1. Introduction to Computers
We will learn in this lesson
After studying this lesson, you will be able to:

• the places where a computer is used.

• create, save and delete a file.

Places where computers are used:

Today computers have changed our lifestyle. They are being used
everywhere. Whatever happens anywhere, we come to know about
it immediately. People are getting employed due to computer skills.
Education in schools is given with the help of computers. Computers
are being used in hospitals for recording the details of the patients.
There are new techniques for farming and agriculture.

We can say the computers are used for the following:

1. Education 5. Industries 9. Sports

2. Films 6. Transport 10. Office

3. Banks 7. News & Media 11. Hospitals

4. Science 8. Fashion 12. Shopping Malls

1.1 Creating, Saving and Opening File in Word

Processor (MS-WORD)

Using a computer to create, edit, format and print documents is


known as Word Processing. The software which helps to do this is
known as Word Processor. To open word processor –

1. Click on START button (fig. 1.3).

2. Then click All Programs. Look for Microsoft Office.

3. Click on Microsoft Office.

4. Now click MS Word 2007. Word Processor window will appear on


the monitor (fig. 1.4).

3
Saving a Document

Look in the word window, its name is written as Document 1 in the


Title Bar. Let us save it as India is My Country. A file can be saved in
many ways. As per the first method we open a document, type our
text and then click on Office button, after that click on Save option.
‘Save As’ window will open, type the file name as ‘India is My
Country’ in the text box next to File Name and then press the ‘Save’
button. Now we can see the name on the title bar has changed from
Document 1 to India is My Country.

II Method:

Press Ctrl+S after typing the text Save As window will open. Click on
Desktop option and then type the file name as ‘India is My Country’
then click the save button. Your document gets saved by the
given name.

4
We can open the saved document in future and work on it again.

Let us learn how to open a document.

Opening an already saved document

To open a document created earlier in MS-WORD we can use


[Ctrl+O] keyboard shortcut. Open dialog box will appear with a few
options on left; click on it and then click on Desktop, a list of files will
appear. Click on your file. We will see our file i.e. ‘India is My
Country’ will appear in that list, click open button. Our document will
open in front of us.

Deleting a File
5
Method 1: We, will see our file (India is my country) on the desktop.
Right click on this file and select delete from the given options.
Delete dialog box will appear, click on Yes.

Method 2: Click on the File icon and press delete key. Delete dialog
box will appear for your confirmation. We can press Yes to delete the
file. If you are not sure to delete it, you can click on ‘No’ option

6
2.Word Processing: Advantage and Features
We will learn in this lesson
After studying this lesson, you will be able to:

• add pictures to a word document.

• type in Hindi.

• use Mail Merge.

Adding picture in table and arranging it

We can add pictures in a word document to make the document


more effective. If we want to write about flowers the reader would
find the document more meaningful if the picture of that flower is
also present in the document.

To add a picture in our document we will follow these steps –

1. Click where you want to add a picture.

7
2. Now click insert tab

3.You will see illustration group (fig. 2.5 b), click on picture option
(fig. 2.5 c).

3. An "Insert Picture" dialog box will open.

8
4. Now click on desktop option. A list of present files will appear
and select flower.jpg file (2.5 d) and click insert.

Your picture will appear in the document.

To arrange the picture properly in the document click on it, you will
find small square on the corners (fig. 2.5 e). Using the mouse we can
increase the size of the picture by dragging outside and decrease by
taking it inside.

In this picture we have corners to resize the image as per our desire.

Typing in Hindi

We can use our computer to write in any language. This has made it
easy for people to learn computer. Many people in villages, towns
and cities are learning to work on computers and earn their living
through it.

9
Size and style of words is called font. There are many types of fonts.
We can type in different languages like Hindi, Punjabi, Sanskrit &
Urdu etc. with the help of font.

Note: Calibri font is mostly used in MS Word 2007. We can change it


according to our will.

