  • Welcome to Computer Basics
    Computer Basics Instructor's Guide 1 COMPUTER BASICS To the Instructor Because of time constraints and an understanding that the trainees will probably come to the course with widely varying skills levels, the focus of this component is only on the basics. Hence, the course begins with instruction on computer components and peripheral devices, and restricts further instruction to the three most widely used software areas: the windows operating system, word processing and using the Internet. The course uses lectures, interactive activities, and exercises at the computer to assure accomplishment of stated goals and objectives. Because of the complexity of the computer and the initial fear experienced by so many, instructor dedication and patience are vital to the success of the trainee in this course. It is expected that many of the trainees will begin at “ground zero,” but all should have developed a certain level of proficiency in using the computer, by the end of the course. 2 COMPUTER BASICS Overview Computers have become an essential part of today's workplace. Employees must know computer basics to accomplish their daily tasks. This mini course was developed with the beginner in mind and is designed to provide WTP trainees with basic knowledge of computer hardware, some software applications, basic knowledge of how a computer works, and to give them hands-on experience in its use. The course is designed to “answer such basic questions as what personal computers are and what they can do,” and to assist WTP trainees in mastering the basics. The PC Novice dictionary defines a computer as a machine that accepts input, processes it according to specified rules, and produces output.

Usually this leads to their limited integration to society as well as limited unassisted control over the environment. The questions “How can someone with severe motor-impairments perform mouse pointer control as accurately and efficiently as an able-bodied person?” and “How can these interactions be advanced through use of Computational Intelligence (CI)?” are the driving forces behind the research described in this paper.

    Microsoft Excel 2013: Mouse Pointers & Cursor Movements As you move the mouse over the Excel window it changes shape to indicate the availability of different functions. The five main shapes are shown in the diagram below. General pointer for selecting cells singly or in groups Pointer used at bottom right of selection to extend and fill data. Selected cells are shown by means of a heavy border as shown. The extension point is at the bottom right of the border and is a detached square. Insertion point. When pointer is like this you may type in text in this area. You must double click the left mouse button to move the cursor (a flashing vertical line) into the cell area. Insertion and editing can then be done in the normal way. Pointer for menus or moving a selection. When Copying a selection a small cross appears Used where you can change the dimensions of a Row or column. This pointer indicates that you can drag a boundary in the direction of the arrows. 1 What do the different mouse pointer shapes mean in Microsoft Excel? The mouse pointer changes shape in Microsoft Excel depending upon the context. The six shapes are as follows: Used for selecting cells The I-beam which indicates the cursor position when editing a cell entry. The fill handle. Used for copying formula or extending a data series.

  • Word 2016: Working with Tables
    Word 2016: Working with Tables A table is made up of rows and columns. The intersection of a row and column is called a cell. Tables are often used to organize and present information, but they have a variety of uses as well. You can use tables to align numbers and create interesting page layouts. Creating a Table 1) Click the Insert tab on the Ribbon 2) Click on Table 3) Highlight the number of columns and rows you’d like OR 4) Click Insert Table 5) Click the arrows to select the desired number of columns 6) Click the arrows to select the desired number of rows 7) Click OK Navigating in a Table Please see below to learn how to move around within a table. Action Description Tab key To move from one cell in the table to another. When you reach the last cell in a table, pressing the Tab key will create a new row. Shift +Tab keys To move one cell backward in a table. Arrow keys Allow you to move left, right, up and down. 4 - 17 1 Selecting All or Part of a Table There are times you want to select a single cell, an entire row or column, multiple rows or columns, or an entire table. Selecting an Individual Cell To select an individual cell, move the mouse to the left side of the cell until you see it turn into a black arrow that points up and to the right. Click in the cell at that point to select it. Selecting Rows and Columns To select a row in a table, move the cursor to the left of the row until it turns into a white arrow pointing up and to the right, as shown below.

  • Cursor Utilities 8
    CHAPTER 8 Cursor Utilities 8 This chapter describes the utilities that your application uses to draw and manipulate the cursor on the screen. You should read this chapter to find out how to implement cursors in your application. For example, you should change the arrow cursor to an I-beam cursor when it’s over text and to an animated cursor when a medium-length process is under way. Cursors are defined in resources; the routines in this chapter automatically call the Resource Manager as necessary. For more information about resources, see the chapter “Resource Manager” in Inside Macintosh: More Macintosh Toolbox. Color cursors are 8 defined in resources as well, though they use Color QuickDraw. For information about Color QuickDraw, see the chapter “Color QuickDraw” in this book. Cursor Utilities This chapter describes how to ■ create and display black-and-white and color cursors ■ change the cursor’s shape over different areas on the screen ■ display an animated cursor About the Cursor 8 A cursor is a 256-pixel, black-and-white image in a 16-by-16 pixel square usually defined by an application in a cursor ('CURS') resource. The cursor is an integral part of the Macintosh user interface. The user manipulates the cursor with the mouse to select objects or areas on the screen. (It appears only on the screen and never in an offscreen graphics port.) The user moves the cursor across the screen by moving the mouse. Most actions take place only when the user positions the cursor over an object on the screen, then clicks (presses and releases the mouse button).

  • Acme: a User Interface for Programmers Rob Pike AT&T Bell Laboratories Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974
    Acme: A User Interface for Programmers Rob Pike AT&T Bell Laboratories Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974 ABSTRACT A hybrid of window system, shell, and editor, Acme gives text-oriented applications a clean, expressive, and consistent style of interaction. Traditional window systems support inter- active client programs and offer libraries of pre-defined operations such as pop-up menus and buttons to promote a consistent user interface among the clients. Acme instead provides its clients with a fixed user interface and simple conventions to encourage its uniform use. Clients access the facilities of Acme through a file system interface; Acme is in part a file server that exports device-like files that may be manipulated to access and control the contents of its win- dows. Written in a concurrent programming language, Acme is structured as a set of communi- cating processes that neatly subdivide the various aspects of its tasks: display management, input, file server, and so on. Acme attaches distinct functions to the three mouse buttons: the left selects text; the mid- dle executes textual commands; and the right combines context search and file opening functions to integrate the various applications and files in the system. Acme works well enough to have developed a community that uses it exclusively. Although Acme discourages the traditional style of interaction based on typescript windows— teletypes—its users find Acme’s other services render typescripts obsolete. History and motivation The usual typescript style of interaction with Unix and its relatives is an old one. The typescript—an inter- mingling of textual commands and their output—originates with the scrolls of paper on teletypes.
