PowerPoint

Where do you find or start PowerPoint?

If you have Microsoft PowerPoint or the entire Microsoft Office package installed in Microsoft Windows, you can find PowerPoint in your Start menu.

Keep in mind that new computers do not include PowerPoint. It must be purchased and installed before it can run on your computer.

If PowerPoint is installed on your computer, but you can't find it in your Start menu, use the following steps to launch PowerPoint manually:

1. Open My Computer.
2. Click on or select the C: drive. If Microsoft Office is installed on a drive other than the C: drive, select that drive instead.
3. Navigate to the Program Files (x86) folder, then the Microsoft Office folder.
4. In the Microsoft Office folder, if there is a root folder, open that folder. Then open the OfficeXX folder, where XX is the version of Office (e.g., Office16 for Microsoft Office 2016). If there is no root folder, look for and open a folder that has "Office" in the name.
5. Look for a file named POWERPNT.EXE and double-click that file to start Microsoft PowerPoint.

PowerPoint example

The picture below is an example of what Microsoft PowerPoint looks like with a description on each major area in red.

PowerPoint slides may contain only text, or they can include pictures, videos, or animated text and images. Text may be formatted in the same ways as in Microsoft Word, with custom color, size, and font type.

Benefits of PowerPoint

PowerPoint provides multiple benefits to users, including:

• It is widely used, and considered the "standard" for presentation software. If you create a PowerPoint presentation, it's more likely it will be easier for others to open and view.
• It includes many optional presentation features, including slide transitions, animations, layouts, templates, and more.
• It offers the option to export its slides to alternative file formats, including GIF and JPG images, MPEG-4 video, PDF, RTF (rich text format), WMV (Windows Media Video), and PowerPoint XML.

While the look and feel of PowerPoint has changed over the years, the functionality has remained mostly the same.

Microsoft Word

Sometimes called Winword, MS    Word, or Word, Microsoft Word is a word processor published by Microsoft. It is one of the office productivity applications included in the Microsoft Office suite. Originally developed by Charles Simony and Richard Brodie, it was first released in 1983.

Microsoft Word is available for Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, Android, and Apple iOS. It can also run on the Linux operating system using WINE.

What is Microsoft Word used for?

Microsoft Word allows you to create professional-quality documents, reports, letters, and resumes. Unlike a plain text editor, Microsoft Word has features including spell check, grammar check, text and font formatting, HTML support, image support, advanced page layout, and more.

What are the uses of Microsoft Word?

Microsoft Word is a word processor, and, like other word processors, it's capable of helping users create a variety of different types of documents. For example, users can create a résumé, business contract, instruction document, or a letter to another person. We've included a list of the top uses of a word processor on our word processor page.

How many lines are there on a page in Microsoft Word?

By default, there are 29 lines on one page in Microsoft Word.

What type of files can Microsoft Word create and use?

Early versions of Microsoft Word primarily created and used the .doc file extension, while newer versions of Word create and use the .docx file extension.

More recent versions of Microsoft Word can create and open the following types of files:

• .doc, .docm, .docx
• .dot, .dotm, .dotx
• .htm, .html
• .mht, .mhtml

Example of a Microsoft Word .doc file

You can download an example of a Microsoft Word .doc document by clicking the Microsoft Word .doc file link.

Why use Word instead of a plain-text editor?

Microsoft Word offers many features not found in a traditional text editor or a plain-text file. Reasons to use Microsoft Word instead of a plain-text editor include the ability to change the formatting (e.g., center), change the font type, size, and color, insert pictures, and much more.

Tip

The features above are also available in a rich-text editor, such as WordPad, which is included with Microsoft Windows.

Why use Word instead of a WordPad?

A rich-text editor, like WordPad, offers many of the same basic features as Microsoft Word. Where Microsoft Word differs is the ability to do more advanced features. Some of the advanced features include mail merges, spellchecker, styles, tables, headers & footers, WordArt, columns, margins, and more.

Introduction to MS Paint

Introduction to Microsoft Paint Program

Microsoft Paint is a drawing program rarely used by many computer users. There are those who even do not know it exists. It is important to know how to use Microsoft Paint program because there are a number of things you can do with it.

