Word Processors known as document preparation system. It is a computer application used for the production including composition, editing, formatting, and possibly printing; of any sort printable material. It may also refer to an obsolete type of stand-alone office machine combining the keyboard text-entry and printing functions of an electric typewriter with a dedicated computer for the editing of text. Although features and design varied between manufacturers and models, with new features added as technology advanced, word processors for several years usually featured a monochrome display and the ability to save documents on memory cards or diskettes.
The words processors have different kinds which are; Microsoft Word, AbiWord, Kword, LyX, MacWrite II, Wordstar.
Microsoft Word is the most widely used computer word processing system.
AbiWord is a free software word processor. It was originally started by SourceGear Corporation as the first component of AbiSuite, as part of a plan to create a full Office Suite that would be Free Software. AbiWord is part of GNOME Office, a collection of office applications with some degree of integration.
Features, AbiWord has a comprehensive language database with multiple languages. It also has support for tables and footnotes, as well as a spell checker and an advanced grammar checking system.
Interface, AbiWord has a similar user interface to classic versions (pre-Office 2007) of Microsoft Word, which is intended to ease migration for new users.
File Formats, AbiWord is packaged with several import/export filters, including HTML, Microsoft Word (DOC), Office Open XML (DOCX), OpenDocument (ODT) and Rich Text Format (RTF). LaTeX is supported for export only. Plug-in filters are available to deal with many other formats, notably WordPerfect documents. The native file format, .abw, uses XML, so as to mitigate vendor lock-in concerns with respect to interoperability and also digital archiving.
Version Differences, AbiWord 2.6.x does not support Windows 9x. Users of these systems can still use AbiWord 2.4.6.
KWord is a free word processor, a member of the KOffice project and of the K Desktop Environment. The text-layout scheme in KWord is based on frames, making it similar to Adobe Frame Maker. These can be placed anywhere on the page, and can incorporate text, graphics and embedded objects. Each new page is a new frame, but the text is able to flow through KWord’s ability to link frames together. The use of frames means that complex graphical layouts can be achieved relatively easily in KWord.
LYX may also refer to the IATA airport code for Lydd Airport, which is operated by London Ashford Airpor LyX is designed for authors who want professional output with a minimum of effort and without becoming specialists in typesetting. The job of typesetting is done mostly by the computer, following a predefined set of rules called a style, and not by the author. Specific knowledge of the LaTeX document processing system is not necessary but may improve editing with LyX significantly for specialist purposes. It is a document processor following the self-coined "what you see is what you mean" paradigm (WYSIWYM), as opposed to the WYSIWYG ideas used by word processors. This means that the user only has to care about the structure and content of the text, while the formatting is done by LaTeX, an advanced typesetting system.
MacWrite II was the first really new version of the software. The first version of MacWrite was actually rather limited, and could handle only a few pages of text before running into performance problems. Nevertheless, it increased user expectations from a word processing program.
WordStar was originally developed for CP/M. It was the most feature-rich and easy-to-use word processor available for this operating system, and became a de facto standard. WordStar is still considered by many to be one of the best examples of a "writing program. Because it was designed for text-only display devices with only a single, functional typeface, the primary focus was on the text, without direct onscreen WYSIWYG formatting. Because typesetting and layout were secondary or tertiary functions left for after the document was written, edited, and proofread, the writer was not distracted by the many formatting possibilities presented by later word processors.

GRAPHICS TABLETS
GRAPHICS TABLTES
Graphics Tablet also called pen pad consists of a flat surface upon which the user may draw an image using an attached stylus, a pen-like drawing apparatus. The image generally does not appear on the tablet itself but, rather, is displayed on the computer monitor. Some tablets however, come as a functioning secondary computer screen that you can interact with directly using the stylus. Some tablets are intended as a general replacement for a mouse as the primary pointing and navigation device for desktop computers. It also a common tool of experimental electronic performances where drawn shapes and lines along with position, velocity and direction can be measured by software patches which are designed to interpret these variables and convert them into sounds, projected colours, etc.
