL+E keys and press the DEL key.

2. Select the following text (click before the first letter and drag and hold until the last one) and
press CTRL+C to copy it:
Sometimes I see the light while doing thealaclic exercises. Then I realize how far I still have to
go, but also how far I have already walked.

3. Then, go to Word and click Paste or press CTRL+V.

4. Now, double click on the word classroomclick in your document. It will be selected.

5. Write Word and in this way the new text will replace the selected one. The result will be the
phrase: Sometimes I see the light while doing the Word exercises. Then I realize how far I still
have to go, but also how far I have already walked.

6. Finally, open the Clipboard panel by clicking the small button in the lower right corner of its
group. You will notice that the phrase you copied is still in memory, so if you press Paste again, it
will be pasted again. Close the panel with its cross in the upper right corner.

7. Close the document without saving changes.

Search for and replace

If what we want to do is replace one word with another we have to use the Replace button.

We can run it from the Home tab > Editing group > Replace option, or with the CTRL+L key combination.

The following dialog box will open:

Find and Replace Dialog

In the Search field we will put the word or phrase to search for and in the Replace with field we will put
the word or phrase that we want to replace the searched word. Now we can choose one of the three
actions that the three available buttons allow us:

8
-Search next. Find the next occurrence of the word to search.

-Replace. Replace the found word and search for the next occurrence.

-Replace all. It replaces all occurrences it finds automatically, without prompting each time. When
finished, it informs us of the number of occurrences it has replaced.

Exercise: Find and Replace:

Open Word. We will work with the blank document shown. Copy and paste the following text into it:

My name is Melisa and I am from Valencia. I am following the Word course to learn how to take
advantage of my computer and progress in the workplace. Knowing this program will help me write
documents more effectively.
Signed
Melisa (Valencia).

Remember that to copy it you must select it here and press CTRL+C and then, in Word, press CTRL+V.

Exercise 1: Find and Replace

Notice that the name and city are repeated twice in the text. It doesn't matter if there are two or two
thousand, we can easily replace it as follows:

1. We press the CTRL+L keys or select the Replace tool on the Home tab, Edit group.

2. In the dialog box, type Melisa as the value to search for and in the Replace with text box type
your name. Then, hit the Replace All button. A message will notify us that the value has been
replaced twice. We accept it.

8
 3. Repeat the operation for the city. The value to look for will be Valencia and the value to replace
the city where you live.
The text is now fully personalized and quickly and easily. The result will be similar to the following:
My name is Pablo and I am from Buenos Aires. I am following the Word course to learn how to take
advantage of my computer and progress in the workplace. Knowing this program will help me write
documents more effectively.
Signed
Pablo (Buenos Aires).
You can now close it, without saving the changes.

Before printing
Before printing it is interesting to take a look at the general appearance of the document to see if
everything is correct.
To do this we will make sure that we are viewing the document in print view. In the
View tab must be selected Print Layout , or we must check that this option is checked in the status bar
As you already know, this view presents
the page as it will be printed, with graphics, images, headers and footers, etc.
If you've used previous versions of Word 2007, you may miss Preview . In
Word 2010 and 2013 no longer exists. What has been done is to include the most options in the View tab.
2| One page
□ □Multiple pages
Zoom 100%
"• Page width
interesting ones, which are the ones from Zoom Zoom
:
The One Page button will fit the page to the space you have on the screen, so that it fits completely. The
same thing happens with Two Pages , but with two of them, one next to the other.
But what if we have more pages? What if we want to see above the 15 , 30 or 500 pages that the
document has?

Zoom
To do this, we must press the Zoom button
A window will open with a very interesting option: Multiple Pages .

9
We will click on the monitor-shaped button and a submenu will be displayed where we can select how
many pages we want to see and how they should be organized.

For example, in the image we want to see a preview of a 15-page document, so we have decided to show
3 rows with 5 columns each. We select the pages the way we want. Just below the menu it will indicate
that we are going to display 3 x 5 pages .

On the preview screen we see how it will look, and when we press OK we will see the real result.