After creating a new document press Ctrl key with one hand and D
with other; font dialog box will open, now select Shusha for typing in
Hindi and click OK. We will see Shusha written in place of Calibri in
our document.

If we type Mera naam ram hai: It will appear as (see fig. below)

10
With a little practice we can learn to type in Hindi or any other
language very easily.

Mail Merge

Information and data can be merged together to send a copy of the


same document to many people at the same time. This is known as
Mail Merge.

Suppose it is your birthday and you want to invite your friends and
relatives. The letter that you want to send to all is the information
and the address of friends & relatives is the data. Let us see how it is
done –

11
4. Now a database window will open

12
5. Click customize columns and add the fields which we require
and delete the unnecessary fields. See fig. here we have kept
first name, last name, Address - 1 field and removed rest of the
fields. (fig. 2.8 (f)

13
6.Press OK. Now save the data table in My Document folder by the
name of guest list (fig. 2.8(g) )

7. Now you will reach the word window. (Fig. 2.8 (h)).

8. Click insert Merge field tab and click the field name you want to
insert at the desired place. (fig. 2.8 (h)).

9.Lastly we will find many copies of our document. These


copies can be sent to the guest after printing. It is also possible
to send them via e-mail. Fig. 28 (i).

14
Closing Ms-Word

Once we complete our work in the Word Processor we need to save


our work and close Ms-Word. To do this we click the Office button
and the Exit option; alternatively we can click at close button in the
right hand corner of the Word window. This will close Ms-Word 2007
window.

15
3.Spreadsheet
We will learn in this lesson
• make corrections in spreadsheet.

• save, print and close a file.

• open an existing file.

Cell Entry and Editing


Data can be entered in Ms-Excel in two ways:

(i) By using active cell


(ii) Through formula bar

1. By using active cell: We have to click on that cell where we


want to enter data to make it active cell. After selecting this cell
we can type our data and press enter or click any where else.

2. Through Formula Bar: For entering data by using formula bar


we will need to make that
cell active where we wish to enter data. Then we will click on
formula bar and type desired data and press Enter.

Editing

Editing means making corrections. If while typing we commit


any errors then we can do corrections by double clicking that
cell which needs to be edited.

By double clicking in that cell, the cursor appears there and


then we can erase the data present in that cell by pressing

16
Delete or backspace key. And there after type the new data and
finally press the Enter key. It is necessary to press the Enter key
after making corrections. It is required just as we need to put a
full stop after writing a sentence in English.

Writing a Formula

To add or subtract any data we first need to enter some data in


our spreadsheet for example we click cell A and type 5 in it and
then we click B1 and type 4 in it.

Now we will find the total in cell D1 by writing the formula.

Note: In Ms-Excel a formula always begins with an equal to


sign. A formula has three main parts.

(a) equal to (=) sign.

(b)Numbers or cell address

(c)arithmetic operator (+, -, *, / )

We will begin writing the formula by pressing = (equal to)


sign then type the cell address A1 and then the plus sign (+)
and the cell address of next cell to be added i.e. B1. After
typing the formula we must press the Enter key.

Once we press the Enter key we will find the sum (in our
case it will be 9) in the cell D1 but when we look at the
formula bar, we will find the formula i.e. “=A1+B1” written
there.

17
To subtract two numbers we will use minus (-) operator, to
multiply two numbers the multiplication operator (*) is used
whereas to divide a slash (/) be used.

Copying a Formula

The steps to copy a formula:

1. Right click the cell whose formula has to be copied.


2. A shortcut menu will appear, select copy option from it. A
dotted border appears outside the copied cell.
3. Now right click on that cell where you want to copy the
formula.
4. Click on paste option from the shortcut menu.
5. We will see the formula will be copied and it will change
according to the cell where it has been copied.

18
Cell Formatting

1.Making the data bold, italics or underline.

2. Making the numbers or alphabets big or small.

19
3. Placing the data towards left, right or center. This process of
placing the data towards the left margin, right margin or in center is
known as alignment.

