III. Long Answer Type Questions
Question 1.
What do you mean by word processor? What are the facilities that are available in word processor?
Answer:
A word processor is a computer software application, that performs the task of composition, editing, formatting, printing of documents.
The word processor was a stand-alone office machine in the 1960s, combining the keyboard text-entry and printing functions of an electric typewriter, with a recording unit, either tape or floppy disk (as used by the Wang machine) with a simple dedicated computer processor for the editing of text. Although, features and designs varied among manufacturers and models, and new features were added as technology advanced, word processors typically featured a monochrome display and the ability to save documents on memory cards or diskettes. Later, models introduced with innovations such as spell-checking programs, and improved formatting options.

Question 6.
What is mail-merge ? How to perform mail-merge?
Answer:
Mail merge is a tool which allows you to create letters, mailing labels, and envelopes by linking a main (common) document to a set of data or data source. The main document is linked to the data source by common fields of data, called merge fields. You can create your own merge fields, specific to your data source, or you can use a predefined set provided by Word.
For example, in a letter, your main document would be the letter informing the person they have won money, or their car is due in for an oil change. The data source is where the fields of information on each client receiving the letter are located. The data source would contain names, addresses, account numbers, date of last service, etc.
If you were printing envelopes or address labels, the main document would be the envelopes or the sheet with labels on it; the data source would be the addresses that are to be placed on these envelopes or labels of sheets.
(i) The mail merge process entails the following overall steps:
- Set up the main document. The main document contains the text and graphics that are the same for each version of the merged document — for example, the return address in a letter.
- Connect the document to a data source. A data source is a file that contains the information to be merged into a document. For example, the names and addresses of the recipients of a letter.
- Refine the list of recipients or items. Microsoft Word generates a copy of the main document for each recipient or item in your data file. If you want to generate copies for only certain items in your data file, you can choose which items (or records) to include.
- Add placeholders, called mail merge fields, to the document. When you perform the mail merge, the mail merge fields are filled with information from your data file.
- Preview, change individual documents, and complete the merge. You can preview each copy of the document before you print the whole set. And you can change individual copies of the document.

Question 8.
How to create presentation using Auto Content Wizard?
Answer:

Question 9.
Difference between Title, subtitle and text in respect of new’ slide in presentation. How can we change colour?
Answer:
Within Power Point slides, text can be found in many places– however, the text within a text placeholder has characteristics that set it a class apart from all other text. Figure, which shows you what exactly a text placeholder is within a Power Point slide. Also note that only text content within the placeholders is part of the presentation’s outline.
Let’s explore which text shows up as a part of the outline in various Slide Layouts, as marked in Figure, above:
(i) In a slide that contains a title and subtitle, text contents of both placeholders comprise the outline.
(ii) In a slide that contains a title and content placeholder (Text, Table, Chart, SmartArt, Picture, Online Picture, Other Media Elements), the outline comprises just the text — and not the tables, charts, SmartArt graphics, etc.
(iii) In a slide that has only a title, the outline comprises just the title,
(iv) In a slide that contains a title and and two content placeholders (Text, Table, Chart, SmartArt, Picture, Online Picture, Other Media Elements), the outline comprises just the text within all placeholders.
If your slide has the Blank layout that has no text placeholders — then any text within that slide is not contained within the presentation’s outline.
To understand the difference more clearly, follow these steps:
- Launch PowerPoint, and create a Blank Presentation as shown in Figure.
- Type some text into the boxes that say: “Click to add title”, and “Click to add subtitle” (see Figure). These boxes are text placeholders that PowerPoint provides as boilerplates to fill in.
- Now, access the View tab of the Ribbon and click the Outline View button, as shown highlighted in red within Figure.
Figure: Outline View button
- You’ll notice that the text you type within both the placeholders showed up within the Outline view, as shown highlighted in red within Figure.
Figure: Outline view shows the text content of both the placeholders
- Access the Insert tab of the Ribbon, and click the Text Box button (highlighted in red within Figure.
Figure: Text Box button
- Now, drag and draw a text box on the slide, and type something within this text box. Notice that anything you type within the text box does not show within the Outline view (see Figure). The text typed with the placeholders only can be seen in Outline view. The text within the text boxes doesn’t shows up in the Outline view.
Figure: Text typed within text boxes does not show in the Outline view
Question 10.
