4. Chapter 6 Overview What Is Word Processing? In1968, IBM first used the term word processing. The term described machines that could be used to type a document, remember the typist’s keystrokes, and produce more than one copy. With this new tool, workers saved time.

5. Chapter 6 Overview That was just the beginning. Today’s word-processing programs do much more. Suppose you were writing something by hand and made a mistake or changed your mind about what you wanted to say. If you were using a pen, you would probably cross out the words you wanted to change or brush on correction fluid. Doing that leaves the page messy, though. With word-processing software, you can change the text and still create neat pages. You can even save what you typed and use it again a day, a week, or even a year later.

6. 6-1 Creating a Document • List the four basic functions of word-processing programs. • Name two tools used to navigate a word-processing document. • Summarize four key features of word-processing programs. • Identify three standards for word-processing documents.

7. Vocabulary 6-1 word-processing program that creates documents through writing, editing, formatting, and printing functions programa procesamiento de textos programa que elabora documentos mediante funciones de escritura, edición, asignación de formato e impresión

8. Insertion point/punto de inserción   a mark that indicates where entered text will appear in a document marca que indica dónde aparecerá el texto introducido en un documento

13. Workbook Questions page 79 1.What is the purpose of the insertion point in a word-processing program? Word-processing programs can be used to create almost any kind of printed document, such as letters, reports, and brochures.

14. Pg 79 2.How do you use a mouse to scroll through a document? How do you use the keyboard? You can scroll up or down by using the mouse to click the scroll bar or drag the scroll box at the rights of the document window. You can also use the UP and DOWN arrow keys or the PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, HOME, and END keys to move around in the document.

15. Page 79 3. Of the three standards of word-processing style, which do you think puts more demands on the person using the program? Why? Its your opinion.
