Getting to know MS Word

MS Word is a word processing
application that allows you to create a
variety of documents like letters, flyers,
and reports. If you are new to Word, you
should first take some time to become
familiar with the Word 2013 interface.
When you open Word 2013 for the first
time, the Word Start Screen will appear.
From here, you'll be able to create a new
document, choose a template, or access
your recently edited documents.Word
2013 uses a tabbed Ribbon system
instead of traditional menus. The Ribbon
contains multiple tabs, each with several
groups of commands. You will use these
tabs to perform the most common tasks
in Word.
• The Home tab gives you access to some of the most commonly used commands for working
with Word 2013, including copying and pasting, formatting, aligning paragraphs, and
choosing document styles. The Home tab is selected by default whenever you open Word.

• The Insert tab allows you to insert pictures, charts, tables, shapes, cover pages, and more
to your document, which can help you communicate information visually and add style to
your document.
• The Design tab gives you access to a variety of design tools, including document
formatting, effects, and page borders, which can give your document a polished look.

• The Page Layout tab allows you to change the print formatting of your document,
including margin width, page orientation, and page breaks. These commands will be
especially helpful when preparing to print a document.
• The References tab allows you add annotations to your document, such as footnotes and
citations. From here, you can also add a table of contents, captions, and a bibliography.
These commands are especially helpful when composing academic papers.
• The View tab allows you to switch between different views for your document and split the
screen to view two parts of your document at once. These commands will also be helpful
when preparing to print a document.
• Contextual tabs will appear on the Ribbon when you're working with certain items, such as
tables and pictures. These tabs contain special command groups that can help you format
these items as needed.

Basic ribbon commands:-

Creating and Opening Documents:
To create a new blank document: Select the File tab🡪 Select New🡪 Then click Blank document. To
open an existing document: Select the File tab🡪 Click Open🡪 Select Computer 🡪 Then click Browse🡪
Locate and select your document, then click Open.
Saving Documents:
Word offers two ways to save a file: Save and Save As. To Save a file: Locate and select the Save
command on the Quick Access toolbar. If you're saving the file for the first time,the Save As pane will
appear. To save the document to your computer, select Computer 🡪 Click Browse and select location

your keyboard.
Text Basics:
Basic tasks include the ability to add, delete, and move text, as well as the ability to find and replace
specific words or phrases.
Formatting Text:
In Word, you have several options for adjusting the font of your text, including size, color, and
inserting special symbols. You can also bold, italic, underline, and adjust the alignment of the text to
change how it is displayed on the page.
Page Layout:
The page layout affects how content appears and includes the page's orientation, margins, and size.
Indents and Tabs:
Indenting text adds structure to your document by allowing you to separate information. Whether
you'd like to move a single line or an entire paragraph, you can use the tab selector and the horizontal
ruler to set tabs and indents.
Line and Paragraph Spacing:
As you design your document and make formatting decisions, you will need to consider line and
paragraph spacing. You can increase spacing to improve readability or reduce it to fit more text on
the page.

akistan, populous multiethnic country of South Asia. Having a

predominately Indo-Iranian speaking population, Pakistan has
historically and culturally been associated with its
neighbors Iran, Afghanistan, China and India. Since Pakistan achieved
independence from British rule on August 14, 1947, celebrated
as Independence Day, Pakistan has been distinguished from its larger
southeastern neighbor by its overwhelmingly Muslim population.

NEOLETHIC PERIOD:-

Some of the earliest relics of Stone Age man in

the subcontinent are found in the Soan Valley of
the Potohar region near Rawalpindi, with a
probable antiquity of about 500,000 years. No
human skeleton of such antiquity has yet been
discovered in the area, but the crude stone
implements recovered from the terraces of the
Soan carry the saga of human toil and labor in
this part of the world to the inter-glacial period. These Stone Age men
fashioned their implements in a sufficiently homogenous way to justify their
grouping in terms of a culture called the Soan Culture. About 3000 B.C,
amidst the rugged wind-swept valleys and foothills of Balochistan, small
village communities developed and began to take the first hesitant steps
towards civilization. Here, one finds a more continuous story of human
activity, though still in the Stone Age.

Tabligh of Islam:-
The first permanent Muslim foothold in the subcontinent was achieved
with Muhammad bin Qasim’s conquest of Sindh in 711 A.D. An
autonomous Muslim state linked with the Umayyad, and later, the Abbasid
Caliphate was established with jurisdiction extending over southern and
central parts of present Pakistan. Quite a few new cities were established
and Arabic was introduced as the official language. At the time of
Mahmud of Ghana’s invasion, Muslim rule still existed, though in a
weakened form, in Multan and some other regions. The Ghaznavids (976-

1148) and their successors, the Gauri’s (1148-1206), were Central Asian

by origin and they ruled their territories, which covered mostly the regions of
present Pakistan, from capitals outside India. It was in the early thirteenth century
that the foundations of the Muslim rule in India were laid with extended
boundaries and Delhi as the capital. From 1206 to 1526 A.D., five different
dynasties held sway. They followed the period of Mughal ascendancy (1526-1707)
and their rule continued, though nominally, till 1857. From the time of the
Ghaznavids, Persian more or less replaced Arabic as the official language. The
economic, political, and religious institutions developed by the Muslims bore their
unique impression. The law of the State was based on Sharia and in principle, the
rulers were bound to enforce it. Any long period of laxity was generally followed
by reinforcement of these laws under public pressure. The impact of Islam on the
South-Asian subcontinent was deep and far- reaching. Islam introduced not only a
new religion but a new civilization, a new way of life, and a new set of values.

Islamic traditions of art and literature, of culture and refinement, of social and
welfare institutions, were established by Muslim rulers throughout the
subcontinent. A new language, Urdu, derived mainly from Arabic and Persian
vocabulary and adopting indigenous words and idioms, came to be spoken and
written by the Muslims and it gained currency among the rest of the Indian
population. Territories, which covered mostly the regions of present Pakistan,