The first electronic handwriting tablet was the Telautograph. Styalator was the first graphic tablet resembling contemporary tablets and used for handwriting recognition by a computer. The RAND Tablet also known as the Grafacon for Graphic Converter employed a grid of wires under the surface of the pad that encoded horizontal and vertical coordinates in a small magnetic signal. The stylus would receive the magnetic signal, which could then be decoded back as coordinate information.
Summagraphics also made an OEM version of its BitPad which was sold by Apple Computer as an accessory to their Apple II. These tablets used a magnetostriction technology which used wires made of a special alloy stretched over a solid substrate to accurately locate the tip of a stylus or the center of a digitizer cursor on the surface of the tablet. This technology also allowed Proximity or Z axis measurement.
There have been many attempts to categorize the technologies that have been used for graphics tablets. Some of the categories used include; Passive Tablets, Active Tablets, Optical tablets, Acoustic tablets, Electromagnetic tablets, Capacitative tablets. Let us know if what are those categories mean.
The Passive Tablets make use of electromagnetic induction technology, where the horizontal and vertical wires of the tablet operate as both transmitting and receiving coils as opposed to the wires of the RAND Tablet which only transmit. The tablet generates an electromagnetic signal, which is received by the LC circuit in the pen. The wires in the tablet then change to a receiving mode and read the signal generated by the pen. Modern arrangements also provide pressure sensitivity and one or more switches (similar to the buttons on a mouse), with the electronics for this information present in the pen itself, not the tablet. On older tablets, changing the pressure on the pen nub or pressing a switch changed the properties of the LC circuit, affecting the signal generated by the pen, which modern ones often encode a digital data stream onto the signal. By using electromagnetic signals, the tablet is able to sense the stylus position without the stylus having to even touch the surface, and powering the pen with this signal means that devices used with the tablet never need batteries. The Active tablets differ in that the stylus used contains self-powered electronics that generate and transmit a signal to the tablet. These pens rely on an internal battery rather than the tablet for their power, resulting in a bulkier pen. Eliminating the need to power the pen means that such tablets may listen for pen signals constantly, as they do not have to alternate between transmit and receive modes, which can result in less jitter. Optical tablets operate by a very small digital camera in the pen, and then doing pattern matching on the image of the paper. The Acoustic tablets early models were described as spark tablets a small sound generator was mounted in the stylus, and the acoustic signal picked up by two microphones placed near the writing surface. Electromagnetic tablets the Wacom is one example of a graphics tablet that works by generating and detecting an electromagnetic signal in the Wacom design, the signal is generated by the pen, and detected by a grid of wires in the tablet. Other designs such as those by Pencept generate a signal in the grid of wires in the tablet, and detect it in the pen. Capacitative tablets have also been designed to use an electrostatic or capacitative signal. Scriptel's designs are one example of a high-performance tablet detecting an electrostatic signal. Unlike the type of capacitative design used for touch screens, the Scriptel design is able to detect the position of the pen while it is in proximity to the tablet.

ASSEMBLING A COMPUTER
ASSEMBLING A COMPUTER
Here are the basic parts that you need to build a computer. There is a MOTHER BOARD, a PROCESSOR, a RAM and a VIODEO CARD. There is a CASE, a POWER SUPPLY to hold it and there is a drives which is the HARD DRIVE and an OPTICAL DRIVE.
In Step one, we are going to take the Processor and the RAM to add it on the Mother Board. The processor comes with its own fan and on the processor there is a one corner mark you can look at the socket and there will be one corner on the socket that is marked for it as well. So we’ll just drop the chip right into this spot on the socket it’s going to literally fall right into the holes of that socket you don’t need to put pressure on it, it’s just going to fall right in and you could just pinch it into place with the little lever arm. Now with the heat sync or the fan all you have to do is to put it in place on the top of the processor and in this case twist the little flange beside it to make it in place and do it also in the other side and there is a cam to lock it in position, so you’re going to twist that cam to lock it. And that fan needs some power there’s got to have a little socket somewhere near the CPU. And the last step is the RAM, your mother board could probably hold 2 to 4 RAMs. So we are going to look on the board and find the module marked one and stick the RAM into that socket and its going to take a firm pressure to sit that. So as you’re pushing on it, the little locking arm on both sides of the socket will rotate as you push it in to the socket and you really need to put pressure on it but just make sure that it’s all the way in place and lock it.
