INTRODUCTION:
The Page Maker 5
...
The traditional practice by a
publisher of producing a dummy (MOCK UP) of the proposed publication should still the
followed, with the same decisions being made about page size, number of columns, size of
alleys, heading fonts, subheading fonts, body text font, position of illustrations, whether to
box or not, etc

Here are some major functions of Pager Maker 5
...
Prepare lengthy text in your word processor; enter shorter
passages directly into the Page Maker text editor
...
There are four ways to bring text into
your word processor: key it in, scan it in through an OCR (optical character reading)
program, import it from other application programs, or bring it in via modem
...
The following is
an example of how you enter text in your word processor so that you can import three
styles
...
If a style name tag does not match an existing Page
Maker style, Page Maker creates a new style based on the formatting of the imported text
...
SETTING UP PAGES: 1
...
Clicking on them may highlight choices, or the default
highlight may be moved from item to item by use of the Tab key
...
Again choose File/new and observe that because you chose Cancel, resulting in the
selections you just made not being implemented, they have been replaced with the default
setting
...
Click on the X in the Double-side check box to uncheck it and to set up a single
side page for this first project
...
Place the insertion point in the left margin text box and
change the measurement to

TEMPLATES:
In Page Maker a publication can be started with a template or a grid
...
Grids are shapes created by nonprinting
margin guides, ruler guides, and column guides, which you use to position and align text
and graphics in your publications
...
You can modify a template if it is
not exactly what you require, but if you do, or if you create a new template for a
publication, give it a unique name and save it as a template for future use
...
FILE OPERATIONS:
On your companion diskette, which should still be in a floppy drive, there is a publication
similar to the one you created but did not save
...
SAVING PUBLICATIONS:
In PageMaker you save a new publication or give an old publication a new title by using the
Save as

