Lab 1: Creating and Editing a Document

The following concepts will be introduced in this lab:

1. Template: A template is a document file that includes predefined settings that are used as a pattern to create many common types of documents.
2. Automatic Grammar Check: The automatic grammar-checking feature advises you of incorrect grammar as you create and edit a document, and proposes possible corrections.
3. AutoText and AutoComplete: The AutoText feature includes entries, such as commonly used phrases, which can be quickly inserted into a document. If the AutoComplete feature is on, a ScreenTip appears as you type the first four characters of an AutoText entry that suggests the remainder of the AutoText entry you may want to use.
4. AutoCorrect: The AutoCorrect feature makes some basic assumptions about the text you are typing and, based on these assumptions, automatically corrects the entry.
5. Automatic Spelling Check: The automatic spelling-checking feature advises you of misspelled words as you create and edit a document, and proposes possible corrections.
6. Word Wrap: The word wrap feature automatically decides where to end a line and wrap text to the next line based on the margin settings.
7. Font and Font Size: A font, also commonly referred to as a typeface, is a set of characters with a specific design that has one or more font sizes.
8. Alignment: Alignment is how text is positioned on a line between the margins or indents. There are four types of paragraph alignment: left, center, right, and justified.
9. Graphics: A graphic is a non-text element or object, such as a drawing or picture that can be added to a document.
