WORD PROCESSING/SPREADSHEET/PUBLISHING
WORD PROCESSING
Word processing is the process of adding text to a word
processing unit such as a computer or typewriter.
The term "word processing" is a fairly general term, so it may
refer to several types of writing without the use of pen and
paper.
for example,
Typewriters process words directly onto a paper without storing
the data, while computers use specific programs to store the
typed data before printing.
Typewriter
An electrical or mechanical device with keys that are pressed to
print letters or other characters one by one on a sheet of paper
inserted into the machine.
History of Typewriter
Christopher Sholes was an American mechanical engineer, born
on February 14, 1819 in Mooresburg, Pennsylvania. He invented
the first practical modern typewriter in 1866.
The Sholes typewriter had a type-bar system and the universal keyboard was
the machine's novelty, however, the keys jammed easily.To solve the
jamming problem, another business associate, James Densmore, suggested
splitting up keys for letters commonly used together to slow down typing.
This became today's standard "QWERTY" keyboard.
History of Typewriter
•George K. Anderson of Memphis,
Tennessee patented the typewriter ribbon
on 9/14/1886.
•In 1944, IBM designs the first typewriter
with proportional spacing.
•The first electric typewriter was the
Blickensderfer.
•PellegrineTarri made an early typewriter
that worked in 1801 and invented carbon
paper in 1808.
History of Typewriter
•In 1829,William Austin Burt invents the
typographer, a predecessor to the
typewriter.
•MarkTwain enjoyed and made use of new
inventions, he was the first author to submit
a typewritten manuscript to his publisher.
Types of Typewriter
ManualTypewriter - A mechanical
device operated by hand or your
physical strength rather than your

Electric Typewriter – a motor-driven
mechanism performs the actual work of
lifting the typebar and striking it
against the ribbon, and also of
returning the carriage to the right and
turning the platen at the end of the line.
COMPUTER
A programmable machine that receives inputs, stores and
manipulates data, and provides output in a useful format.
MICROSOFT WORD
Is an application software used to manipulate text, prepare

Ribbon, to view additional features within each group, click on
the arrow at the bottom right of each group.
TheTabs represent multiple sections of a dialog box. Only one
tab is displayed at a time, and each tab contains related options.

work
Proper Finger Positioning
Become a good typist is just
a matter of time, training
and practice. It does not
require any special skill.
Which Finger GoWhere
Each finger rests on a particular key in the home row of the keyboard when not
typing, in order to keep "grounded" and oriented at all times.The home keys (ASDF
JKL; ) are outlined in yellow on the above diagram.The thumbs remain in the air, or
very gently in contact with the keys below
Each finger is responsible for a vertical column of keys, which you can think of as a
"home column".The column is not straight up and down, but rather slopes up to the
left.
Which Finger GoWhere
Both index fingers are responsible for an additional column, the one next to their
home columns towards the middle of the keyboard.
The thumbs are used for the space bar, and depending on the shape of your keyboard
can also be used for the "command" (Apple computers) or "Windows" (PCs) key.
Which Finger GoWhere
The left-hand pinky is also responsible for all the keys to the left of its home column,
including the left shift key, caps lock, tab, tilde, escape and others.
The right-hand pinky is a real workhorse, covering everything to the right of its home
column.Take a look - there's a lot of stuff there!

The package was shipped from South Korea to Philippines via Express Mail Service
(EMS) on June 6, 2014. Unfortunately, it was held by customs for almost three
weeks. It was released on June 25, 2014, and was forwarded to the local post office
the next day.
The package is just a small box with four CD albums on it.The total declared value is
$39.39, and the shipping fee is $13. Insurance is not included.
Before I picked up this package from the
post office, I was already informed that I
need to bring money and pay duty
amounting to PHP1119.00 not including
the storage fee which is only PHP40.00
back then. It’s PHP50.00 now if my
memory serves me right.
The total dutiable amount the examiner
wrote in the informal entry form, to my
surprise, does not agree with the total
amount I spent. Using the amounts
provided above, the dutiable amount
should only be $52.39, but it went up to
$55.26. Where did the additional $2.87
come from?