COMPUTER APPLICATION (COREL DRAW)
CorelDRAW is a vector graphics editor developed and marketed by Corel Corporation of
Ottawa, Canada
...
CorelDRAW was originally
developed for Microsoft Windows and currently runs only on Windows 2000 and newer
versions
...
In this
lesson we shall discus about some aspects of Corel Draw
...
These include: fit text-to-path, strokebefore-fill, quick fill/stroke color selection palettes, perspective projections, mesh fills and
complex gradient fills
...
It
is a graphics suite, rather than just a vector graphics programme
...
The biggest improvement
with CorelDRAW over other graphic software programmes is its ability to edit bitmaps
...
Bitmaps can also be edited more extensively using Corel PhotoPaint, opening the
bitmap directly from CorelDRAW and returning to the program after saving
...
Although they are both vector-based
illustration programs, the user experience differs greatly between the two
...
While Illustrator will read CorelDRAW's native file type and vice
versa, the translation is almost never perfect
...
CorelDRAW can also open PowerPoint Presentations with little
or no problem
...
The list of bundled packages usually changes somewhat from one release to
the next
...
The current version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite contains the following packages:
CorelDRAW: Vector graphics editing software
Corel PHOTO-PAINT: Raster image creation and editing software
Corel CAPTURE: Enables several methods of image-capture
Corel PowerTRACE: Converts raster images to vector graphics
...
Version 3 of CoerlDRAW (1992) included Corel PHOTO-PAINT* (for bitmap editing),
CorelSHOW (for creating on-screen presentations, CorelCHART (for graphic charts),
Mosaic and CorelTRACE (for vectorizing bitmaps)
...
Version 4 of CoerlDRAW (1993) included Corel PHOTO-PAINT* (for bitmap editing),
CorelSHOW (for creating on-screen presentations, CorelCHART (for graphic charts),
CorelMOVE for animation, Mosaic and CorelTRACE (for vectorizing bitmaps)
...
In version 5 of CoerlDRAW (1994), Corel Ventura was included in the suite (and then
sold as a separate program)
...
Version 6 of CoerlDRAW (1995) had Customizable interface, Polygon, Spiral, Knife and
Eraser tools
...
Version 7 of CoerlDRAW (1997) contained Context-sensitive Property bar, Print
Preview with Zoom and Pan options, Scrapbook (for viewing a drag-anddropping
graphic objects), Publish to HTML option, Draft and Enhanced display options,
Interactive Fill and Blend tools, Transparency tools, Natural Pen tool, Find & Replace
wizard, Convert Vector to Bitmap option (inside Draw), Spell checker, Thesaurus and
Grammar checker
...
Version 8 of CoerlDRAW (1998) had Digger selection, Docker windows, Interactive
Distortion, 3D, Envelope and tools, Realistic Dropshadow tool, interactive color mixing,
color palette editor, guidelines as objects, customesized pages, duotone support
...
Version 9 of CoerlDRAW (1999) contained the Mesh fill tool (for complex color filling),
Artistic Media tool, Publish to PDF features, embedded ICC color profiles, Multiple Onscreen Color Palettes and Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications 6 support
...
Version 10 of CoerlDRAW (2000) had CorelR
...
V
...
(for vector animation), Perfect
Shapes, Web graphics tools (for creating interactive elements such as buttons), Page
sorter, multilingual document support, navigator window
...
o Version 12 of CoerlDRAW
(2003) contained Dynamic guides, Smart Drawing tools, Export to MS Office or Word
option, Virtual Segment Delete tool, Unicode text support
...
Trace became
integrated inside Draw under the name PowerTRACE
...
The original graphics packages were primarily bitmapped graphics packages
...
Once its color became established, it stayed that way until
changed by the operator
...
DIFFERENT TYPEFACES AND SIZING
Corel Draw comes with over 150 typefaces
...
More typefaces are available from third parties, or the user can create his own font
using the WFN Front Export filter included and described in the CorelDraw
...
What is different about Draw is its ability
to change the way text characters look
...
This is particularly
useful when many files have been saved relating to the same topic
...
If a file was
created under an older version or DRAW (before release 2
...
Drawings created with Release 2
...
Retrieving
an older drawing into DRAW 2
...
Once a drawing is selected in MOSAIC, it
can be loaded into DRAW simply by double clicking on the drawing
...
This is the
purpose of Corel TRACE!
UNDERSTANDING THE CORELDRAW SCREEN:
It is assumed that CorelDraw! Is already installed on your computer
...
They stress
that DRAW should be installed “outside of Windows
...
Starting CorelDraw!, once it is installed, is made simple by using the
windows environment
...
Turn on your Computer (make sure your monitor is also on)
...
Watch your monitor as the computer starts itself
...
If you do, go on to step
...
If not, and all you see is a blank screen with some text lettering, type WIN then press
Return (Enter)
...
This option is used
to establish the general ‘paper’ and ‘drawing’ environment within which the drawings will
be created
...
With in this dialog box are options page orientation, page size, and several other
options listed at the bottom
...
5 inches, similar to a notebook
sheet of paper
...
5 inches and the width is 11 inches
...
Select the Letter Page Size and Portrait Orientation and notice the horizontal/vertical
dimensions listed
...
Change the Orientation from Portrait of Landscape, and notice that the
horizontal/vertical dimensions swap places
...
5x14 inches), Tabloid (11x17 inches,) A3, A4, A5, B5, and Slide options
...

...
DRAWING BASIC SHAPES:
The previous sections outlined the basic history of DRAW, with procedures for accessing
Draw’s commands and setting up the general page format
...
Section four deals
with drawing lines, circular shapes, the rectangular shapes
...
To demonstrate this:

