Advanced Word Processing Skills, What is word processor?

In the professional world, sending out information to convey important


information is vital. Because of ICT, things are now sent much faster than the
traditional newsletters or postal mail. You can now send much faster than the
traditional newsletters or postal mail. You can now use the Internet to send out
information you need to share. What if we could still do things much faster – an
automated way of creating and sending uniform letters with different
recipients? Would that not be more convenient?
WORD PROCESSOR is an electronic device or computer software application
that performs the task of composing, editing, formatting, and printing of
documents

I. Mail Merge and Label Generation


A. Mail Merge
          One of the important reasons in using computers per se is its ability to do
recurring tasks automatically. But this ability has to be honed by learning the
characteristics and features of the software you use with your computer. After
all, no matter how good or advance your computer and software may be, it can
only be as good as the person using it.
          In this particular part of our lesson, we will learn one of the most
powerful and commonly used features of Microsoft Word called Mail Merge. As

LSPU SELF-PACED LEARNING MODULE: Empowerment to Technology


Republic of the Philippines
Laguna State Polytechnic University
Province of Laguna

the name suggests, this feature allows you to create documents and combine or
merge them with another document or data file. It is commonly used when
sending
ISO 9001:2015 out advertising materials to various recipients.
Certified

           The simplest solution for the scenario above is to create a document and
Level I Institutionally Accredited
just copy and paste it several times then just replace the details depending on
whom you send it to. But what if you have hundreds or thousands of
recipients? Would not that take too many hours? What if you have a small
database of information where you can automatically generate those letters?

Two Components of Mail Merge


1. Form Document
          The first component of our mail merged document is the form document.
It is generally the document that contains the main body of the message we
want to convey or send. The main body of the message is the part of the form
document that remains the same no matter whom you send it to from among
your list.
           Also included in the form document is what we call place holders, also
referred to as data fields or merge fields. This marks the position on your form

LSPU SELF-PACED LEARNING MODULE: Empowerment to Technology


Republic of the Philippines
Laguna State Polytechnic University
Province of Laguna

document where individual data or information will be inserted. From our


sample document, the place holders are denoted or marked by the text with
double-headed
ISO 9001:2015 Certified arrows (<< >>) on each side and with a gray background. On a

printed standard form, this will be the underlined spaces that you will see and
Level I Institutionally Accredited
use as a guide to where you need to write the information that you need to fill
out. In its simplest form, a form document is literally a “form” that you fill out
with individual information. A common example of a form document is your
regular tax form or application form.

2. List or Data File


           The second component of our mail merged document is the list or data
file. This is where the individual information or data that needs to be plugged
in (merged) to the form document is placed and maintained. One of the best
things about the mail merge feature is that it allows data file to be created fro
within the Microsoft Word application itself, or it gets data from a file created
in Microsoft Excel or other data formats. In this way, fields that needed to be
filled up on the form document can easily be maintained without accidentally
altering the form or main document. You can also easily add, remove, modify,
or extract your data more efficiently by using other data management
applications like Excel or Access and import them in Word during the mail
merge process.

Level I Institutionally Accredited

B. Label Generation
            Included in the mail merge feature on Microsoft Word is the Label
Generator. It just makes sense that after you print out your form letters, you
will need to send it to individual recipients in an envelope with the matching
address printed directly on the envelope or on a mailing label to stick on. By
using virtually the same process as a standard mail merge, Microsoft Word will
print individual addresses to a standard form that it has already pre-formatted.
Simply put, it creates a blank form document that simulates either a blank label
or envelope of pre-defined size and will use the data file that you selected to
print the information, typically individual addresses. So even in generating
labels, the two essential components of creating a merged document are
present: the form document and the data file. Only in this case, you did not have
to type or create the form document yourself because it was already created
and pre-formatted in Microsoft Word. All you need to do is select the correct or
appropriate size for the label or envelope and select the data file that contains
the addresses (data) to be printed. You can also preview your merged labels
before printing if you want to.

II.  Integrating Images and External Materials


           Integrating or inserting pictures in your document is fun and it improves
the impression of your document. A common use of inserting a picture on a
document is when you are creating your resume. Though seemingly simple to
do, your knowledge on the different kinds of materials that you can insert or
integrate in a Word document and its characteristics can help you create a
more efficient, richer document not only in content but also in physical form. A
better understanding of the physical form of your document as well as the
different materials you would integrate in it would allow you to be more
efficient and versatile in using Microsoft Word.
A. Kinds of Materials
           There are various kinds of materials Microsoft Word is capable of
integrating to make the documents richer, more impressive, and more
informative.
1. Pictures
          Generally, these are electronic or digital pictures or photographs you have
saved in any local storage device. There are three commonly used types of
picture files. You can identify them by the extension on their file names.