From this view we can better appreciate and correct the details. For example, if a page contains only one
or two lines of text, the ideal would be to try to fit the text so that it fits on the previous one, thus saving a
paper. We will also see more quickly and comfortably if the graphics or images in the document are well
centered, etc.

Once we have gotten an idea of how it will look, the interesting thing will be that we return to the view
that we normally use to work.

- The Page Width option fits the page to the width of the Word window.

- The 100% option shows the original size of the page, regardless of the size of the Word window.

To print a document we can press the CTRL+P keys or go to the File tab and select Print . On the screen
you will see the printing options, as shown in the following image.

9
On the right you can see a preview of the document as it will be printed. If you like the result, just press
the Print button and you will have your printed copy. That's all.

But of course, as always, we will have a series of configuration options that will help us achieve the desired
result. These options are the ones that we are going to expand on throughout the topic.

Print window

• As we have said, in the area on the right we see the preview of the page. If you have more than one
page, we can change the page to view:

- Using the arrows below or writing the page number to

visualize.

- Or by moving the vertical scroll bar just to the right of the preview.

Right next to it we find a zoom tool to zoom in or out of the page. We will do it by pressing the - and +
buttons or by sliding the marker. The button on the right allows you to adjust the page to view the entire
page with a single click.

9 In the left area of the window we will have a series of printing configuration options, which will allow us

9
to:

• Choose how many copies to print of the document.

• Choose which printer we want to use to print the document, in case we do not want to use the
default one that is selected by default. We can also modify the Properties of the selected printer ,
for example to print in black and white.

• Configuration options such as:

- Which sheets to print: The active sheets, the entire book, or the selection made.

- The intercalation. When we print multiple copies without collation, each page is printed X times, for
example: 1,1,1 2,2,2 3,3,3 4,4,4 would be the printing of three copies of a document that occupies
four
pages. On the other hand, if we use collation , the entire job is printed, one time after another. The same
example would be: 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4

- The orientation and size of the paper.

- Modify the margins.

- Choose how many pages will be included in each printed sheet.

- Access Page Settings .

Set page
Most of the options we have mentioned will also be found in the dialog box that appears when you click
the Page Setup link.
- J Left: 3 cm Right: ...

1 page per sheet *

Set page, 1 1of15,

The following dialog box will open:

9
The options are classified in the Margins , Paper and Layout tabs. We are not going to see them in detail
because they are options that we have already seen in the Page Design unit, but we are going to mention
the options that may be more interesting.

• For example, the Apply to option. This option allows us to mix settings when printing a single document.

Imagine that you want to print the first 5 pages vertically and the rest horizontally. In previous versions of
Word you would have had to make two separate printouts, one for pages 1 to 5 and one for the rest. But
now it is no longer necessary. If you are on page 6 in the preview when you access the dialog box, you can
change the orientation and choose the From now on option in the Apply to drop-down menu.

This is just an example, we could modify the margins or any other configurable option in the dialog box.

9 If we normally always print with the same parameters (margins, orientation, paper type, etc.), the
ideal is to press the Set as default button after having configured printing. This way it will always
print like this by default.

Page numbers

When we create a document, Word numbers the pages consecutively to be able to reference them,
that number is the one that appears on the left side of the status bar, but this page number does not
appear in the document
PAGE 2 OF 6 1029 WORDS [ SPANISH (SPAIN)

If we want the page numbers to appear in our document when we print it, we must insert them
9
from the Insert tab, displaying the Page Number option and choosing where we want the number
to appear.

Exercise: Number the pages

In this exercise we will practice numbering the pages automatically, and modifying the numbering
parameters.

1. Open the file file.

2. Click the Insert tab and then the Page Number tool. In the menu that appears, place the cursor on
the End of Page option and choose the third option, which is Plain Number 3 , that is, the right-
aligned number.

