  1. 3.3.6: Application software used for presentation and communication of data Reformatting Documents

  2. This presentation aims to • Help you describe how a document can be reformatted to suit the needs of a given application.

  3. Introduction • There are lots of different types of documents in the world. • Legal • Informal • Formal • Memos • Posters • Leaflets • …etc… • In order to create these documents you need to be able to format your document from the normal pre-set document you get when you load up your application.

  4. Introduction • The basic things you can reformat include: • Page size, settings and orientation • Text position, size and style

  5. Introduction • Some applications provide you with some templates to select from when you start the application. This screenshot is taken from MS Publisher 2010 (beta).

  6. Introduction • When you select a template the application automatically formats the document. This screenshot shows the various sizes of business cards. As you can see, different countries have different standards.

  7. Introduction • When templates are not available you have to reformat the document manually. • The next few slides will be showing examples taken from MS Word 2010 (beta).

  8. Page size, settings and orientation • In MS Word 2010, there is a dedicated tab which gives you access to different document settings.

  9. Margins • You can change how close to the edge text will be. • Note: not all printers can print to the very edge of the paper.

  10. Orientation • You can change the direction the page faces. • Portrait (taller) • Landscape (wider)

  11. Size • You can change the size of the paper too. • Remember, not all printers can support large sizes, but many home printers can support smaller sizes (such as A5 and envelopes).

  12. Text position, size and style • In MS Word 2010, there is a dedicated tab which gives you access to different text settings.

  13. Text position • Also known as text alignment. • Text can be aligned to the left, centre and to the right. • Text can also be aligned using the ‘justified’ setting.