And now is what we have is a Mother board with processor, cooling fan and a RAM ready to go and install inside the case.
In this next step we are going to put all these parts and get them mounted inside the case. So the power supply needs to go inside and this cover plate that came with the mother board needs to go in its appropriate hole in the case. The mother board needs to go inside so we are going add the little things called standoffs to hold the motherboard in the right position and then there are about 15 wires here that will connect to the mother board and we’re going to do that one at a time.
What we are going to do here is we’re going to put the mother board and the power supply inside the case and get it all bolted down. So again there is a cover plate that came with the mother board and it fits into a specific hole. So the first thing is you just drop that in and just like the ram you just have to apply enough pressure and in this case you are going to hear a clank and if you hear a clank it that it’s already in place. Now the next thing is the mother board it needs to screw in to this case and it needs to held about quarter of an inch away from the case so none of these little connectors actually touch the case with the set of some brass spacers that will come with the mother board. Now every mother board is different so get the mother into the case and see which wholes on the mother board are actually going to match up with the wholes that already been drilled into the case. So you put the mother board in and see which holes lined up with and then pull the mother board back out and drop the spacers in so we got the spacers in then drop the mother board in and we need to line it up with the cover plate that we installed and we have to lineup the screw holes with the spacers that we have just putted in place. With the case we have a whole bag with little screws and you just can sort through those screws and find the ones that fit into the spacers and go ahead and just screw the mother board down you don’t want to tort this down you just need to snug it in and that will be enough to hold the mother board in place. One thing you have to be careful while you are inserting these screws you want to get them in the holes and not have them running all over the board scratching it up because there’s some really fine wires that have been etched into the board and if you scratch them you could less the performance of the mother board down. Now we’ve got the mother board screwed into place and we are ready to add the power supply it’s got to sides the fan side and the wire side. So the wires are going inside the case and the fan will going to point outside. There is only one way for it to go in there so you just slide it on to its brackets and there has 4 screws that either came with the case or came with the power supply that you will use to connect it into the case and you just need to screw it in snug them so that nothing will move or shake it around and the power supply is ready to go.
When you look at the wires that came out of that power supply there is one big obvious connector and there is only one place that, that big connector can go on the mother board so you plug that in on the appropriate slot on the mother board. And then there is another small four pin connector that gives power to the CPU and there is only one place to on the mother board so just find its place and line it up and both connectors there only one way that they can fit or they will have obvious ports for you to avoid mistakes in connecting the wires, so they will just snap right into its correct place.
And what we’re left with then is with these 15 wires it may be confusing but there will be a manual for you to connect the remaining wires. So there is one for the panel USB port, there one for panel audio and five for the little LAD’s and switches that are on front of the case. So you just find the appropriate location for each of those to fit on the mother board and manual is really going to help you because it has a page that tells you exactly what to do. Each of the leads coming out of the case is labeled and each of the port on the mother board is labeled and you just us the manual, plug it in where it needs to go.
All that is left now is the fans in these case has a power supply fan but also has two extra case fans to keep the air circulating and there is just a little past through connector that you plugged in to any of the leads that are coming out of the power supply and that will give the fan’s power so you just find the available power sockets coming from the power supply and plug it in and again there is only one way for them to go and plug them to the obvious ports. At this point the mother board, power supply and all the connections are ready all we have to do is add a couple of drives to this box and we will be ready to plug it in.
The last thing we’re going to do inside the case is we are going to install the hard disk and the CD ROM drive and this is really straight forward. In the case of the hard disk, there is actually a bracket that pulls out and it’s got four rubber grummet on the bottom of it and those rubber grummet line up with four holes at the bottom of the hard disk drive and the case has come with four special screws that are shape just right to punch to that grummet and draw it in the bottom of the hard disk drive. So we are going to put the four screws in and drop the hard disk back and the purpose slot. Snap and it is in. there is a set of jumpers on the back that we have to set and taking care of it. We have to supply power to this drive. Any of the power cords those are available coming out from the power supply. They are all the same then if they fit on the hole then it’s good to go. And we need the cable, the case cable, on one side of the cable there is red stripes and that marks pin one. When you look on the mother board, there is going to have a marker for pin one as well. So you just plug it in the available IDE connector lining the red stripes up with pin one and then insert it on the back of the drive and there is only one way you can go on the back of the drive. With the cable in place, power in place, the jumper set up properly, the screws in place. That drive is secure and ready to go.
