Word Processing 文字处理

Word processing is so much more than just learning how to use a program such as Microsoft Word or Apple’s Pages. It is about learning transferable skills that leverage the power of a word processor to create rich documents that people want to read. In this unit you will learn how to use a number of features in a word processor that are essential to things you would need across multiple subject areas in school. You will learn how to create MLA style documents, use a formula or LaTeX editor, and how to label diagrams. By the end of this unit of study you will be able to create properly formatted research papers for your humanities classes, formate equations for math class, write chemical equations for science, and even create a school newspaper.

文字处理不仅仅是学习如何使用像微软word或苹果 pages等程序,而且要学习各种技能。在本单元中,你将学习如何在文字处理器中使用一些功能,这些功能对于你在学校其他学科领域也是至关重要的,比如如何创建MLA格式的文档,使用公式或LaTeX编辑器,以及如何标记图表。在本单元结束时,你将能在人文课上撰写格式正确的研究论文,在数学课上编写方程式,在科学撰写化学方程式,甚至制作校报。

Layout 页面布局

Notice: Please be advised that the version of Microsoft Office that is being shown in these examples is Microsoft Word 2007 and is running on Windows XP. Despite being an older build of the software many standardize exams still default to this particular version; therefore it can be useful for students to familiarize themselves with the major aspects of the software that are illustrated here. However, video tutorials for future projects will use the most recent addition of O365.
