Lab Exercise 1

1. Open a blank MS Word document and type the above text.

A computer is a device that accepts information (in the form of digitalized data)
and manipulates it for some result based on a program or sequence of instructions
on how the data is to be processed. Complex computers also include the means
for storing data (including the program, which is also a form of data) for some
necessary duration. A program may be invariable and built into the computer
(and called logic circuitry as it is on microprocessors) or different programs may
be provided to the computer (loaded into its storage and then started by an
administrator or user). Today's computers have both kinds of programming.

2. Copy the last sentence Today's computers have both kinds of programming. to the
beginning of the first paragraph.

Today 's computers have both kinds of programming.A computer is a device that accepts
information (in the form of digitalized data) and manipulates it for some result based on a
program or sequence of instructions on how the data is to be processed. Complex computers also
include the means for storing data (including the program, which is also a form of data) for some
necessary duration. A program may be invariable and built into the computer (and called logic
circuitry as it is on microprocessors) or different programs may be provided to the computer
(loaded into its storage and then started by an administrator or user).

3. Change the typeface of the entire document to 11 point Verdana.

4. Change all the word occurrences of computer to workstation.

A workstation is a device that accepts information (in the form of digitalized data)
and manipulates it for some result based on a program or sequence of instructions
on how the data is to be processed. Complex workstations also include the means
for storing data (including the program, which is also a form of data) for some
necessary duration. A program may be invariable and built into the workstation
(and called logic circuitry as it is on microprocessors) or different programs may

be provided to the workstation (loaded into its storage and then started by an
administrator or user). Today's workstations have both kinds of programming.

5. Change the spacing of the entire document from single spacing to 1.5.

A computer is a device that accepts information (in the form of digitalized data)
and manipulates it for some result based on a program or sequence of instructions
on how the data is to be processed. Complex computers also include the means
for storing data (including the program, which is also a form of data) for some

(and called logic circuitry as it is on microprocessors) or different programs may
be provided to the computer (loaded into its storage and then started by an

6. Change the alignment of the entire document to Justify.

A computer is a device that accepts information (in the form of digitalized data) and manipulates
it for some result based on a program or sequence of instructions on how the data is to be
processed. Complex computers also include the means for storing data (including the program,
which is also a form of data) for some necessary duration. A program may be invariable and built
into the computer (and called logic circuitry as it is on microprocessors) or different programs
may be provided to the computer (loaded into its storage and then started by an administrator or