4. Giving a border to data.

5. Adding background colour in our data.

How to Format Data

1. Right click the cell which you want to format and click “Format
Cells” option.

2. “Format Cells” dialog box will open. Now click on Font tab.
Change font colour, size or type according to your liking and
then click O.K.

20
Now this cell will look different from the rest of the cells. We can
apply formatting to multiple cells by selecting them. We will press
and hold the shift key and drag the mouse till the desired cell for
example H15. All cells from A1 to H15 will be selected. Now apply
desired font colour, size and style.

Note: A series of continuous cells is known as cell range. To select a


cell range click the first cell, press & hold the shift key and finally click
the last cell. All the cells from first to last will be selected.

Steps for Cell Formatting:

Alignment

1. Select the cell or range of cells and right click on them. Select
format cells option. Format cells dialog box appears, click on
Alignment tab.
2. In horizontal group click down arrow next to general.
3. Now click on center. Now we will see all the numbers and text
appears in center. Steps for alignment.

4. Presentation
26
We will learn in this lesson
• show how to make a presentation in PowerPoint;

• list ways to make presentation;

• insert pictures, graphs, written text in presentation;

• format a presentation.

Saving and Opening of a Presentation

To save a presentation, we must click on Microsoft button. We will


click on save as button from the scroll menu.
A new dialog box will be opened. We will type file name for
example, ‘Mathematics’. This means that we want to give the name
‘Mathematics’ to this file. If we want to give anothername, we can
type that too.

Now we will click on save button and our presentation will be saved
by the name’ Mathematics’.

27
After saving the presentation, we can continue to work on the blank
slides. If we do not want to work then we would close the
presentation by clicking on Microsoft Office Button and selecting
close menu from the scroll down list.

Now mathematics presentation has been closed. There are no slides


below ribbons in the PowerPoint screen.

If we want to see the presentation again, then we should reopen it.


Now we will click on Microsoft Office button and see file from list in
pane in menu section. There, on right is presentation named
‘Mathematics’ which has been earlier saved by us. By clicking on this
file, our presentation will be re-opened.

Inserting Slide

We are seeing the complete slide presentation and its small form on
the left side with sequence numbers 1, 2.
Now we will insert a new slide between first and second slide of our
presentation.

We will click on the first slide from the slide tab. We will see the first
slide on the main screen. After clicking on home tab, then on new
slide, a new slide will be inserted between first and second slide.

28
In this slide, we will write ‘Sender’ then our name. We will write’
National Institute of Schooling’ in the bottom.

Inserting Text, Graphics and Charts

We will save our presentation using the previous method.

To make our presentation attractive we will insert a picture in it.

We can insert the pictures or images present in our computer.

We have a picture of NIOS logo in our computer. This is the logo of


the organization. We will insert this picture.

When we click on second slide and we will see the big rectangle in
second slide.

We will click after National Institute of open schooling where the


picture is to be inserted.

Now click on the insert tab of ribbon. Now click on the picture button
and a new window will be opened. Now click library button, then
picture button and we see sample pictures button. On clicking it we
see something like fig. 5. This will show all the pictures which are
stored in our computer.

Click on the photo which is to be inserted (e.g. NIOS Logo). It gets


selected.

By clicking insert button in window, this picture will be inserted in


the slide.

29
We can insert chart in the same way.

Text Formatting

We can also format the word to make presentation attractive like


after clicking on the third slide, we will find the slide No. 3 on right
hand side.

We will select the word ‘uses’. Then we will click on the home tab.
We can change the font size, under lining, Italic, Bold etc.

After selecting ‘uses’ font size is selected 60 and italics and underline
button we will see changes as shown in Figure (Picture 7).

30
Presentation of Slides-Slide Show

We have learnt how to prepare a presentation. Now we will learn to


present it in front of others. The presentation which needs to be
shown is opened and animation tab is clicked.

