PRACTICAL 1.
Microsoft Word is a word processor developed by Microsoft. It was first released in 1983 under the
name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems. MS Word is a popular word-processing
program used
primarily for creating documents such as letters, brochures, learning activities, tests, quizzes and
students' homework assignments. There are many simple but useful features available in Microsoft
Word to make it easier for study and work. That's why so many people would prefer to convert the
read-only PDF to editable Word and edit PDF in Word.

PRACTICAL 2.
Video provides a powerful way to help you prove your point. When you click Online Video, you can
paste in the embed code for the video you want to add. You can also type a keyword to search online
for the video that best fits your document.
To make your document look professionally produced, Word provides header, footer, cover page, and
text box designs that complement each other. For example, you
can add a matching cover page,
header, and sidebar. Click Insert and then choose the elements you want from the different galleries.
Themes and styles also help keep your document coordinated. When you click Design and choose a
new Theme, the pictures, charts, and SmartArt graphics change to match your new theme. When you
apply styles, your headings change to match the new theme.
Save time in Word with new buttons that show up where you need them. To change the way a picture
fits in your document, click it and a button for layout options appears next to it. When you work on a
table, click where you
want to add a row or a column, and then click the plus sign.
Reading is easier, too, in the new Reading view. You can collapse parts of the document and focus
on the text you want. If you need to stop reading before you reach the end, Word remembers where
you left off - even on another device.
1. Work with the text above and indent the first lines of each paragraph.
2. Align the first paragraph to the left, the second paragraph should be aligned to the middle, the
third paragraph should be aligned to the right, and forth paragraph should be aligned as
justified.
3. Change the line and paragraph spacing of all four paragraphs as: 1, 1.15, 1.5, 2 respectively.