3. Press the Close Header and Footer button on the Design tab of the ribbon.

4. You will notice that the numbering is not included on the cover and that it begins with the value
1 . We are going to modify it so that it starts with 2 , assuming that the cover is 1 but without
including the number. To do this, we go to Insert > Page Number and select the Format Page
Number option.

5. In the dialog box that appears, we change the Start at value to 2 , either by typing it directly or by
clicking the small up arrow.

 6. We press Accept .

7. Check that now page 2 (the one behind the cover) is numbered 2 , and so on.

8. Closes the document saving changes.

Tables (I)
A table is made up of cells or boxes, grouped by rows and columns . In each cell you can insert text,
numbers or graphics.

Tables allow information to be organized into rows and columns, so that operations and treatments can
be performed on the data. For example, getting the mean value of a column or sorting a list of names.

Another use of tables is their use to improve the design of documents since they facilitate the distribution
of the texts and graphics contained in their boxes. This feature is used above all in the construction of
Web pages for the Internet, although it is not recommended, since in HTML there are other more
appropriate layout possibilities.

Tables are a much more powerful way to organize data than using tabulations or other methods.

We will find three possible ways to create tables: THE Excel Spreadsheet
1. One of the ways is to use the grid that simulates a E Quick tables •
table . Each square represents a cell and when you
hover the mouse over it, the selection we make will be colored orange. By clicking we confirm that the
selection has been made and the table is inserted into the document. In the example in the image we
would be creating a 3x3 table.

2. The second option is by clicking Insert Table . A window opens allowing you to specify the number of
rows and columns for the table.

3. The third option is to use the Draw Table link. The cursor will take the shape of a pencil and we will
simply draw the lines that will form it. This option is slower, but can be very useful for creating irregular
tables or for touching up existing tables.
To retouch a table by drawing its edges we must stand on it. In this way we will see that we have a Table
Tools tab. In its Design tab > Borders group, we will find the tools that will help us give the desired design

to the table.

Exercise: Create table

In this exercise we will practice how to create a table to track our progress in the course.

1. Open Word. We will start from the blank document that is shown at the beginning.

2. Click the Insert tab and then the Table tool.

3. From the menu, select Insert Table .

4. Enter 3 in Number of columns and 25 in Number of rows and press OK . A new table will be
created in the document and the insertion point will be placed in the first one.

5. Write Topics .

7. Press the right arrow again and type Comments .

8. Click Save and call it Word Course Notes .

9. Close it.

Adjust the table

Q Alignment .

When we insert a table in our document it is important that we take into account its alignment
with respect to the page and with respect to the text that surrounds it.
To do this, we click anywhere in the table to access the Table Tools . In the Presentation tab >
Table group we will click on the Properties button.

1
faith Select +

H View grids

It's Properties
Board

Or we select Table Properties... from the table's context menu.

The window we see in the image will open.

Now simply click the appropriate icon to specify a Text Wrapping ( None or Around ) and an
Alignment ( Left , Center , or Right ).

• Freely move a table :

Another important aspect when we talk about adjusting a table to the context is being able to
move it. When you hover the mouse over the table surface, we will see an id icon appear in the
upper left corner. If we click on it and drag it we will be able to move the table.

• Adjust size :
Also when you hover the mouse over the surface of the table, we will see a □ icon in the lower
right corner. If we click on it and drag it, we can easily and visually modify the size of the table.
We must keep in mind that the system will always modify the height of the bottom edge and the
width of the right edge. In this way, its position will not vary, since the point that indicates the
position of the table is the upper left corner.
Combine and split

Sometimes we will not want to insert or delete cells, but rather combine them so that, for example, a
row contains a single cell that occupies the same size as the rest of the rows. Or to achieve the
completely opposite effect, that a cell is divided into two or more cells without affecting the rest.

1
To achieve this, we use the options on the Presentation tab > Combine group.
§ Combine cells.
E Split cells
E Split table

Combine

- The Merge Cells button will only be active if there is more than one cell selected in the table. This is
so, obviously, because first of all we must indicate which ones we want to combine.

