AIOU Assignment: Computer application for business Q2

Q. No. 2     Define Word-Processor and Grammar Check

Answer:   

          A word processor is a computer application used for the production (including composition, editing, formatting, and possibly printing) of any sort of printable material.
Writing a paper or typing the material by typewriter has some problems, specially when we omit some sentences or need some correction. But in the Word processor these all problems have been solved. We can save our work on disk, retrieve in future, display it on screen, can make amendments and get print of that.
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. There are also many other commercial word processing applications, such as Word Perfect  open source applications such as Open office's Writer and KWord are rapidly gaining in popularity.

Grammar Check
Spelling and Grammar check is a feature of MS-Word. By this, here is not a single change of misspell a word or grammar error. While typing, grammar check attempts to check all mistakes in punctuation, writing styles, and words used by comparing strings of text within a document to a series of predefined rules.
After typing material, we can use this command by pressing short key F7 or click Tools menu and then Spelling and Grammar. New windows will appear, as shown, which will check Spelling and grammar of the all documents.
A red line is appeared in the misspelled words and a green line appeared below the sentences that have grammar mistake.
      As show in figure, we typed a sentence and checked grammar.
By default, Word checks spelling and grammar as we type. Wavy red underlines indicate possible spelling errors. Wavy green underlines indicate possible grammatical issues. We can use keyboard short key F7 (function key) or click ABC button on standard toolbar.
We can also run the spelling and grammar checker to check whole document, in addition to checking spelling and grammar as typed. To run the spelling and grammar checker, click Spelling and Grammar on the Tools menu.
To make sure that the spelling and grammar checker is turned on, do the following:
1.               On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling & Grammar tab.
2.               Select the Check spelling as you type check box (if it is not already selected).
3.               Select the Check grammar as you type check box (if it is not already selected).
4.               Select any other spelling options and any other grammar options that you want, and then click OK.
Set spelling and grammar preferences
1.      On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling & Grammar tab.
2.      Under Spelling or Grammar, select the options that you want.
1.      Select the text that you don't want to check.
2.      On the Tools menu, point to Language, and then click Set Language.
3.      Select the Do not check spelling or grammar check box.
1.      On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling & Grammar tab.
2.      Click Settings.
3.      In the Writing style box, select whether you want to check grammar and style, or grammar only.
If you are setting options for text that is written in a language other than your language version of Microsoft Word, the options may vary slightly.
4.      In the Grammar and style options box, do one or both of the following:
a.      Under Require, select the options that you want for serial commas, punctuation within quotation marks, and number of spaces between sentences.
b.      Under Grammar and Style, select or clear the check boxes next to the rules that you want the grammar checker to check or ignore.
If you are setting options for text that is written in a language other than your language version of Word, the options may vary slightly. For example, some group names might be different, and others, such as Require, may not appear.
You can also use the AutoCorrect feature to specify an alternate spelling for a word. For example, if you usually type in U.S. English but you don't want "theatre" to be considered a misspelled word, you can prevent Word from marking "theatre" as misspelled.
5.      On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect options, and then click the AutoCorrect tab.
6.      Click Exceptions, and then click the Other Corrections tab.
7.      In the Don't correct box, type the alternate spelling that you want to use, and then click Add.
8.      Click OK.

values of a number of data series (data series: Related data points that are plotted in a chart. Each data series in a chart has a unique color or pattern and is represented in the chart legend. You can plot one or more data series in a chart. Pie charts have only one data series.). Radar charts have the following chart sub-types:
Radar   This type of chart displays changes in values relative to a center point. It can be displayed with markers for each data point. For example, in the following radar chart, the data series that covers the most area, Brand A, represents the brand with the highest vitamin content.

Filled Radar   In this type of chart, the area covered by a data series is filled with a color.
A surface chart is useful when you want to find optimum combinations between two sets of data. As in a topographic map, colors and patterns indicate areas that are in the same range of values. Surface charts have the following chart sub-types:
3-D Surface   This type of chart shows trends in values across two dimensions in a continuous curve. For example, the following surface chart shows the various combinations of temperature and time that result in the same measure of tensile strength. The colors in this chart represent specific ranges of values.

Displayed without color, a 3-D surface chart is called a wireframe 3-D surface chart.
Contour   This is a surface chart viewed from above, where colors represent specific ranges of values. Displayed without color, this chart type is called a Wireframe Contour.
A bubble chart is a type of xy (scatter) chart. It compares sets of three values and can be displayed with a 3-D visual effect. The size of the bubble, or data marker (data marker: A bar, area, dot, slice, or other symbol in a chart that represents a single data point or value that originates from a worksheet cell. Related data markers in a chart constitute a data series.), indicates the value of a third variable. To arrange your data for a bubble chart, place the x values in one row or column, and enter corresponding y values and bubble sizes in the adjacent rows or columns. For example, you would organize your data as shown in the following picture.

The following bubble chart shows that Company A has the most products and the greatest market share, but not the highest sales.
This chart type is most often used for stock price data, but can also be used for scientific data (for example, to indicate temperature changes). You must organize your data in the correct order to create stock charts. Stock charts have the following chart sub-types:
High-Low-Close   The high-low-close chart is often used to illustrate stock prices. It requires three series of values in the following order (high, low, and then close).

Open-High-Low-Close   This type of chart requires four series of values in the correct order (open, high, low, and then close).
Volume-High-Low-Close   This type of chart requires four series of values in the correct order (volume, high, low, and then close). The following stock chart measures volume using two value axes: one for the columns that measure volume, and the other for the stock prices.
Volume-Open-High-Low-Close   This type of chart requires five series of values in the correct order (volume, open, high, low, and then close).
These chart types use cylinder, cone, or pyramid data markers to lend a dramatic effect to column, bar, and 3-D column charts. Much like column and bar charts, cylinder, cone, and pyramid charts have the following chart sub-types:
Column, Stacked Column, or 100% Stacked Column   The columns in these types of chart are represented by cylindrical, conical, or pyramid shapes.

Bar, Stacked Bar, or 100% Stacked Bar   The bars in these types of chart are represented by cylindrical, conical, or pyramid shapes.

3-D Column   The 3-D columns in this type of chart are represented by cylindrical, conical, or pyramid shapes. 
XY Scatter and Line charts
Pie of Pie and Bar of Pie chart
Bubble charts
Sock charts
Surface charts
Histograms 
Gannt charts