31
There is “Advance Slide” button to the right of Transaction to this
slide group. The first option is On Mouse click. If this option is clicked
(Ö) then, the slides will move only after clicking the mouse. This is
what we need this. We will know about other methods later on. We
will see a tick mark by clicking on this option, (Ö) which can be
removed by clicking it again. Now we will present presentation. For
this we will click on slide show tab

Now, we will click on Start Slide Show and in the given options we
will click on From Beginning and thus our presentation will start

We will see that only first slide is seen on monitor’s screen. There is
nothing else on the screen. The whole screen is covered by first slide.

We will tell the audience about the slide. To navigate or move on to


second slide, we will click on mouse. There is no mouse pointer on

32
the screen. There is nothing wrong in it. When we click mouse, we
will move on next slide. It is because we had selected the option of
Mouse Click for slide show of our presentation.

In the same way we will move on the next side. When we mouse
click on the last slide, the presentation ends. We will see a black
screen there. Now click ‘Escape’ from keyboard to see the
PowerPoint screen back on the computer screen.

If we press escape key after any slide, the presentation will end at
that time. For this, we will open presentation and click on first
animations tab from ribbon.

Now click on second option in advance slide and click on option two
put 00:05 on the right side. This means that the computer will
automatically move on the next slide after 5 slides. We can add 10 on
place of 05 if we desire.

33
Now we will click on Apply To All option. This will set the time of 5
second to all the slides.

Now we have to save our presentation. We can also (do) apply


different time to all slides after to all by opening all the slide one
after the other instead of “Apply to All”.

34
5.Internet and its Advantages
We will learn in this lesson
 Connect to Internet?
 Know world wide web, website and web page.
 Open different websites, search information and read
newspaper.

How to Connect to Internet?

We can connect to Internet in two ways:

1. By calling the computer of Internet Service provider by our


phone line or connecting to our ISP directly.

Generally we connect to ISP through phone line and modem.


We have to pay some amount to these ISPs for using internet.

MODEM: Modem is a device that connects a computer with a


phone line. For ending information modem must be present
alongwith the sender’s computer as well as reciever’s
computer. Modems can be present inside the computer or can
be connected to the computer from outside.

35
Connecting to Internet using Data Card

Data Card is a device which helps us to connect to internet without


wires.
Use these steps to connect your computer to internet using data
card –
1. Insert Data Card in the USB port.
2. Install the software related to data card in your computer.
3. Double click the data card icon or press enter after placing the
cursor on this icon.
4. Click on connect button seen on the computer.
5. Now you can use internet in your computer.

World Wide Web


The collection of information available on internet is known as World
Wide Web. The information available on World Wide Web can be in
the form of text, picture and sound. World Wide Web is also known
as WEB.

Many people confuse internet with web but actually they are
different

Internet is a network of a group of computers whereas World Wide


Web is a service provided by internet.

Getting desired information through internet or web is known as


internet browsing or web browsing. Web browser is software which
helps us in using internet. In simple words, the software of web

36
browser connects computer with World Wide Web. Some of the
common examples of web browser are: internet explorer, Google
chrome, Mozilla, Firefox, opera and safari etc.

Website and Web page

Web page - It is a page full of information which is seen with the help
of web browser. This is an electronic page on web which has content,
picture and sound etc. We can easily navigate from one web page to
another.

Websites - websites are made up of one or more than one web


pages collected together. The first page of any website is known as
homepage. Every website has an address. This is known as website
address.

Search Engine

Search engine is a special website which discovers related websites


and web pages according to key words typed by the user.

Some of the main search engines are, rediff, yahoo, google, etc.

37
As we have learnt earlier that we need web browser program to
connect to world wide web of internet. Internet explorer is also a
popular web browser. We will follow the following steps to open a
website:

1. First of all check whether your internet connection is working


or not.