LSPU SELF-PACED LEARNING MODULE: Empowerment to Technology


Republic of the Philippines
Laguna State Polytechnic University
Province of Laguna

ISO 9001:2015 Certified

Level I Institutionally Accredited

a. .JPG/JPEG
          This is pronounced as “jay-peg“ and is the short form of .jpeg or Joint
Photographic Experts Group. Like all the rest of the image file extensions, it
identifies the kind of data compression process that it uses to make it more
compatible and portable through the Internet. This type of image file can
support 16.7 million colors that is why it is suitable for use when working with
full color photographic images. Unfortunately, it does not support transparency
and therefore, images of this file type can be difficult to integrate in terms of
blending with other materials or elements in your document. But if you are
looking for the best quality image to integrate with your document then this is
the image file type for you. .JPG does not work well on lettering, line drawings,
or simple graphics. .JPG images are relatively small in file size.
b. .GIF
          This stands for Graphics Interchange Format. This type of image file is
capable of displaying transparencies. Therefore, it is good for blending with
other materials or elements in your document. It is also capable of displaying
simple animation. Apparently, this may not be too useful on a printed
document but if you are sending documents electronically or through email, or
even post documents into a website, then this could be quite impressive. The
downside is that it can only support up to 256 colors so it is good mostly on
logos and art decors with very limited, and generally solid colors. .GIF is much
better for logos, drawings, small text, black and white images, or low-resolution
files.
c. .PNG 
           This is pronounced as “ping“. It stands for Portable Network Graphics. It
was built around the capabilities of .GIF. Its development was basically for the
purpose of transporting images on the Internet at faster rates. It is also good
with transparencies but unlike .GIFs, it does not support animation but it can

LSPU SELF-PACED LEARNING MODULE: Empowerment to Technology


Republic of the Philippines
Laguna State Polytechnic University
Province of Laguna

display up to 16 million colors, so image quality for this image file type is also
remarkably improved. .PNG allows the control of the transparency level or
opacity
ISO 9001:2015of images.
Certified

2.  Clip Art


Level I Institutionally Accredited
          This is generally a .GIF type; line art drawings or images used as generic
representation for ideas and objects that you might want to integrate in your
document. Microsoft Word has a library of clip arts that is built in or can be
downloaded and used freely. There are still other clip arts that you can either
purchase or freely download and use that come from third-party providers.

3.  Shapes
          These are printable objects or materials that you can integrate in your
document to enhance its appearance or allow you to have some tools to use for
composing and representing ideas or messages. If you are designing the layout
for a poster or other graphic material for advertising, you might find this useful.

4. Smart Art
          Generally, these are predefined sets of different shapes grouped together
to form ideas that are organizational or structural in nature. If you want to

LSPU SELF-PACED LEARNING MODULE: Empowerment to Technology


Republic of the Philippines
Laguna State Polytechnic University
Province of Laguna

graphically represent an organization, process, relationships, or flow for


infographic documents, then you will find this easy and handy to use.
5.  Chart
ISO 9001:2015 Certified

Another type of material that you can integrate in your Word document that
Level I Institutionally Accredited
allows you to represent data characteristics and trends. This is quite useful
when you are preparing reports that correlate and present data in a graphical
manner. You can create charts that can be integrate in your document either
directly in Microsoft Word or imported from external files like Microsoft Excel.

6. Screenshot
Sometimes, creating reports or manuals for training or procedures will require
the integration of a more realistic image of what you are discussing on your
report or manual. Nothing can get you a more realistic image than a screenshot.
Microsoft Word even provides a snipping tool for your screen shots so you can
select and display only the part that you exactly like to capture on your screen.

III. Image Placement

Republic of the Philippines
Laguna State Polytechnic University
Province of Laguna

ISO 9001:2015 Certified

Level I Institutionally Accredited

A. In Line with Text


This is the default setting for images that are inserted or integrated in your
document. It treats your image like a text font with the bottom side totally
aligned with the text line. This setting is usually used when you need to place
your image at the beginning of a paragraph. When placed between texts in a
paragraph or a sentence, it distorts the overall appearance and arrangement of
the texts in the paragraph because it will take up the space it needs vertically,
pushing whole lines of texts upward.
B. Square
This setting allows the image you inserted to be placed anywhere with the
paragraph with the text going around the image in a square pattern like frame.
C. Tight
This is almost the same as the Square setting, but here the text “hug” or
conforms to the general shape of the image. This allows you to get a more
creative effect on your document. This setting can mostly be achieved if you are
using an image that supports transparency like a .GIF or .PNG file.
D. Through
This setting allows the text on your document to flow even tighter taking the
contours and shape of the image. Again, this can be best used with .GIF or .PNG
type of image.
E. Top and Bottom
This setting pushes the texts away vertically to the top and/or the bottom of
the image so that the image occupies a whole text line on its own.
F. Behind Text
This allows your image to be dragged and placed anywhere on your document
but with all the texts floating in front of it. It effectively makes your image look

LSPU SELF-PACED LEARNING MODULE: Empowerment to Technology


Republic of the Philippines
Laguna State Polytechnic University
Province of Laguna

like a background.
G. In Front of Text
As9001:2015
ISO it suggests,Certified this setting allows your image to be placed right on top of the

text as if your image was dropped right on it. That means whatever part of the
Level I Institutionally Accredited
text you placed the image on, it will be covered by the image.