In the information listed at the center of the status bar, notice
an Angle designation with Degrees listed
...
CREATING PIE SHAPES FROM ELLIPSES AND CIRCLES:
1
...
2
...
As you drag the small
box, the circle edge will begin to open up
...
Let go of the mouse button and notice the final shape
...
The
circle moves along with the cursor until you release the mouse button
...
This is an easy way to move an object around on the screen
and applies to all objects and text boxes
...
Clicking on it again outline
it with a series of arrows and place a “bull’s-eye” in the center of the object
...
The object can be rotated either clockwise or counterclockwise
...
This
may be useful for special applications
...
Create a rectangle
...
Select the PICK tool and click on the rectangle if you do not see a series of arrows
then click on the rectangle again
...
Drag the bull’s-eye into one of the corners of the rectangle
...
Drag the curved arrows in the corners
...
The horizontal and vertical double arrows on each side
are used to skew the objects along a horizontal or vertical path, respectively
...
Click and drag one of these double arrows, and see the object begin to skew along
the path you follow
...
WORKING WITH BEZIER CURVES:
As we have been from the few sections, DRAW is an effective tool for creating boxes, circles,
and straight lines, Most drawing require curves to provide a level of artistic appeal, and
DRAW has some special features that make working with curves simple
...
In essence, DRAW takes the
curve you draw and develops a mathematical method of describing it using Nodes and
Control Points
...
More of Draw’s features can be used on text strings than
on paragraph text, so if you plan to perform extensive reworking of the text, then entering
it as a text string is recommended
...
Each way has its benefits and is worth taking a few moments to review
...
Clear your page and then draw a rectangular shaped object using the RECTANGLE
tool as outlined in a previous section
...
Give the rectangle a light fill as chosen by the FILL tool
...
Press the spacebar to select the PICK tool
...
Now press the “+” key and then click and drag on the rectangle’s border
...
5
...
POSITIONING OBJECTS ON THE PAGE:
Positioning objects in DRAW is a little confusing since the way they appear
...
This was discussed briefly in the
last section when the duplicated rectangular objects appeared as lines on the editing page,
but appeared as filled boxed in front of one another on the preview page
...
Clear the editing screen by selecting New under the FILE menu
...
Draw a rectangle that is one inch in height and three inches in width
...
3
...
DRAW also allows automatic alignment of objects along a
combination of horizontal/vertical and left/right/center options
...
Marquee select the three objects using the PICK tool, and then click on the Align
option under the ARRANGE menu
...
5
...
The bottom of each object is aligned along
the same horizontal line and are all centered as shown in the figure
...
Few things are more aggravating that to have several hours of work
is lost due to a power failure or a confused computer
...
The process is
made easy but not automatic
...
Notice that the name of the drawing shown on the title bar is
“UNTITLED
...
” We are now going to name and save this drawing
...
Deactivate the grid feature by clicking on the Snap To Grid option of the DISPLAY menu
...
Click on the TEXT tool and then enter the word EXCELLENT on the page in 60-point type
...
Select the PICK tool, and click on the EFFECTS menu

COMPUTER APPLICATION (MICROSOFT EXCEL)
Microsoft Excel (full name Microsoft Office Excel) is a spreadsheet application written and
distributed by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS
...
It is overwhelmingly the dominant spreadsheet application
available for these platforms and has been so since version 5 in 1993 and its bundling as part of
Microsoft Office
...
This promoted development of a new spreadsheet called Excel, which started with the intention to,
in the words of Doug Klunder, 'do everything 1-2-3 does and do it better’
...
0 to line-up with the
Mac and bundled with a run-time Windows environment) was released in November 1987
...
This accomplishment, dethroning the king of the software world, solidified Microsoft as a valid
competitor and showed its future of developing graphical software
...
The current version for the Windows platform is
Excel 12, also called Microsoft Office Excel 2007
...
Microsoft Excel 2

...
As the result of the dispute Microsoft was required to refer to the
program as "Microsoft Excel" in all of its formal press releases and legal documents
...
Microsoft also encouraged the use of the letters XL as shorthand for the program; while this is no
longer common, the program's icon on Windows still consists of a stylized combination of the two
letters, and the file extension of the default
Excel format is
...
Excel offers many user interface tweaks over the earliest electronic
spreadsheets; however, the essence remains the same as in the original spreadsheet, VisiCalc: the
cells are organized in rows and columns, and contain data or formulas with relative or absolute
references to other cells

MS EXCELL- AN INTRODUCTION:
MS Excel is a Windows based spreadsheet (worksheet) package
...
If a spreadsheet package is used then the re-calculation is automatic
...
VBA allows the creation of forms and in worksheet controls to communicate with the user
...
The automation functionality provided by VBA has caused Excel to become a target for macro
viruses
...
Microsoft belatedly took steps to prevent the misuse by adding the ability to disable
macros completely, to enable macros when opening a workbook or to trust all macros signed using
a trusted certificate

CRITICISM:
Due to Excel's foundation on floating point calculations, the statistical accuracy of Excel has been
criticized, as has the lack of certain statistical tools
...
Excel incorrectly assumes that 1900 is a leap year
...
This legacy has later been carried
over into Office Open XML file format
...
EXCEL BASICS:
Before working with MS-Excel, different parts of Excel spreadsheet must be identified
...
Excel