The Paint program can be used to create simple to detailed drawings, but of course, it will depend on who is doing it. The best thing is that these drawings can be done either in black and white or in color.

MS Paint Window

Editing Photos Using Paint

Apart from creating new drawings, Paint can also be used for editing pictures. It can be an important program for writers who want to edit pictures to use for illustrating purposes in their articles. For example, I capture screenshots using the print screen and paste them on the MS Paint window. Then, from there, I modify them before using them for my articles.

The drawings you make can be printed, e-mailed to your friends, used as a desktop background, copied to another document, sold for a profit, and a variety of other uses.

How MS Paint Can Be Used to Edit an Image

Starting MS Paint

• Click on start
• All programs
• Accessories
• Paint

The MS Paint Window Features

Note: If you are using Windows 7 or other advanced operating systems, you will find a much more improved MS Paint Program.

1. Free-form select and select tool – for selecting a specific object which then you can copy and paste in another location, or you can opt to delete that selection.
2. Eraser/color eraser – this is for erasing your drawing or the color you have applied.
3. Pick color – this picks a specific color you want and makes it the active color, meaning that whatever you do next will have that color.
4. Pencil – you will use it for drawing.
5. Airbrush – for spraying your object with color.

8. Ellipse – for drawing an ellipse, you can also draw a perfect circle by holding the shift key before you start dragging your mouse.
9. Fill with colour – as the name suggests, you use this tool to fill an object with colour at once.
10. Magnifier – this is a zoom tool, you can use to magnify a part of your drawing.
11. Brush – use this for painting, just like you would paint your house.
12. Text – you will use this for entering text.

Knowing the tools used in Paint, you can now come up with a drawing. Open Paint and think of something to draw. It is only by a lot of practicing that you can improve your skills

Setting Your Drawing as the Desktop Background

After drawing, make sure you save your work. To set your drawing as the desktop background, click on file set as desktop background. Try both centered and tiled to see which one you like.

How to working Internet

Internet

A protocol is a set of rules and guidelines for communicating data. Rules are defined for each step and process during communication between two or more computers. Networks have to follow these rules to successfully transmit data.

Browser 

Five major browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera — account 95% of web traffic. A major role of a web browser is to accept a web URL via an address bar, fetch resources, and display them on the screen.

Web server 

A Web server is software or hardware that uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and other protocols to respond to client requests made over the World Wide Web (WWW). ... Web server hardware is connected to the internet and allows data to be exchanged with other connected devices.

Network 

Networking, also known as computer networking, is the practice of transporting and exchanging data between nodes over a shared medium in an information system. Networking comprises not only the design, construction and use of a network, but also the management, maintenance and operation of the network infrastructure, software and policies.
Computer networking enables devices and endpoints to be connected to each other on a local area network (LAN) or to a larger network, such as the internet or a private wide area network (WAN). This is an essential function for service providers, businesses and consumers worldwide to share resources, use or offer services, and communicate. Networking facilitates everything from telephone calls to text messaging to streaming video to the internet of things.
The level of skill required to operate a network directly correlates to the complexity of a given network. For example, a large enterprise may have thousands of nodes and rigorous security requirements, such as end-to-end encryption, requiring specialized network administrators to oversee the network.
At the other end of the spectrum, a layperson may set up and perform basic troubleshooting for a home Wi-Fi network with a short instruction manual. Both examples constitute computer networking.

This control center, called the central processing unit (CPU), is a highly complex, extensive set of electronic circuitry that executes stored program instructions.

Monitor 

The display provides instant feedback by showing you text and graphic images as you work or play. Most desktop displays use liquid crystal display (LCD) or cathode ray tube (CRT) technology, while nearly all portable computing devices such as laptops incorporate LCD technology.

Mouse 

A computer mouse (plural mice or mouses) is a hand-held pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion relative to a surface. This motion is typically translated into the motion of a pointer on a display, which allows a smooth control of the graphical user interface of a computer.

Printer 

A printer is a device that accepts text and graphic output from a computer and transfers the information to paper, usually to standard size sheets of paper. Printers vary in size, speed, sophistication, and cost. In general, more expensive printers are used for higher-resolution color printing.