- Split Cells will display a window where you can specify how many sections to split the selected cell
into. The previous example showed a division into two columns and a row, but we could have perfectly
done a horizontal division into two rows and a column.

- Finally, Split Table will separate the table into two, with the first row of the second table being the
one that is selected or with the insertion point.

10.7. Text alignment and direction

We previously talked about how to align the table with respect to the text around it and the margins of
the page. We are left to see the internal alignment of its own elements, that is, the alignment of the
content of the cells with respect to them.

___ ___ ___ Direction = Margins = = of cell text

We will do it from the Presentation tab > Alignment group. Alignment

- The first nine buttons represent each of the possible alignments , which are combinations of
horizontal (left, center, and right) and vertical (top, middle, and bottom) alignment. The only thing you
have to keep in mind, as always, is that the cells to which you want to apply the alignment are
previously selected.

In addition to text, cells support other types of content, such as images, photos, or shapes. These can
also be aligned and adjusted in the cell exactly as they would be if they were outside the table. If you
need to see it in detail you can visit the images and graphics unit where it is explained how to work with
these objects.

- With the Text Direction button, however, what we do is make the text appear in the direction
pointed by the arrows, which by default will be horizontal to the right (Western reading direction). The
possibilities are three:

1
- Finally, comment that from the Cell Margins button we can assign a fixed margin to the cells of the
entire table, as well as define the spacing between cells .

Select .
To select a cell, place the cursor just above the left side of the cell, and when the cursor takes the
shape of a small slanted black arrow, click and the cell will be colored.

To select a column, place the cursor just above the column, and when the cursor takes the shape
of a small black arrow pointing down, click and the column will be colored.

To select a row, do the same as to select a cell but double-click or also place the cursor to the
left of the row and click.

You can also select cells, rows and columns by clicking inside the cell and dragging along the
cells you want to select.

General Objective of the Module:

At the end of this learning module, participants will be able to create spreadsheets using
computer tools, adjusted to the needs, requirements and information given by the facilitator.

Learning objectives:

1. Prepare spreadsheet, according to assigned format.

2. Create formulas in a spreadsheet, according to instructions
3. Design graphics in a spreadsheet, according to the teacher's specifications
4. Select the spreadsheet configuration, according to requirements.

Spreadsheet:
A spreadsheet is a computer program or application that allows the manipulation of data, numbers
arranged in tables for the operation of complex accounting, finance and business calculations.

The spreadsheet is an application of traditional computer packages that is programmed to handle

numerical and alphanumeric data for the purpose of obtaining conclusions in accounting reports. The
possibilities of this type of application are immense, since it allows you to operate with complex
calculations, formulas, functions and create graphs of all kinds.

The origins of modern spreadsheets perhaps date back to the 1960s, when articles in specialized
magazines began to refer to the concept of "electronic spreadsheet." The first spreadsheet was created by
Dan Bricklin and was called VisiCalc.

Start Excel 2013

• Let's see the two basic ways to start Excel 2013.

- From the Home button , normally located in the lower left corner of the screen. When you click

in Home , we will go to a screen with a new menu. In order to find the Excel application

we must press the down arrow icon , located in the lower left corner.
Once this is done, we will see a new screen: the applications screen. It shows a list of all the applications
that we have installed on our computer. If the Excel icon does not appear on the screen, we must leave
the mouse pointer on the right side of the screen, which will cause the list of applications to scroll. We can
also use the horizontal scroll bar
that appears at the bottom of the screen to scroll until we find the Excel icon. A

once the icon is accompanied by the text Excel 2013 , we just have to click on it to open a
located
new excel sheet.

Enter text

In Excel, any group of characters that contains a letter, dash, or space is considered text. When
you enter text in a cell, Excel aligns it to the left side of the cell and if it exceeds the width of the
cell, the excess characters are displayed in the cells on the right while these other cells have no
content.

Illustration 9
Enter numbers
In Excel, a number can contain only the following characters: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + - ( ) . $ % E e .

If a cell contains any other character, including spaces, Excel considers it as text. When you

1
 assign numerical quantities to a cell, the characters are aligned to the right of the cell. The
opposite happens when we insert text.

