I. WHAT IS A COMPUTER?

An electronic device which is capable of receiving information (data)

in a particular form and of performing a sequence of operations in

accordance with a predetermined but variable set of procedural

instructions (program) to produce a result in the form of information

or signals. A computer is a general purpose device that can be

programmed to carry out a set of arithmetic or logical operations

automatically. Since a sequence of operations can be readily changed,

the computer can solve more than one kind of problem.

Conventionally, a computer consists of at least one processing

element, typically a central processing unit (CPU), and some form of

memory. The processing element carries out arithmetic and logic

operations, and a sequencing and control unit can change the order of

information to be retrieved from an external source, and the result of

operations saved and retrieved.

In World War II, mechanical analog computers were used for

specialized military applications. During this time the first electronic

digital computers were developed. Originally they were the size of a

large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern

personal computers (PCs).

Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions

of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction

of the space. Simple computers are small enough to fit into mobile

devices, and mobile computers can be powered by small batteries.

Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information

embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to

fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are the most

numerous.

II. ETYMOLOGY

The first use of the word “computer” was recorded in 1613 in a book

called “The yong mans gleanings” by English writer Richard

Braithwait I haue read the truest computer of Times, and the best

Arithmetician that euer breathed, and he reduceth thy dayes into a

short number. It referred to a person who carried out calculations, or

computations, and the word continued with the same meaning until









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________the middle of the 20th century. From the end of the 19th century the

word began to take on its more familiar meaning, a machine that

carries out computations.

III. HISTORY

Rudimentary calculating devices first appeared in antiquity and

mechanical calculating aids were invented in the 17th century. The

first recorded use of the word "computer" is also from the 17th

century, applied to human computers, people who performed

calculations, often as employment. The first computer devices were

conceived of in the 19th century, and only emerged in their modern

form in the 1940s.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculations

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_computers





it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Charles Babbage, an English mechanical engineer and polymath,

originated the concept of a programmable computer. Considered the

"father of the computer", he conceptualized and invented the first

mechanical computer in the early 19th century. After working on his

revolutionary difference engine, designed to aid in navigational

calculations, in 1833 he realized that a much more general design, an

Analytical Engine, was possible. The input of programs and data was

to be provided to the machine via punched cards, a method being used

at the time to direct mechanical looms such as the Jacquard loom. For

output, the machine would have a printer, a curve plotter and a bell.

The machine would also be able to punch numbers onto cards to be

read in later. The Engine incorporated an arithmetic logic unit, control

flow in the form of conditional branching and loops, and integrated









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________memory, making it the first design for a general-purpose computer

that could be described in modern terms as Turing-complete.

The machine was about a century ahead of its time. All the parts for

his machine had to be made by hand - this was a major problem for a

device with thousands of parts. Eventually, the project was dissolved

with the decision of the British Government to cease funding.

Babbage's failure to complete the analytical engine can be chiefly

attributed to difficulties not only of politics and financing, but also to

his desire to develop an increasingly sophisticated computer and to

move ahead faster than anyone else could follow. Nevertheless his

son, Henry Babbage, completed a simplified version of the analytical

engine's computing unit (the mill) in 1888. He gave a successful

demonstration of its use in computing tables in 1906.

IV. THE MODERN COMPUTER

The principle of the modern computer was first described by computer

scientist Alan Turing, who set out the idea in his seminal 1936 paper,

On Computable Numbers. Turing reformulated Kurt Gödel's 1931

results on the limits of proof and computation, replacing Gödel's

universal arithmetic-based formal language with the formal and

simple hypothetical devices that became known as Turing machines.

