Fundamentals of Computer: Hard copy attached herewith

MS-Word :
What Is Microsoft Word?
One of the most widely used programs of Microsoft Office suite, MS Word is a word
processor developed by Microsoft.

Features:
Home
This has options like font colour, font size, font style, alignment, bullets, line spacing, etc.
All the basic elements which one may need to edit their document is available under the
Home option
Insert
Tables, shapes, images, charts, graphs, header, footer, page number, etc. can all be entered
in the document. They are included in the “Insert” category.
Design
The template or the design in which you want your document to be created can be selected
under the Design tab. Choosing an appropriate tab will enhance the appearance of your
document.
Page Layout
Under the Page Layout tab comes options like margins, orientation, columns, lines,
indentation, spacing, etc.
References
This tab is the most useful for those who are creating a thesis or writing books or lengthy
documents. Options like citation, footnote, table of contents, caption, bibliography, etc. can
be found under this tab.
Review
Spell check, grammar, Thesaurus, word count, language, translation, comments, etc. can all
be tracked under the review tab. This acts as an advantage for those who get their
documents reviewed on MS Word.

Uses of MS-word:
In Education: It is considered as one of the simplest tools which can be used by both
teachers and students. Creating notes is easier using MS Word as they can be made more
interactive by adding shapes and images. It is also convenient to make assignments on MS
Word and submitting them online
In Workplace: Submitting letters, bills, creating reports, letterheads, sample documents,
can all easily be done using MS Word
Creating & Updating Resume: One of the best tools to create your resumes and is easy to
edit and make changes in it as per your experience
For Authors: Since separate options are available for bibliography, table of contents, etc., it
is the best tool which can be used by authors for writing books and adjusting it as per the
layout and alignment of your choice

What Is Microsoft MS-Excel?

MS Excel is a commonly used Microsoft Office application. It is a spreadsheet program
which is used to save and analyse numerical data.

Features:
Home
Comprises options like font size, font styles, font colour, background colour, alignment,
formatting options and styles, insertion and deletion of cells and editing options
Insert
Comprises of options like table format and style, inserting images and figures, adding
graphs, charts and sparklines, header and footer option, equation and symbols
Page Layout
Themes, orientation and page setup options are available under the page layout option
Formulas
Since tables with a large amount of data can be created in MS excel, under this feature, you
can add formulas to your table and get quicker solutions
Data
Adding external data (from the web), filtering options and data tools are available under this
category
Review
Proofreading can be done for an excel sheet (like spell check) in the review category and a
reader can add comments in this part
View
Different views in which we want the spreadsheet to be displayed can be edited here.
Options to zoom in and out and pane arrangement are available under this category

Uses of MS-excel:
Easy To Store Data: Since there is no limit to the amount of information that can be saved
in a spreadsheet, MS Excel is widely used to save data or to analyse data. Filtering
information in Excel is easy and convenient.
Easy To Recover Data: If the information is written on a piece of paper, finding it may
take longer, however, this is not the case with excel spreadsheets. Finding and recovering
data is easy.
Application of Mathematical Formulas: Doing calculations has become easier and less
time-taking with the formulas option in MS excel
More Secure: These spreadsheets can be password secured in a laptop or personal computer
and the probability of losing them is way lesser in comparison to data written in registers or
piece of paper.
Data at One Place: Earlier, data was to be kept in different files and registers when the
paperwork was done. Now, this has become convenient as more than one worksheet can be
added in a single MS Excel file.
Neater and Clearer Visibility of Information: When the data is saved in the form of a
table, analysing it becomes easier. Thus, information is a spreadsheet that is more readable
and understandable.

What is Microsoft MS-Powerpoint?

PowerPoint (PPT) is a powerful, easy-to-use presentation graphics software program that
allows you to create professional-looking electronic slide shows. Microsoft PowerPoint is a
software application that is particularly used to present data and information by using text,
diagrams with animation, images, and transitional effects, etc in the form of slides. It helps
people to better understand the idea or topic in front of the audience practically and easily.

Features:
Slide Layout
Multiple options and layouts are available based on which a presentation can be created.
This option is available under the “Home” section and one can select from the multiple
layout options provided.
Insert – Clipart, Video, Audio, etc.
Under the “Insert” category, multiple options are available where one can choose what
feature they want to insert in their presentation. This may include images, audio, video,
header, footer, symbols, shapes, etc.
Slide Design
MS PowerPoint has various themes using which background colour and designs or textures
can be added to a slide. This makes the presentation more colourful and attracts the attention
of the people looking at it.
This feature can be added using the “Design” category mentioned on the homepage of MS
PowerPoint. Although there are existing design templates available, in case someone wants
to add some new texture or colour, the option to customise the design is also available.
Apart from this, slide designs can also be downloaded online.
Animations
During the slide show, the slides appear on the screen one after the other. In case, one wants
to add some animations to the way in which a slide presents itself, they can refer to the
“Animations” category.

Uses of MS-power point

Education – With e-learning and smart classes being chosen as a common mode of
education today, PowerPoint presentations can help in making education more interactive
and attract students towards the modified version of studying
Marketing – In the field of marketing, PowerPoint presentations can be extremely
important. Using graphs and charts, numbers can be shown more evidently and clearly
which may be ignored by the viewer if being read
Business – To invite investors or to show the increase or decrease in profits, MS
 PowerPoint can be used
Creating Resumes – Digital resumes can be formed using MS PowerPoint. Different
patterns, photograph, etc. can be added to the resume
Depicting Growth – Since both graphics and text can be added in a presentation, depicting
the growth of a company, business, student’s marks, etc. is easier using PPT
