Practical Tasks

Activity 1 – Manipulating Text

1. Create a new document in Microsoft Word2. Type the document below3. Save the document as “Australian Made” to the desk top4. Use the selection tool to select the word aussieBum and format with a single underline, Small Caps

and bold font.5. Centre the entire article6. Give the article a centred and Italic Heading – Australian Made7. Add a Header with your name 8. Save the document as “E-Portfolio”

The Australian Made campaign, which promotes Australian made or grown items, has reported a huge spike in consumer enquiries and now has more than 10,000 products listed on its website.

Meanwhile, Sean Ashby, founder of the underwear group aussieBum, told ninemsn that he has received hundreds of emails from customers supporting his company in the last few months, and is altering his brand to meet the new, broader demand.

The cheeky under and swimwear line, which is one of the country’s largest exporters of 100 percent Australian made fashion, ships 10,000 items a week from its three factories in Australia, and has seen sales at home jump 30 percent since the Pacific Brands backlash.

However, Mr Ashby has vehemently rubbished her claims. "I’m pissed off that companies are using the recession as an excuse to lay off staff and move operations to China," he told ninemsn.

"Why is it that I’m a multi-millionaire?" he said. "I'm sorry to sound arrogant, but it's stupid - companies are blaming the common Aussie for not supporting them – but it's their own shortcomings and poor management errors that are costing them."

Since last year, aussieBum has seen its net profit rise 40 percent to a turnover of $21 million.

Word ProcessingA word processor (more formally known as document preparation system) is a computer application used for the production (including composition, editing, formatting, and possibly printing) of any sort of printable material.

Word processor may also refer to an obsolete type of stand-alone office machine, popular in the 1970s and 80s, combining the keyboard text-entry and printing functions of an electric typewriter with a dedicated computer for the editing of text.

Although features and design varied between manufacturers and models, with new features added as technology advanced, word processors for several years usually featured a monochrome display and the ability to save documents on memory cards or diskettes. Later models introduced innovations such as spell-checking programs, increased formatting options, and dot-matrix printing. As the more versatile combination of a personal computer and separate printer became commonplace, the word processor disappeared.

Word processors are descended from early text formatting tools (sometimes called text justification tools, from their only real capability). Word processing was one of the earliest applications for the personal computer in office productivity.

Although early word processors used tag-based markup for document formatting, most modern word processors take advantage of a graphical user interface. Most are powerful systems consisting of one or more programs that can produce any arbitrary combination of images, graphics and text, the latter handled with type-setting capability.Microsoft Word is the most widely used computer word processing system; Microsoft estimates over five hundred million people use the Office suite, which includes Word.

There are also many other commercial word processing applications, WordPerfect, Abiword, KWord, LyX OpenOffice.org Writer

Dear Ms Roberts

Re: Word Processing Inquiry

Thank you for your letter dated 12/10/2010. I would comment on your queries as follows:

Point 1. The ideal processor operator should be self-motivated and able to cope with pressure. He/She should have an excellent memory, a methodical approach, an ability to work unsupervised and a willingness to stay with the work until the problem has been solved.

Point 2. The aim of the exercises we use in our courses is to demonstrate the difference between conventional typing and computer-based typing. The basic ideas are the same on all systems, although the method of operation may vary.

Point 3. I’m ready to go and have a break now cause this lesson has nearly finished and i have been working very hard.

If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours faithfully

Teresa RobsonHead of Department