He proved that some such machine would be capable of performing

any conceivable mathematical computation if it were representable as

an algorithm. He went on to prove that there was no solution to the

Entscheidungsproblem by first showing that the halting problem for

Turing machines is undecidable: in general, it is not possible to decide

algorithmically whether a given Turing machine will ever halt.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________He also introduced the notion of a 'Universal Machine' (now known as

a Universal Turing machine), with the idea that such a machine could

perform the tasks of any other machine, or in other words, it is

provably capable of computing anything that is computable by

executing a program stored on tape, allowing the machine to be

programmable. Von Neumann acknowledged that the central concept

of the modern computer was due to this paper. Turing machines are to

this day a central object of study in theory of computation. Except for

the limitations imposed by their finite memory stores, modern

computers are said to be Turing-complete, which is to say, they have

algorithm execution capability equivalent to a universal Turing

machine.

V. PROGRAMS









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________The defining feature of modern computers which distinguishes them

from all other machines is that they can be programmed. That is to say

that some type of instructions (the program) can be given to the

computer and it will process them. Modern computers based on the

von Neumann architecture often have machine code in the form of an

imperative programming language.

BUGS

Errors in computer programs are called “bugs.” They may be benign

and not affect the usefulness of the program, or have only subtle

effects. But in some cases, they may cause the program or the entire

system to “hang,” becoming unresponsive to input such as mouse

clicks or keystrokes, to completely fail, or to crash. Otherwise benign

bugs may sometimes be harnessed for malicious intent by an





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_(computing)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_(computing)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_(computing)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bug





it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________unscrupulous user writing an exploit, code designed to take advantage

of a bug and disrupt a computer's proper execution. Bugs are usually

not the fault of the computer. Since computers merely execute the

instructions they are given, bugs are nearly always the result of

programmer error or an oversight made in the program's design.

VI. COMPONENTS

A general purpose computer has four main components: the arithmetic

logic unit (ALU), the control unit, the memory, and the input and

output devices (collectively termed I/O). These parts are

interconnected by buses, often made of groups of wires.

Inside each of these parts are thousands to trillions of small electrical

circuits which can be turned off or on by means of an electronic





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploit_(computer_security)





it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________switch. Each circuit represents a bit (binary digit) of information so

that when the circuit is on it represents a “1”, and when off it

represents a “0” (in positive logic representation). The circuits are

arranged in logic gates so that one or more of the circuits may control

the state of one or more of the other circuits.

Control Unit

The control unit (often called a control system or central controller)

manages the computer's various components; it reads and interprets

(decodes) the program instructions, transforming them into a series of

control signals which activate other parts of the computer.[49] Control

systems in advanced computers may change the order of some

instructions so as to improve performance.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer#cite_note-49





it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Arithmetic logic unit (ALU)

The ALU is capable of performing two classes of operations:

arithmetic and logic.

Memory

A computer's memory can be viewed as a list of cells into which

numbers can be placed or read. Each cell has a numbered “address”

and can store a single number. The computer can be instructed to “put

the number 123 into the cell numbered 1357” or to “add the number

that is in cell 1357 to the number that is in cell 2468 and put the

answer into cell 1595.” The information stored in memory may

represent practically anything. Letters, numbers, even computer

instructions can be placed into memory with equal ease. Since the









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________CPU does not differentiate between different types of information, it

is the software's responsibility to give significance to what the

memory sees as nothing but a series of numbers.

VII. HARDWARE & SOFTWARE

The term hardware refers to the physical components of your

computer such as the system unit, mouse, keyboard, monitor etc.

The software is the instructions that make the computer work.

Software is held either on your computer’s hard disk, CD-ROM, DVD

or on a diskette (floppy disk) and is loaded (i.e. copied) from the disk

into the computers RAM (Random Access Memory), as and when

required

Hardware Components










Input Devices

Output Devices

VIII. INPUT AND OUTPUT DEVICES

I/O is the means by which a computer exchanges information with the

outside world. Devices that provide input or output to the computer

are called peripherals. On a typical personal computer, peripherals

include input devices like the keyboard and mouse, and output devices

such as the display and printer. Hard disk drives, floppy disk drives

and optical disc drives serve as both input and output devices.

Computer networking is another form of I/O.