We are going to do the same thing with the CD drive; we have already set the jumper. It is going to fit in the firm of the case and we are just going to pop out one of this phase place to make room for it. Slides ride in and it would be obvious how the screws plug in and they are just in one of the line so that they are going to place closer. You just slide it in and out to get in the right spot. And then the drive came with four screws and you put one of it down its place. Once again, we are going to find an available power connector and plug it right in. we are going to take the cable that came with the drive. And making sure to put the red stripes in pin one and you just push it in the mother board. Make sure that it sealed all the way down and that socket. There is one extra thing that you can do with the CD drive. There is a special audio cable and there is a place for you to plug in at the back of the drive and place for it to plug it in the mother board. You just hook that up, roll it quick. With the drives is in place, all its left is the video card. There is only one slot in the mother board so you just look at the mother board and find that slot. And then line the card up on both ends and push it in its place. There is also a AGB connector that needs a little thumbs slide for you to lock it. This machine is ready to go, we can put the case up and our next step would be to put all the settings and load the operating system to clearly function the machine.
Here are the basic parts that you need to build a computer. There is a MOTHER BOARD, a PROCESSOR, a RAM and a VIODEO CARD. There is a CASE, a POWER SUPPLY to hold it and there is a drives which is the HARD DRIVE and an OPTICAL DRIVE.
In Step one, we are going to take the Processor and the RAM to add it on the Mother Board.

All that is left now is the fans in these case has a power supply fan but also has two extra case fans to keep the air circulating and there is just a little past through connector that you plugged in to any of the leads that are coming out of the power supply and that will give the fan’s power so you just find the available power sockets coming from the power supply and plug it in and again there is only one way for them to go and plug them to the obvious ports. At this point the mother board, power supply and all the connections are ready all we have to do is add a couple of drives to this box and we will be ready to plug it in.
The last thing we’re going to do inside the case is we are going to install the hard disk and the CD ROM drive and this is really straight forward. In the case of the hard disk, there is actually a bracket that pulls out and it’s got four rubber grummet on the bottom of it and those rubber grummet line up with four holes at the bottom of the hard disk drive and the case has come with four special screws that are shape just right to punch to that grummet and draw it in the bottom of the hard disk drive. So we are going to put the four screws in and drop the hard disk back and the purpose slot. Snap and it is in. there is a set of jumpers on the back that we have to set and taking care of it. We have to supply power to this drive. Any of the power cords those are available coming out from the power supply. They are all the same then if they fit on the hole then it’s good to go. And we need the cable, the case cable, on one side of the cable there is red stripes and that marks pin one. When you look on the mother board, there is going to have a marker for pin one as well. So you just plug it in the available IDE connector lining the red stripes up with pin one and then insert it on the back of the drive and there is only one way you can go on the back of the drive. With the cable in place, power in place, the jumper set up properly, the screws in place. That drive is secure and ready to go.
We are going to do the same thing with the CD drive; we have already set the jumper. It is going to fit in the firm of the case and we are just going to pop out one of this phase place to make room for it. Slides ride in and it would be obvious how the screws plug in and they are just in one of the line so that they are going to place closer. You just slide it in and out to get in the right spot. And then the drive came with four screws and you put one of it down its place. Once again, we are going to find an available power connector and plug it right in. we are going to take the cable that came with the drive. And making sure to put the red stripes in pin one and you just push it in the mother board. Make sure that it sealed all the way down and that socket. There is one extra thing that you can do with the CD drive. There is a special audio cable and there is a place for you to plug in at the back of the drive and place for it to plug it in the mother board. You just hook that up, roll it quick. With the drives is in place, all its left is the video card. There is only one slot in the mother board so you just look at the mother board and find that slot. And then line the card up on both ends and push it in its place. There is also a AGB connector that needs a little thumbs slide for you to lock it. This machine is ready to go, we can put the case up and our next step would be to put all the settings and load the operating system to clearly function the machine.