Advanced Presentation Skills

PowerPoint is a highly innovative and versatile program that can ensure a


ISO 9001:2015 Certified

successful communication whether you’re presenting in front of potential


Level I Institutionally Accredited
investors, a lecture theatre or simply in front of your colleagues. The following
are the five features you should be using-if you aren’t already. Learn everything
about these tips: they will improve your presentation skills and allow you to
communicate your message successfully. The five features of PowerPoint was
1)adding smart art
2)Inserting Shapes
3)Inserting and Image
4)Slide Transitions
5)Adding Animations
Creating an Effective Presentation
1. Minimize: Keep slides counts to a minimum to maintain a clear message and
to keep the audience attentive. Remember that the presentation is just a visual
aid. Most information should still come from the reporter.
2.Clarity: Avoid being to fancy by using font style that is easy to read. Make
sure that it is also big enough to be read by the audience. Once you start making
your presentation, consider how big the screen is during your report.
3.Simplicity: Use bullets or short sentences. Summarize the information on the
screen to have your audience focus on what the speaker is saying than on
reading the slide. Limit the content to six lines and seven words per line. This is
known as the 6 x 7 rule.
4. Visual: Use graphics to help in your presentation but not too many to
distract the audience. In addition, instead of using table of data, use charts and
graphs.
5. Consistency: Make your design uniform. Avoid having different font styles
and backgrounds.
6. Contrast: Use a light font on dark background or vice versa. This is done so
that it is easier to read. In most instances, it is easier to read on screen if the
background is dark. This is due to the brightness of the screen.
Imaging and Design for Online Environment

PHOTO EDITING
 Photo editing encompasses the processes of altering images, whether
they are digital photographs, traditional photo chemical photographs, or
illustrations. Traditional analog image editing is known as photo retouching,
using tools such as an airbrush to modify photographs, or editing illustrations
with any traditional art medium.

Graphic software programs


 Which can be broadly grouped into vector graphics editors, raster
graphics editors, and 3D modelers are the primary tools with which a user may

manipulate, enhance, and transform images. Many image editing programs are
also used to render or create computer art from scratch.

1. RASTER IMAGESare stored in a computer in the form of a grid of


Level I Institutionally Accredited
picture elements or pixels.
2. VECTOR IMAGESsuch as Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape and etc. are used
to create and modify vector images, which are stored as descriptions of
lines, Bezier curves and text instead of pixels.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RASTER AND VECTOR IMAGES

RASTER IMAGESuse many colored pixels or individual building blocks to


form a complete image JPEGs, GIFs and PNGs are common raster image
types. Almost all of the photos found on the web and in print catalogs are
raster images.
 VECTOR IMAGES alternatively, allow for more flexibility. Constructed
using mathematical formulas rather than individual colored blocks, vector
file types such as EPS, AI and PDF are excellent for creating graphics that
frequently require resizing.
3. 3D MODELING (OR MODELLING) is the process of developing a
mathematical representation of any three dimensional surface of an object
via specialized software. The product is called a 3D model. It can be
displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D
rendering or used in a computer simulation or physical phenomena. The
model can also be physically created using 3D printing devices.

IMAGE SIZE resize images in a process often called image scaling, making them
larger, or smaller. High image resolution cameras can produce large images
which are often reduced in size for Internet use.
CROPPING creates a new image by selecting a desired rectangular portion
from the image being cropped. The unwanted part of the image is discarded.
Image cropping does not reduce the resolution of the area cropped.

CLONING uses the current brush to copy from an image or pattern. It has many
uses: one of the most important is to repair problem areas in digital photos.
IMAGE ORIENTATION – Image editors are capable of altering an image to be
rotated in any direction and to any degree. Mirror images can be created and
images can be horizontally flipped or vertically flopped. Rotated image usually
require cropping afterwards, in order to remove the resulting gaps at the image
edges.

PERSPECTIVE – is the art of drawing solid objects on a two- dimensional


surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth and
position in relation to each other when viewed from a particular point.

SHARPENING AND SOFTENING– Sharpening makes images clearer. Too much


sharpening causes grains on the surface of the image. Softening makes images
softer that removes some of the highly visible flaws. Too much causes the
image to blur.

SATURATION- is an expression for the relative bandwidth of the visible output


from a light source. As saturation increase, colors appear more “pure.’’ As
saturation decreases, colors appear more ‘’ washed-out.’’

CONTRAST AND BRIGHTENING


Contrast of images and brighten or darken the image. Underexposed images
can be often be improved by using this feature.
Brightening lightens the image so the photo brightens up. Brightness is a
relative expression of the intensity of the energy output of a visible light
source.
Adjusting contrast means adjusting brightness because they work together to
make a better image.