Mouse, keyboard, joystick, image scanner, webcam, graphics tablet,

microphone

Mouse (computing)

In computing, a mouse is an input device that detects two-

dimensional motion relative to a surface. This motion is typically

translated into the motion of a pointer on a display, which allows for

fine control of a graphical user interface.

Physically, a mouse consists of an object held in one's hand, with one

or more buttons. Mice often also feature other elements, such as touch

surfaces and "wheels", which enable additional control and

dimensional input.

Computer keyboard

In computing, a keyboard is a typewriter-style device, which uses an

arrangement of buttons or keys, to act as mechanical levers or

electronic switches. Following the decline of punch cards and paper

tape, interaction via teleprinter-style keyboards became the main input

device for computers.

Joystick

A joystick is an input device consisting of a stick that pivots on a base

and reports its angle or direction to the device it is controlling. A

joystick, also known as the control column, is the principal control

device in the cockpit of many civilian and military aircraft, either as a

control various aspects of the aircraft's flight.

Output Devices

Monitor, printer, loudspeaker

Computer monitor

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers.

The monitor comprises the display device, circuitry and an enclosure.

The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film

transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older

size.

Printer (computing)

In computing, a printer is a peripheral which makes a representation

of an electronic document on physical media. Individual printers are

designed to support local and network users at the same time. Some

printers can print documents stored on memory cards or from digital

cameras and scanners.

Computer speaker

Computer speakers, or multimedia speakers, are speakers external

to a computer that disable the lower fidelity built-in speaker. They

connection is a 3.5 mm (approximately 1/8 inch) stereo phone

connector often color-coded lime green (following the PC 99

standard) for computer sound cards. A few use a RCA connector for

input. There are also USB speakers which are powered from the 5

volts at 500 milliamps provided by the USB port, allowing about 2.5

watts of output power. Computer speakers were introduced by Altec

Lansing in 1990.

This model of the typical digital computer is often called the

von Neumann computer.

Programs and data are stored in the same memory: primary

memory.

The computer can only perform one instruction at a time.

IX. SOURCES OF DATA FOR THE COMPUTER

Two types of data stored within a computer:










Original data or information: Data being introduced to a

computing system for the first time.

Computers can deal directly with printed text, pictures, sound, and

other common types of information.

Previously stored data or information: Data that has already

been processed by a computer and is being stored for later use.

These are forms of binary data useful only to the computer.

Examples: Floppy disks, DVD disks, and music CDs.

X. SOFTWARE COMPONENTS

There are some software components that also help in the smooth

functioning of the computer system.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Following are the main Software Component that are used in the

computer:

Operating Software: These are the software with the help of

which the computer works. It loads automatically when one

start the computer. It makes the link between the Hardware and

other software of the computer.

Application Software: These are the software that are used to

process languages and access other applications being installed

in the computer. This includes Word Processors, Image

Processors and other.

Thus a computer only runs with the help of Software as well as

Hardware components being installed in the computer.










XI. MICROSOFT WORD

Microsoft Word is a word processor developed by Microsoft. It was

first released in 1983 under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________systems. Subsequent versions were later written for several other

platforms including IBM PCs running DOS (1983), Apple Macintosh

running Mac OS (1985), AT&T Unix PC (1985), Atari ST (1988),

SCO Unix (1994), OS/2 (1989), and Microsoft Windows (1989).

Commercial versions of Word are licensed as a standalone product or

as a component of Microsoft Office, Windows RT or the discontinued

Microsoft Works suite. Freeware editions of Word are Microsoft

Word Viewer and Office Online, both of which have limited features.

