2 DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is Text Processing? A Text processor (more formally known as document preparation systemor word processor) is a computer application used for composition, editing, formatting, and possibly printing of any document with even graphics. Microsoft Word is the most widely used computer word processing system. There are also many other commercial word processing applications namely Word Perfect which are used to type and format documents, such as letters, reports, and books.f unctions, including the capability to create, edit, merge, and format text.

3 Why Text Processing? You can select a particular area and do formatting like copy paste. You can get the unchanged document after simply pressing the Undo button. You can change Font(ie. style of writing), size,style of text etc. You can change your text to bold,italicized and/or underlined. You can change font background as well as Font color. Common Features Of Word Processing Undo Get the unchanged document even after changing it (undo). Cut Allows you to remove (cut) a section of text from one place in a document. Copy Allows you to duplicate a section of text. Paste insert (paste) selected text you copied to somewhere else. 1.Undo Why Undo? To get back the original document after changing it. Example See the picture below. Now i wrote this.

4 Oops! I did a mistake. It should be I eat both fruits and ice cream as in the previous picture. Now what to do? See below how i am changing it not by deleting the text. Click on Edit Menu. Select Undo and click it. The previous text will reappear. 2.Cut Cut means to move a section of text from a document to a temporary buffer. This is one way to delete text. However, because the text is transferred to a buffer, it is not lost forever. You can copy the buffer somewhere else in the document or in another document, which is called pasting. To move a section of text from one place to another, therefore, you need to first cut it and then paste it. This is often called cut and paste.

5 I don't want to write my surname. So what to do? See how I have selected the surname. Now follow the steps given below to cut it. Click on Edit Menu. Select cut option and Click it.

6 3.Copy Paste To copy a piece of data to a temporary location. In Word Processing, for example,copying refers to duplicating a section of a document and placing it in a buffer(sometimes called Clipboard). The term copy differs from cut, which refers to actually removing a section of document and placing it in a buffer. After cutting or copying, you can move the contents of the buffer by pasting it somewhere else. Steps for copy paste 1. Select the text that you want to copy. 2. Click on Edit Menu,then select Copy option from the drop down. 3. Move the cursor to the place where you want to paste it (by clicking that place) 4. Again go to Edit Menu and select paste option. 4. Font The text can also be modified by changing the Font. A font is the shape and size of a character of text. The three main Style are Bold, Italic and Underline.

7 Steps for Font Formatting Select the text whose Size and type has to be changed. Go to for mat and then Character. Here we can change the size and Type of the selected Text. OR Just right click on selected text and there you get the style and type option. Shortcuts for Text formatting Command On Tool bar/formatting bar UNDO > COPY > ` (Ctrl+z) (Ctrl+c)

8 CUT > (Ctrl+x) PASTE > (Ctrl+v) FONT SIZE > FONT STYLE > (BOLD) (ITALIC) (UNDERLINE)