...
First row number is 1
and the last row number is 65536
...
Column Headers — There are 256 columns as A, B, C
...
AZ, BA, BB
...
First column
name is A and last column name is IV
...
Scroll Bars — Used to scroll through different parts of current sheet
...
Tab Split Box — Used to adjust the space occupied by the sheet tabs and horizontal scroll bar
...
Each worksheet is named as Sheet 1, Sheet 2 and Sheet
3
...
The status on
num lock, caps lock and scroll lock keys on the keyboard on the right side
...
Each Workbook contains 3 worksheets by
default
...
Each sheet is named
uniquely like Sheet 1, Sheet 2 etc
...
A workbook can also contain
chart sheets, which are named as Chart 1, Chart 2 etc
...
When Excel is loaded, it automatically opens a new workbook, named BOOK1
...
XLS
...
The main part of the Excel screen is the worksheet
area — a grid of rows and columns
...
CELL:
The intersection of a column and a row is called as a cell
...
The
cell address consists of the column letter and a row number
...
First column name is A and first row number is 1
...
First cell is also called as Home Cell
...
Total cells in a worksheet are 256 * 65536 (total number of columns x
rows)
...
A thick black border indicates the active cell
...
Using key combinations also it is possible to move quickly to the desired cell
...
· To scroll
through different parts of the worksheet, drag the scroll box in the scroll bars or click on the arrow
marks in the scroll bars
...
· To go to a desired cell, cell inside the cell, or select Edit > Go To type the desired
cell address in the Reference box (for example, D7) and click on OK
...
ENTERING AND EDITING DATA:
Any entry can be made in the active cell
...
They are: · Text — Text
in a cell include any combination of letters, numbers, and keyboard symbols
...
If column width prevents a text string fitting visually in a cell, the display extends
over neighboring cells
...
To
store a number as a text entry, use apostrophe (‘) as the first character
...
Date and time are stored
as numbers
...
When an unformatted
number does not fit in a cell, it is displayed in scientific notation
...
· Logical Values — Logical entries, TRUE and FALSE (uppercase
only) can be entered in the cells
...
A formula begins with an equal sign (=)
...
If the formula
entered is wrong, error values are stored in the cell
...
To Make Any Entry in the Cell ·

Percentages format multiply the cell value by 100 and display the result with a percent % symbol
...
· Text format can be used to represent a number entered in a
cell as a text entry
...
e
...
Instead of using all the above
individually to a certain cell the style feature provides the user to set a specific formatting to certain
cells
...
It is very useful for the user to use styles as it
saves time and also establishes formatting standard
...
The user can also create other styles with specific
formatting
...
Creating Styles:
To create styles, select Format > Style
...
A new style name can
be specified for the style already created by the user
...
The style name that has been created can be later applied to format cells
simultaneously

In the Data Range tab, we can specify the data range
(range of data series to be plotted and xaxis labels) and whether the series in Rows or Columns
...
For example, select series in Rows, the chart will be modified to show the series in rows
...
The range will be displayed in the data range box
and the chart sample will be displayed accordingly
...
The second tab Series, is used to specify the range for each data series with the cell, which
contains the name of series, adding or removing a series and specifying the x-ails labels

COMPUTER APPLICATION (MICROSOFT POWERPOINT)
POWER POINT- AN INTRODUCTION: Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation programme developed by
Microsoft for its Microsoft Office system
...
It is widely used by
business people, educators, students, and trainers and is among the most prevalent forms of persuasion
technology
...
The current version of Microsoft Office PowerPoint
is Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007
...
Bob Gaskins and software developer
Dennis Austin developed the original Microsoft Office PowerPoint as Presenter for Forethought, Inc,
which they later renamed PowerPoint
...
0 was released in 1987 for the Apple Macintosh
...
A new
full color version of PowerPoint shipped a year later after the first color Macintosh came to market
...
In 1990 the first Windows versions were produced
...
The 2002
version, part of the Microsoft Office XP Professional suite and also available as a stand-alone product,
provided features such as comparing and merging changes in presentations, the ability to define
animation paths for individual shapes, pyramid/radial/target and Venn diagrams, multiple slide masters,
a "task pane" to view and select text and objects on the clipboard, password protection for
presentations, automatic "photo album" generation, and the use of "smart tags" allowing people to
quickly select the format of text copied into the presentation
...
It enhanced collaboration between co-workers and featured
"Package for CD", which makes it easy to burn presentations with multimedia content and the viewer on
CD-ROM for distribution
...
The current version,
Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, released in November 2006, brought major changes of the user
interface and enhanced graphic capabilities

