Why do we insert citations and bibliography in documents? How can we 'be resourceful in constructing our outputs? Word Processing Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen in 1975 The long history of word processing came from the experiences of its users. We gradually shifted from mechanical' to electronic tools to respond to our needs in accelerating and improving the process of writing. With word processors, we can use text and formatting tools to enrich our documents before printing them.  Lists A list is a series of related items displayed consecutively per line. This can be numbered or bulleted. A numbered list shows hierarchy and is often used when writing a topic outline. On the other hand, a bulleted list is a list with no order. To add a list, we do the following steps: 1. Choose a button from the different commands in the Paragraph group. These buttons are Bullets, Numbering, and Multilevel list. 2. Select any from the library of formats or choose the Define New option to customize our bullets. Our chosen bullet will be displayed on the document as we type in the items on our list. Fonts Serif Sans-Serif Decorative Fonts can influence the mood and reading time of readers as they go through the content of a document. They also give visual clues on how the important words should he read and emphasized in a document. The groups of fonts are serif, sans-serif, and decorative fonts. Let us look at the following examples:  Serif fonts have SERIF short lines at the ends of the letters. Examples are Times New Roman, Century, and Garamond. Sans- Sans-serif fonts do not have serif short lines. The word "sans" is a French word for "without." Examples are Arial, Century Gothic. and Calibri. These fonts are better for headings and titles and are more preferred in soft copy since they are easier to read. DECORATI Decorative font$, which are VE also called script, ornamental, or novelty, have character and stronger personality. However, they are used sparingly Examples are; Broadway Castellar Lucida Calligraphy Generally, we pair fonts from distinct types and avoid using too many font types on a page. For instance, we use one serif font with one sans- serif font. It is also better to use popular fonts when using soft copies of documents. This way. we will be sure that our documents are displayed correctly when viewed on another computer. To format our text, we do the following steps: 1. Select the text and go to the Font group on the Home ribbon. 2. Choose any of the commands such as font, font size, and font color. Font Section/House Format We typically add multiple formats on ,the text or graphics. For instance, we change the size, color, font, and style. To achieve consistency in our document, we use the same 'format. Good thing, there is an effortless way to apply them —the Format Painter command. To use it, we do these steps: 1. Highlight the text whose format we want to copy 2. Choose Format Painter in the Clipboard group. 3. Select the other text we want to format. Format Painter Samples Example Only Example Only Example Only Example Only Paragraphs By arranging our paragraphs, we can make our sentences more legible; By adjusting the alignment, indentions, and spaces between the lines, we add white spaces. Thus, the document will be less crowded, and it will be easier for the reader to find the paragraphs they want to read quickly. We access the buttons from the Paragraph group on the Home ribbon. A) To adjust 'alignment, we click any of the buttons left, center, right, and justify. B) To adjust indention, we press the Tab key. We can also click the Increase Indent and Decrease Indent buttons. C) To adjust line spacing we click Line and Paragraph Spacing button. Then, choose the value bf line spacing. We can also specify the number of spaces before or after the paragraphs from the Line Spacing Options. Headers and Footers Adding headers and footers keeps long documents organized and easy to follow because of the information these, contain. Headers are placed on top of a document, while footers are found at the bottom.  Citations and Bibliography When writing a research paper, we gather our sources and cite them. This practice adds credibility to our paper, thus making it worthwhile to read.
