Feet should be pointing in front of you, resting full feet on the floor. comfortable chair height means your eyes are looking straight at the upper third of the screen and your elbows are at a 90 degree angle.

The stability of your computer is enhanced when you first close all programs before shutting down the power. Most computers have an icon in the lower left or right corner that includes a "power off" button. On pre-2007 computers, there was often a physical button that was pushed to start and turn off a system.

4e

Dar el nuevo documento un nombre apropiado y grabarlo en el archivo apropiado del sistema de almacenamiento de la computadora. Explicar por qué es importante asegurarse de grabar un documento continuamente y hacer un respaldo cuando se está trabajando.

These days, the previous requirement and this one are simultaneous actions, so instructions for this requirement are given above. NEVER leave a document untitled. It will make it impossible to find later. MS Word and Google Docs will select a title from the first line of text in most cases, but this is seldom the best title for the document.

It is IMPORTANT that files are saved so that you don't lose data. Once a file is saved initially (MS Word) most current version will continue to auto save about every 5 minutes. Google Suite program auto update every few seconds, and have a very robust "document changes" feature so that you can see how the document has been edited over time.

4f

Asegurar que el documento tiene un nombre y la última revisión está claramente anotada en el documento. Explicar por qué es importante hacer esto.

These days this is depreciated since version history is available within digital documents and most documents no longer get printed. Most remain digital their entire lives. IF a document history is important, you can create a field that auto updates revisions. This function is not readily available in modern MS Word or Google Docs.

5

Crear un documento que consiste en 800 palabras o más y que demuestra habilidad en aplicar cada uno de los siguientes. Guardar e imprimir el documento. Hacer una copia de seguridad.

With various word processing software available and regular updates being issued to that software it is not practical for this answer book to provide comprehensive instructions on these steps. The built in helps in the software should make anything clear you do not understand.

While it seems a little silly to be teaching our "born on computers" Pathfinders how to use a computer, the correct use of word processing software to make documents attractive is a skill often missing in student's lives. Many honors require written reports so why not have the Pathfinders work on the written material for another honor while learning word processing skills.

NOTE: If this honor is being taught as a stand-alone, there is no need for this text to be original. Instead, legal content can be copied from the web (like wikipedia) and then word processing can be applied to make it beautiful. WORD PROCESSING is the subject of this honor.

Guardar el documento en el archivo apropiado. Crear un nuevo archivo si es mejor.

See requirement #4 for how to do this.

Google Docs - File | Page Setup. On the left side is the option for landscape. The default is portrait. Note that Portrait is taller than wide, whie landscape is wider than tall. If you have an orientation that is preferred (usually Portrait for school/work projects) check the box that says "default for my documents.

iii

Agregar un encabezado y pie de página

Google Docs: In the menu select Format | Headers and Footers and enter text. OR double click in the top 1/2 inch of a document or the bottom 1/2 inch of the footer, and then enter your text.

You use headers and footers if you want specific words to appear on all pages. For example a title, or the last name of the author. You can combine this with page numbers (Format | page numbers) Typically, page numbers do not appear on the first page of a paper. Thus, you should check the box "different on first page."

iv

Configurar los márgenes

Google Docs - File | Page Setup. The right side of the page allows you to input numbers. These numbers are all in inches. Default is 1.0 for Top, bottom, left, and right. Some teacher ask for your papers to have a 1.5 left margin. Remember this is in inches. If you are using a metric system in your school/club, please convert. 2.4 cm=1 inch.

Corregir ortografía y gramática usando el corrector ortográfico

In MS Word, green underlines mean there may be better ways to fix grammar in your sentence. Red underlines mean the word is misspelled. However, be aware that there,their, and they're are all spelled correctly but may not be caught by the grammar checker.

Google Docs also shows a red line for misspelled words. However, it depends on extensions you can install, to catch grammar errors.

There are apps such as grammarly that are better at catching such errors. However, the beautiful and well educated mind God gave you and that has learned a lot about grammar at school is the BEST source for correct grammar and spelling error-checks.

iv

Buscar y reemplazar palabras o texto

5d

Insertar en un documento:

i

Una tabla de contenido con un mínimo de 3 columnas y 5 filas

Una imagen

Wrapping the image with text, sizing the image to take up no more than 1/3 of the page and other such "visual" features are essential.

BE SURE to show your Pathfinders how to use LEGAL images in their publications. Just because an image is no the internet doesn't mean it is free to use in your publication. If using MS Word or Google Docs, images available under "insert image from web" are all "Creative Commons" and thus free to use. If inserting from your own computer, be sure you have the right to use those images.
