 What’s New

Computers are powerful machines that can provide a vast array of tasks you can do
like word processing, making spreadsheets, creating presentations and desktop publishing.
Past modules provided you ideas about application softwares and file management
systems. Application softwares are softwares that help end-users to perform different tasks.
File management systems, on other hand, provides an overview on how files are managed
and the file formats structure of how information is stored (encoded) in a computer file
Directions: Below are some terminologies that refer to the different application softwares, its
uses and file formats. Arrange these words in the flow chart as seen in Figure 1
below. The words related to WORD PROCESSING must be included. Write your
answer on a separate sheet of paper. Remember that other words only serve as

 What is It

WHAT IS WORD PROCESING?

Word processing is a computer task that lets the user to create, display, edit, save
and print documents. It is commonly utilized in order to make letters, documents, resumes,

Save Save As
• Save means saving an • Save as can be any of the following properties:
updated copy of the - creating a new file and/or,;
document the user is - saving the file into new location and/or;
working on. - renaming the document and/or;
• Quickly saves a file - saving it into a new file format.

1. Click File Tab and look for Save. This will let 1
the user access the backstage view.
2. If the document is being saved for the first time,
clicking Save will make the Microsoft Word

PAGLALANGGAS
Noel Sales Barcelona

Sugat sa puso ni Inang Daigdig

Na dulot nang labis na pagkaganid
Mawawala lamang ang naknak at sakit
Kung lalanggasin ng pagkalinga’t pag-ibig.

Bawat pagmamalabis, bunga ay kakulangan;

Bawat pagkukulang, ariing kasalanan;
Walang hustisyang iginawad, nang walang babayaran
Walang buhay na inutang, na buhay din ang kabayaran!

Kaya ang paglalangas, sa puso ni Ina

Ay hindi bukas, o kaya sa makalawa
Ikaw na matalino, nagsasabing pantas ka—
Dapat mong mapagkuro ang panaho’y ngayon na!