2. Click on the start button on computer desktop.

3. Take your pointer to all programs and see the list of all
programs and select internet explorer.

4. Now home page will open in internet explorer.

38
5. Type the address of website which you want to open in the blank
box on the screen. Type website address. If you want to see the
website of National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS); type
www.nios.com.

6. Now press enter or go button; now you will see the website of
NIOS. We can see other websites in the same manner.

Reading news paper and others

We can read any news paper easily on internet. We will follow the
following steps in this regard.

1. We will open web browser like internet explorer, Google chrome


on computer.
2. We will type the news related website address on the address bar
of the web browser.
3. Now click go or enter in the address bar.
4. We can read the desired news papers in Hindi/English.

39
6.Computer Security

We will learn in this lesson

After studying this lesson, you will be able to:

 Explain computer virus.


 Identify various dangers.
 Use methods to keep data and computer safe.

Computer Virus

Some illegal websites have the motto to destroy personal computer


or stop their functioning. This hampers our day to day life. These
websites have an aim to download their program in our computer.
This is done through email or software.

Some websites send emails to us with their program in their


attachment. This printed program can be a file, picture, music, video
game, software or video. This program includes our other files and
programs from our computer. Such programs are called virus.

Some virus destroys the data from our file. They delete some files.
This further stops us from doing work on another computer.

Some websites give us perks to download their program. This


spreads virus in our computer. Many websites follow the same
pattern. We should save our computer from such attacks. This is not
mandatory that all virus programs to work in the same way. After
downloading some virus gain information from address book. They
further get email address of our contacts. Then they send emails to

40
them on our behalf. Thus, the computers of our contacts also get
infected.

Some virus asks for password through mails. They have the excuse
that we have been a victim of a cyber attack. Internet explorer has
such systems to block them and follow the security code. Internet
service providers also save us from virus infected mails. Internet
service providers check the email id of the sender. If it finds
something suspicious like virus or phishing then it keeps it in junk or
spam folder. We should open such mails when we are fully satisfied.

If there is still virus in our computer then it should be treated. Our


file saves the data and it depends on the virus. Antivirus software can
take these viruses out of computer. Sometimes these files get
damaged. All the information is lost in files. The whole disk gets
damaged and program gets wiped out. If antivirus program finds
suspicions in a file, then this file is saved from virus in special folder.
This folder is known walnut. Sometimes antivirus could not wipe out
virus. In such a situation operating system and programs are
reloaded in computer.

Other types of Danger

Internet has changed our life. The danger has been widened with the
techniques of network and increased use of computer by persons
and in businesses. Virus attacks can completely damage the
computer. This includes destroying the files, crashing of hard disk,
damaging operating system etc. Virus attack destroys the secrecy of
the system. This also uses our computer as a weapon against another
computer. Now we will see what other kinds of attack are there.
1. We have a fear that our secret information like log on information
file, data etc can get lost and it damages our file and data. Therefore,
we should keep our password powerful and secure. You have learnt
about this earlier in this chapter.

41
2. We have learnt about virus before virus can come into our
computer by internet. To save our computer from internet virus, we
should use firewall and antivirus software. We should think twice
before opening an email from unknown person. If our known person
sends a suspicious mail, we should not open it. Our known person
should be asked if he had sent that mail or not.

3. We have learnt about hackers a lot. Hackers have an aim to have


an ownership on your computer secretly. They harm our computer
data, information, contacts etc. from programs. This is known as
attack. Therefore firewall is used in this regard. Firewall stops the
working of dangerous program.

4. In this way, they control the function of computer and send e-mail
from our side. It also sends information to other computers many
times. By getting or taking over functions of many computers they
can hijack network and websites. This is known as Denial of services.

5. Some mails take us to the website and give us perks like showing
attractive pictures. Sometimes they tell us that there are errors in
your bank account which are to be answered on websites. They take
us to fake websites which ask secret information like password.
These passwords are misused. These attacks are known as phishing.