...
The "slide" analogy is
a reference to the slide projector, a device that has become somewhat obsolete due to the use of
PowerPoint and other presentation software
...
Slides can also form the basis of webcasts
...
Entrance, emphasis, and exit of elements on a slide
itself are controlled by what PowerPoint calls Custom Animations
...
These can be animated in a variety of ways

3 CRITICISMS OF POWER POINT: One major source of criticism of PowerPoint comes from Yale
professor of statistics and graphic design Edward Tufte, who criticizes many emergent properties of the
software: o It is used to guide and reassure a presenter, rather than to enlighten the audience; o
Unhelpfully simplistic tables and charts, resulting from the low resolution of computer displays; o The
outliner causing ideas to be arranged in an unnecessarily deep hierarchy, itself subverted by the need to
restate the hierarchy on each slide; o Enforcement of the audience's linear progression through that

to lay out text and graphics on the screen
...
The finished document may be intended for printing or for electronic distribution
...
In this lesson we shall discus about the various aspects of working with text
...
WORKING WITH TEXT - AN INTRODUCTION:
Today, many people are not writing anymore
...
In fact, in the newspaper business, reporters feed their news stories
directly in to their laptop computers while in the field
...
News editors
in the office go through the stories, select an assign stories online through a networked
system
...
These stories then reach the page make-up
personnel, who add photos and other graphic material, prepare layout for the stories and
the entire pages
...
All these have been possible because of many advancements in the ITenabled facilities,
specifically in the text-related software packages
...
Desk top publishing and electronic publishing have
revolutionized the publishing world
...
This saying, while true in many cases, does not diminish the importance of words
...
And words, when used well, open doors to a world of information and knowledge
...
Words are doorways to the
world of creativity
...
Computers,
particularly text-related software packages, play an important role as these not only help
us compose text, these also help us present the text in more attractive and appealing
manner
...
These include:
o WORD PROCESSING PROGRAMMES Word
Word Perfect
Notepad
WordPad
TextEdit
o DESKTOP PUBLISHING PROGRAMMES
Microsoft Publisher
Pagemaker Programmes (PM 5
...
5, and PM 7
...
The term covers a large variation of uses within
the business environment, and can be categorized by using a small, medium and large
matrix:
• The small business market generally consists of home accounting software, and office
suites such as Microsoft Office and OpenOffice
...
• The medium size, or SME, has a broader range of software applications, ranging from
accounting, groupware, customer relationship management, human resources software,
outsourcing relationship management, loan origination software, shopping cart software,
field service software, and other productivity enhancing applications
...
These applications are extensive in scope,
and often come with modules that either add native functions, or incorporate the
functionality of thirdparty software programs
...
A very popular BI tool that has
arisen in the last few years
...
•
Reporting software generates aggregated views of data to keep the management
informed about the state of their business
...
There are a variety of data mining techniques that reveal
different types of patterns
...
•
Business performance management (BPM)
...
You'd be hard pressed to find an
industry that does not heavily rely on technology initiatives to help run the operational
and/or strategic aspects of the business
...
Imagine a business environment without a website, electronic cash registers, customer
databases, human resource systems, electronic payroll systems (including direct deposit)
and other important areas an organization needs to run
...
In addition to the day to day business needs, here are a few other
ways for achieving them its better to use information technology for developing industries
applications
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Integrating the latest and greatest technology is useless unless it can be used to improve
the business' processes and transactions and offer a viable advantage
...
1
...
Computer information systems offer a high level of efficiency and organization
...
The speed at which transactions can be completed are
highly desired because machines can essentially take over the mundane aspects of running
a business
...
This
frees employees up to focus on other important tasks that must be handled by the human
brain
...
STRATEGIC PLANNING/DETECT TRENDS
Collecting data is an advantage because any data collected can be turned in to useful
information to help in strategic planning and to predict trends
...
Without it, this information
would be pretty difficult, if not impossible to attain
...
3
...
Again, this is an area where using technology for the sake of
technology is useless
...
No one likes to feel like a number, but technology initiatives make it possible for even the
largest of businesses to offer thousands of customers individualized attention and
personalization
...
It has gotten to the point that the role of information
technology is so vital that other areas of operations have emerged in order to protect these
valuable electronic assets
...
Many
career opportunities are evolving for this field
...
The role of information technology in industry has become a centralized role because there
are little, if any, areas of a company that does not use some sort of information system
...
Businesses today can't afford to do without it else they'll likely lose a strong
position in their respective markets