A full-featured word processing program for Windows and Mac OS X

from Microsoft. Available stand-alone or as part of the Microsoft

Office suite, Word contains rudimentary desktop publishing

capabilities and is the most widely used word processing program on









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________the market. Word files are commonly used as the format for sending

text documents via e-mail because almost every user with a computer

can read a Word document by using the Word application, a Word

viewer or a word processor that imports the Word format (see

Microsoft Word Viewer). Word 95 for Windows was the first 32-bit

version of the product, released with Office 95 around the same time

as Windows 95. It was a straightforward port of Word 6.0 and it

introduced few new features, one of them being red-squiggle

underlined spell-checking. Starting with Word 95, releases of Word

were named after the year of its release, instead of its version number.

XII. FILE EXTENSIONS

Microsoft Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or

.docx file extension.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows_95

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Word_Viewer





it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Although the .doc extension has been used in many different versions

of Word, it actually encompasses four distinct file formats:

The newer .docx extension signifies the Office Open XML

international standard for Office documents and is used by Word

2007, 2010 and 2013 for Windows, Word 2008 and 2011 for Mac OS

X, as well as by a growing number of applications from other vendors,

including OpenOffice.org Writer, an open source word processing

program.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_standard

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML





it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Microsoft Word is a word processing program that makes your job

easier. It will check your document for spelling and/or grammar errors

for you so that you can correct them, and makes it easier to replace

words or phrases through out your document at one time. It's much

faster and easier than the old method of using white out, or having to

retype the entire document on a typewriter!

XIII. BENEFITS

Microsoft Word contains many tools that the computer user can

utilize to make the creation of electronic documents easier. A

few of the most popular tools included are spell checker,

automatic grammar checking, extensive formatting tools and a

thesaurus.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Format

The latest version of Microsoft Word saves documents with

the .docx extension by default, but Word does have the option

to save documents in a variety of formats including .doc, .txt

and .rtf.

Security

Later versions of Microsoft Word contain integrated security

features such as password protection. It is also possible to

restrict what portion of a document -- if any -- can be edited by

anyone other than the author.

Composition and Editing










Microsoft Word allows users to type words, sentences and

paragraphs much like a typewriter. However, Microsoft Word

allows you to edit your words after typing them. For example,

you can correct spelling, grammar, change words, delete or add

words or even move entire blocks of text to other parts of the

document.

Formatting and Saving

Microsoft Word contains many features that will allow you to

format your text using boldface type, italics, underlining,

headers and footers, bullets and numbering. The program will

also allow you to save your document electronically to the

computer's hard drive so that the document can be re-opened at

a later date.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Printing

Microsoft Word can also help print your document. With Word,

you can select printing options, such as choosing the printer you

wish to print on or selecting how many copies of the document

you want to print.

XIV. HOW TO USE MSWORD

Switch on your computer and wait until a whole lot of picture symbols

appear with a Start button on the bottom left of the screen. Use the left

button on the mouse to click on the Start button. Then click on

programmes and then double-click on the MSWORD programme.

Some computers have a MSWORD symbol that will come up when









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________your computer is on and you do not have to go to start – simply

double click the left button of the mouse on the symbol.

The Microsoft word programme will appear on the screen.

There will be a blank screen called Document 1. Every thing you type

is called a document.

To start a new document (click on new) You can use the block

with a folder on it on the toolbar to do this more quickly. Use

your mouse to click on it.)

To open an old document (click on open) and then click on the

name of the document you want to open

To close a document. The computer will ask you if you want to

save it before you close it and then you click on Yes or No.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________If you press save, the document will be saved under its heading in the

general folder called My Documents. You can do this with the block

on the toolbar showing stiffy disk.

Save As allows you to save a document under a new name in the

folder of your choice. When you click on Save as, a new box will

open on screen. First go to the Save In square. It should say My

Page set up allows you to change the margins of the page so that you

can get more (or less) typing on a page.

Print preview allows you to see what the document will look like on

a printed page.

Print allows you to print the document if your computer is connected

to a printer.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________The last section says Exit. If you click on this the MSWORD

programme will shut down and you can return to Windows.

The Edit title

This section allows you to change or edit your work.

The most useful tools in the list are Cut, Copy and Paste.