We should never go to bank or secret website through e-mails or


other websites. We should type the address of websites in internet
explorer to navigate the website.

Other method to keep Computer and Data Safe

1. Make a difficult password using numbers, alphabets and special


symbols.
2. Keep changing your password from time to time.
3. Do not tell or write your password.

42
4. We should not visit bank and other important website through
unsafe sites or e-mail.
5. Do not keep one password for all sites. Make different passwords
for websites.
6. We should always keep firewall on. We should follow the rules of
firewall.
7. We should use authentic antivirus software which should be
updated from time to time.

43
7.E-mail
We will learn in the lesson
After studying this lesson, you will be able to:

 Identify the benefits of e-mail


 Create e-mail account
 Send message through e-mail
 Attach files

Benefits of e-mail

 E-mail reaches at a very fast speed


 The cost of sending an e-mail is very less
 There is no limited size of e-mail message.
 We can also send letters, reports, pictures etc with e-mail.
 If e-mail address is correct, then it reaches the right person.
 The presence of e-mail receiver is not required in sending e-
mail. It means that it is not necessary that the receiver is
working on his computer. The sent e-mail gets deposited in the
receiver's e-mail box. He can read these e-mails when he is
free.

E-mail Account

To send an e-mail, you should have your own e-mail account. There
are many websites on internet where you can create a free e-nail
account. You need not to pay anything for your e-mail account.
There sites are:
www.yahoo.com
www.gmail.com
www.hotmail.com
www.rediffmail.com

44
We can make our e-mail account on any site. However, it should be
noted that we should work regularly to keep our account working
otherwise our e-mail account could be cancelled or deactivated after
some time.

Let us learn to open an account on hotmail site


 Firstly, open browser and type www.hotmail.com on the
address bar and open its web page.
 You will find two buttons sign in and sign up. Of you have
already an count the type your user name and password and
click sign in to open a new account, press sign up button.

 Here you will see a new page which will look like a registration
form

 You have to fill your name, user id, password, date of birth,
phone number etc in the form

45
 If your user id is accepted by hotmail, then you will see a new
page with your name and user id.

 After that you can open your e-mail inbox and send new mail.
This helps you to know that your registration on hotmail.com has
been successfully done.

Sending e-mail Message

To make an e-mail message, we will click on the new button (see fig.
7.6). After clicking the button, we will see a blank form.

This has the following details:

To: here, we will type e-mail address f the sender. You can write the
name of many persons together. The e-mail messages typed here
will receive the message.

46
Cc: we will type that e-mail address to which we want to send the
copy of e-mail. Cc means carbon copy. We can write the names of
more than one person separated by coma (,).

Subject: the subject of e-mail is written in short here. If a person


message is written in mail then the subject is personal. If mail
addresses health, then the subject can be health.

Then a blank space is seen here where we can type the message. This
is known as body of e-mail.

After preparing the message, we will press end button. Then our e-

address. The whole process is shown below

 E-mail address of principal:
principalsunbeamschool@hotmail.com.
 See where application file is saved. See the name
application.doc. The extension name of the word file is .doc.
 When we open e-mail window, we will first type the e-mail
address of the principal.
 We can leave Cc blank because we need not send carbon copy
to anybody else.
 We can write 'application for admission' as subject.
 We will type the following message in the body of the e-mail:

Dear Sir,
I am attaching all the information relating to admission of my
daughter. Kindly do the needful.
Thank You
We will type this message in English

Some e-mail provider companies like gmail provides the facility of


typing e-mail in Hindi or any other Indian language.

Word) as an attachment to this mail. We will now click attachment
button which is shown by the icon of paper clip. We will now attach

sending the file should be on the receiver's computer too. This will
help him in opening the file or document easily. There is a paper clip
icon in the mail which tells us that there is an attached file in the
mail. Double clicking the file will open the file.

received by us. E-mail gives us facility that we cab reply to the mail
instantly or save it or reply later on.
