Word Processing

 

 

We've done a few things in Word back in Digital Literacy. However, only now have we begun to learn the true features of Microsoft Word. Moving pictures, splitting columns, drawing signatures, creating numbered lists and inserting tables were just the start. Soon we would learn to create attractive yet formal and simple yet stylish reports.

Computer Terms -Ver 2.0

 

Did you know that text can be wrapped around images? It was a feature that I didn't know existed in Word before. Well, it sure did make my life a lot easier. 

 

Remember that Computer Term definitions thing I did back in Digital Literacy? Well it's edited. To perfection. With the addition of images and columns, the document in general is a lot more attractive than before.

Spyware -Ver 2.0

 

Yet another edited version of an activity made back in Digital Literacy, the obvious differences highlight the drastic changes from our efforts then compared to now. Looks and style are very important in our modern day lives -many first impressions are judged through appearance alone.

 

Additions of a border and bullet point style are the main changes in this activity.