Cut: this allows you to delete a section but not to throw it away

completely in case you need it later. Use your mouse and drag it over

the section you want to delete. Then go to Edit. Click Cut. If you want

to use it again you can add it in later or move it to another section.

You use the Paste command to move the section to a new place. Take

your cursor to where you want to place the section. Click on Edit.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Click Paste and the cut section will be pasted or put in this new place.

We call this Cutting and Pasting.

You can also Copy a section of your work and use it again. Highlight

the section with your mouse. Click on edit. Click on Copy. Then take

your cursor to the new place you want to put it. Click on Edit. Click

Paste and the section will be repeated.

The View title

When you type a document the view on screen is in Normal mode –

or as it appears on the screen. You can look at it in Layout (as it

would appear) printed or in other ways. A quick way of looking at

your page layout is to use the toolbar and click on the blank page with

a magnifying glass on it.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________The Insert title

This is useful for inserting Page Breaks (that is, beginning a new

page), page numbers, footnotes, pictures and so on.

You can also use this box to insert page numbers. Click on Page

Numbers and then click on OK. If you want to copy documents on

both sides of a page, it is best to put your page number in the middle

of the page at the bottom. To do this click on the box called

Alignment and then click on Centered.

The Format title

This is useful for layout or making your document look attractive.

There are various headings.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Font: This is the type of print or shape of print you are using. Your

MSWORD programme comes with a few options like Arial, New

Times Roman, Century Gothic and so on. You can set the font type

and the size of letters for a document before you start working.

Paragraph: The paragraph section allows you to change the margins

of a paragraph. It also allows you to change your line spacing to

single, or bigger.

Bullets and Numbers: Bullets allow you to mark points in different

ways, using dots, or arrows or blocks and so on. Highlight the section

you want to bullet and then click on Format, then on Bullets and

Numbering and then on the type of bullets you like.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Borders and shading: allows you to put a border around your whole

document or to put a box or border around a paragraph.

Columns: allow you to arrange your whole document into columns.

Change case: Sometimes one types in capitals by mistake.

The Tools title

This has a helpful button to check the spelling in your whole

document.

Miss-spelt words are underlined in red as you make the error. It is

quicker to correct all the errors at the end, rather than do them one by

one. You do this by going to Tools. Click on Spelling. The spell-









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________check will give you options – click on the correct spelling and the

click on Change.

The Table title

Insert Table allows you to make a new table. Click on the number of

lines and columns you need. You can change the numbers by clicking

on the little black arrows next to the number. Then click on OK..

The toolbar

Look at your toolbar. On the top left it will show the font and size in

white boxes. You can change your font and its size by clicking on the

arrows next to each and selecting what you want.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________These are a quick way for you to make some words or headings Bold

(B), to type some words in italics (I) or to underline them (U).










XV. MICROSOFT POWERPOINT

Microsoft PowerPoint is a slide-based presentation program

developed by Microsoft. It was officially launched on May 22, 1990,

as a part of the Microsoft Office suite.

The benefits of PowerPoint are continuously debated. The term

"PowerPoint hell" has been coined for long, tedious PowerPoint

presentations that bore the audience.

Originally designed for the Macintosh computer, the initial release

was called "Presenter", developed by Dennis Austin and Thomas





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Macintosh





it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Rudkin of Forethought, Inc. In 1987, it was renamed to "PowerPoint"

due to problems with trademarks, the idea for the name coming from

Robert Gaskins. In August of the same year, Forethought was bought

by Microsoft for $14 million USD ($29.1 million in present-day

terms), and became Microsoft's Graphics Business Unit, which

continued to develop the software further. PowerPoint was officially

launched on May 22, 1990, the same day that Microsoft released

Windows 3.0.

PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or

"slides". The "slide" analogy is a reference to the slide projector. A

better analogy would be the "foils" (or transparencies/plastic sheets)

that are shown with an overhead projector, although they are in

decline now. Slides may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and

other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can be





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forethought,_Inc.





it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the

command of the presenter. For larger audiences the computer display

is often projected using a video projector. Slides can also form the

basis of webcasts.

