    Description
    The course introduces the student, through hands-on activities, to the use of word processing on microcomputers. The course includes basic word processing operations such as terminology and screen formats, dialog boxes, text editing, text formatting, text enhancements, sorting, tables, merging functions, saving and retrieving, and printing text. For this course, PC computers are used with the Windows Operating System, and applications supported by Windows. Students using a Macintosh computer, or any other device should be aware of differences in software that may impact steps for assignments as outlined or differences with assignment steps when using the textbook required for this � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � course. Mac and Windows OS apply the same principles and fundamentals (ie., file management, etc.,); however, features on a Macintosh computer will work differently than those as instructed using the Windows Operating System. Software and textbook materials for this course are intended to be used with a Windows OS. Students should contact the professor if they need help accessing a PC with Windows and Windows applications needed to support this learning.