Illustration 10

Modify the worksheet

Select cells
Before making any modification to the worksheet data, we will have to select the cell or group of

Create formulas
You can assign a formula to a cell and Excel calculates the result. A formula is a combination of
constant numbers, cell references, arithmetic operations, and/or functions whose result
appears in the cell where the formula is created.

Enter formulas using arithmetic operations

1. Select the cell where you will create the formula. This is where you will get the result (
Example: cell E3 ).
2. Enter the equals sign ( = ) to start developing a formula. In this case we will multiply Cost
per unit (cell C3) by the Quantity (cell D3) to calculate the Estimated Cost .
3. Select the cells and corresponding arithmetic operators (^ % * / + -) that will make up
the formula.
In this case, select cell C3, type the asterisk symbol (*), and then select cell D3.
4. Press [ENTER] to accept the change. You will be able to see that the result of the
multiplication of cell C3 and D3 is observed in the cell where we created the formula, cell
E3 . The formula will be displayed in the Formula Bar as follows: =C3*D3 .

Enter formulas using functions

A formula may include a predetermined computational function or task. The formulas are
divided into several categories. They can be accessed from the Formulas tab, in the Function
Library group.

To use a summation formula:

1. Select the cell that will contain the formula. This cell is where the result will be displayed.

 In this case, we want to get the total of the Quantity column, so we will select cell D9 .
2. On the Formulas tab, click the AutoSum category in the Function Library group and
select the AutoSum function.
3. You will notice that when you activate this function, Excel automatically develops the
formula and presents it in the cell for acceptance or rejection, marking with broken lines
the group of cells that will be added.
4. If the group of cells you want to add is correct, press the [ENTER] key, otherwise, you
must select the group of cells you want to add and then press the [ENTER] key to accept
the change.
5. If we activate cell D9 again, we will see =SUM(D3:D8) appear in the formula bar. This
formula indicates that a sum will be made of the values found in cells D3 through cell D8.

Copy formulas
Copying formulas allows you to reuse those that have already been generated. Repetitive
formulas are only created once and copied to the cells that are needed. It is recommended to
use the Fill Handle option of the cell that contains the formula and drag the ones that need it.

In this example, we will copy the Estimated Cost formula from cell E3 to cell E8 . For this:
1. Click the cell that has the formula ( Example: E3 ).
2. Click the cell's Fill Handle and drag to cell E8 .
You will notice that the formula was copied to all the cells where you dragged the Fill
Handle and Excel automatically carried out the corresponding calculations, making the
process easier for us.

Creation of graphs
Before creating a graph we must plan, identify what we want to represent in it and how we
want it to look. In this case, we will create a 3D column chart to represent the estimated cost by
expense type.
For this:
1. Select the area or data you will use to create the graph. Remember, if the data is not
adjacent, use the [Ctrl] key to select it.
2. Click the Insert tab, and from the Chart group, click the chart style you want to create
with the data you selected in Step 1 .

Illustration 27

Notice that the graph was created on the same sheet where you created the table. You can
move it, as if it were an image, clipart , textbox , shape or any other object.

If you want to move it to a separate sheet, simply click on the Design tab of Chart Tools (tabs
that appear when you select the chart) and in the Location group, click Move Chart . A dialog
box will appear offering you two options:
1. New sheet : Allows you to move the graph to a new sheet. It will occupy the entire sheet
and will be full size.
2. Object in: Gives you the option to leave it as an object within a particular spreadsheet. It
allows you to select the spreadsheet you want to place.

When you select the chart, a new tab will appear in the ribbon, titled Chart Tools . This contains
a series of functions that you can apply to the selected graph.
• Design: Allows you to change the type of graph, change the data group of the graph,
change the structure and even the style of the graph.
• Layout : Allows you to add a title, legend or describe each component of the graph.
• Format : Allows you to apply custom formatting to each item within the table. For
example, changing the color of a single column (double-click to select the desired
column).