PowerPoint provides three types of movements:

1. Entrance, emphasis, and exit of elements on a slide itself are

controlled by what PowerPoint calls Custom Animations.

2. Transitions, on the other hand, are movements between slides.

These can be animated in a variety of ways.

3. Custom animation can be used to create small story boards by

animating pictures to enter, exit or move.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________PowerPoint provides numerous features that offer flexibility and the

ability to create a professional presentation. One of the features

provides the ability to create a presentation that includes music which

plays throughout the entire presentation or sound effects for particular

slides. In addition to the ability to add sound files, the presentation can

be designed to run, like a movie, on its own. PowerPoint allows the

user to record the slide show with narration and a laser pointer. The

user may customize slide shows to show the slides in a different order

than originally designed and to have slides appear multiple times.

Microsoft also offers the ability to broadcast the presentation to

specific users via a link and Windows Live.

XVI. USES AND FEATURES OF MICROSOFT

POWERPOINT









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Powerpoint is a very powerful program used to create and manipulate

slideshows. It is commonly used in advertising because of its wide

range of visual effects.

It's very easy to get started with Powerpoint by using the help file with

the program.

It is not hard to create a very simple powerpoint presentation with text

and some graphics. When you start to get better, the more powerful

features are very useful. These include the slide master, which allows

you to modify aspects of every slide including global copy/paste,

custom animation schemes, slide transitions, background effects and

interactive powerpoints with a system of links and buttons, where the

user chooses options.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Interactive powerpoints have anything from a button to move to the

next slide to a full compliment of hyperlinks that function like a

nested website.

The main features of Microsoft PowerPoint include having advanced

cropping tool and artistic filters such as blur, paintbrush as well as

watercolour. These features help in adding visual impact to the

presentations. The 2010 edition also has video styles and effects such

as 3-D rotation, reflections and bevels.

XVII.OPENING POWERPOINT

To open PowerPoint in Windows, click on the

Start button --> Programs --> Microsoft PowerPoint









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________OR

Double-click on the PowerPoint icon on the desktop

* If the tip of the day appears, click 'OK'

** If the Office Assistant appears, click on 'Start Using Microsoft

PowerPoint'

In PowerPoint 2000 you will see the following dialog, which gives

you the option to choose where to start from:










"AutoContent Wizard" walks you through a series of

questions about your presentation, letting you choose from a

variety of predetermined content themes, visual styles, and

formatting options. You can answer all of the questions or skip

some and click "Finish" at any time.

"Design Template" allows you to choose from various

background designs and slide styles to use throughout your

presentation. Clicking the various presentation options shows

thumbnail views of their designs. Click "OK" to choose one.

"Blank Presentation" starts you out with blank slides. This is

the default in the latest PowerPoint version (XP).










XVIII. PURPOSE OF USING POWER POINT

Function

A Microsoft PowerPoint presentation consists of a series of

user-created slides. PowerPoint has several templates to assist

with slide creation, or users may opt for a design of their own.

PowerPoint presentations can be displayed via most video

projectors and can be printed out as a takeaway for the

audience.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Features

Pictures, graphs, video and sound can all be integrated into a

Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. The most recent version,

PowerPoint 2010, also allows users to share PowerPoint

presentations over the Internet with its Broadcast Slide Show

feature.

Considerations

Microsoft PowerPoint is included in most recent versions of

Microsoft Office Suite. It also can be purchased as a standalone

product.










XIX. CREATE A POWERPOINT SLIDE SHOW

When beginning a new slide show, PowerPoint provides an array of

templates to choose from. Experienced users with a specific look in

mind can start with a blank presentation for setting attributes, such as

colors and fonts, to their own specifications. After creating the initial

file, the next step is to create a slide, which can be done by using an

auto layout, or a blank screen in order to add components manually.

You can then choose to add a combination of text and graphics to suit

the needs of the presentation, and apply animation to either of these

elements to create a dynamic effect. You can add as many slides and

make them as content-rich as your system can handle; there are no

limits imposed in the software itself.



















XX. EMAIL

Electronic mail, most commonly referred to as email or e-mail since

ca. 1993, is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author

to one or more recipients. Modern email operates across the Internet

or other computer networks. Some early email systems required that

the author and the recipient both be online at the same time, in

common with instant messaging. Today's email systems are based on

a store-and-forward model. Email servers accept, forward, deliver,

and store messages. Neither the users nor their computers are required

to be online simultaneously; they need connect only briefly, typically

to a mail server, for as long as it takes to send or receive messages.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Historically, the term electronic mail was used generically for any

electronic document transmission. For example, several writers in the

early 1970s used the term to describe fax document transmission. As a

result, it is difficult to find the first citation for the use of the term with

the more specific meaning it has today.

An Internet email message consists of three components, the message

envelope, the message header, and the message body. The message

header contains control information, including, minimally, an

originator's email address and one or more recipient addresses.

Usually descriptive information is also added, such as a subject header

field and a message submission date/time stamp.

Originally a text-only (ASCII) communications medium, Internet

email was extended to carry, e.g. text in other character sets, multi-









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________media content attachments, a process standardized in RFC 2045

through 2049. Collectively, these RFCs have come to be called

Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME). Subsequent RFC's

have proposed standards for internationalized email addresses using

UTF-8.

Electronic mail predates the inception of the Internet and was in fact a

crucial tool in creating it, but the history of modern, global Internet

email services reaches back to the early ARPANET. Standards for

encoding email messages were proposed as early as 1973 (RFC 561).

Conversion from ARPANET to the Internet in the early 1980s

produced the core of the current services. An email sent in the early

1970s looks quite similar to a basic text message sent on the Internet

today.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Network-based email was initially exchanged on the ARPANET in

extensions to the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), but is now carried by

the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), first published as Internet

standard 10 (RFC 821) in 1982. In the process of transporting email

messages between systems, SMTP communicates delivery parameters

using a message envelope separate from the message (header and

body) itself

XXI. ORIGIN

The AUTODIN network provided a message service between 1,350

terminals, handling 30 million messages per month, with an average

message length of approximately 3,000 characters. Autodin was

supported by 18 large computerized switches, and was connected to

System, which provided similar services to roughly 2,500 terminals.

XXII. WRITE AND SEND AN E-MAIL

After you have set up your e-mail account, you’ll want to write and

send an e-mail (or e-mails). Follow these steps to write and send e-

mails to your friends and family:

Open Windows Mail and click the Create Mail icon from the

program’s menu.

If you don’t see a Create Mail icon along the top, click the File menu,

select New, and choose Mail Message. A New Message window

appears.

it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________To send a quick e-mail to somebody in your Contacts folder, right-

click his or her name, choose Action, and select Send E-Mail.

Windows Mail opens an e-mail already addressed to that person,

saving you a step.

Type your friend’s e-mail address into the To box.

Or, click the To button next to where you type an address: A window

appears, listing the names of people listed in your Contacts folder.

Click your friend’s name, click the To button, and click OK.

Fill in the Subject box.

Although optional, the Subject line lets your friends know why you’re

bugging them. That makes it easier for your friends to sort their mail.









it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Type your message into the large box at the bottom of the

window.

Type whatever you want and for as long as you want. There’s very

little limit on the size of a text file.

To attach a file to your message, drag and drop the file onto the

message or click the paper clip icon, navigate to the file, and

double-click the file’s name to attach it.

Most ISPs balk at sending files larger than about 5MB, however,

which rules out most MP3 files and some digital photos.





http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/write-and-send-an-email.html#glossary-digital





it according to you and DONE!!! )___________________________________________________________Click the Send button in the box’s top-left corner.

No Send button? Then click File in the New Message window and

choose Send Message.
