Structures
The "Structures" section contains the formatting tools you will use to create equations. Each section contains 'structures' which are like a template with one or more symbols, and one or more placeholders for you to place your mathematical content into.
For example, to create a fraction, choose "Fraction" then the first template. You will see a fraction where the numerator and denominator are both boxes with dotted lines. You will place your content in the place of these boxes.
The "Matrix" structures are not only useful for true matrices and arrays, but can also be used to align certain types of equations and to place notes in and around equations.
Practical exercises:
Exercise 1
1) Load Microsoft Word.
2) Type the following text :
The Fairy Tales we deserve
The Disney Stories that enchant us today are drawn from ancient, worldwide folk tradition. Some folklorists believe that "Cinderella" in its most basic form--neglected youngest child is tested, found worthy, rewarded with mate--dates back to the Old Stone Age.
Cinderella
Folk versions of "Cinderella" were related in hundreds of societies. In these stories, the "test" for the unfortunate child is different. Our familiar Cinderella is beautiful and has tiny feet. By contrast, the Japanese Cinderella gets her Prince by writing a prize-winning poem.
Other fairytales include :
Little Red Riding Hood
Three Little Pigs
Beauty and the Beas
Save your work as “ Fairytales” on my Desktop.

Add a header to the document and write your Name and Surname. 13) Change the bullets points to a numbered list.
Exercise 2
Open a blank MS Word document and type the text.
A computer is a device that accepts information (in the form of digitalized data) and manipulates it for some result based on a program or sequence of instructions on how the data is to be processed. Complex computers also include the means for storing data (including the program, which is also a form of data) for some necessary duration. A program may be invariable and built into the computer (and called logic circuitry as it is on microprocessors) or different programs may be provided to the computer (loaded into its storage and then started by an administrator or user). Today's computers have both kinds of programming.
Follow the instructions below:
Copy the last sentence Today's computers have both kinds of programming. to the beginning of the first paragraph.
Change the typeface of the entire document to 11 point Verdana.
Change all the word occurrences of computer to workstation.
Change the spacing of the entire document from single spacing to 1.5.
Change the alignment of the entire document to Justify.
Set the phrases logic circuitry and microprocessors in Italic.
Insert a text box and move the whole paragraph into the text box.
Fill the text box with Blue colour.
Create a cover page that precedes the document. Set the title: What is a computer? in 26 point Tahoma, Bold and Center it.
Align your name to the bottom right of the cover page in 12 point Tahoma.
Set the header as INFOL3002 Computer Applications - MS Word Lab Assignment in 10 point Tahoma.
Set the footer as CDP, MMU in 10 point Tahoma.
Save the document as: Computer.doc on the desktop.
Exercise 3
1.Open a new document and type the following memo.
This is just a short note to help you get acquainted with the insertion and replacement Modes in Word for Windows. When the editing to be done results in more characters
than currently exist, you want to be in the insertion mode when making the change.
On the other hand, when the editing to be done contains the same or fewer characters, the replacement mode is best. And when replacing characters, it is most efficient to use the mouse to select the characters to be deleted and then just type the new characters; the selected characters are automatically deleted and the new characters typed take their place.
2. Make the following changes to the text:
Select the text Your name and replace it with your name.
Replace May 31, 1999 with the current date.
Insert the phrase one or in the second line so that the text reads ... one or more characters than currently exist.
Delete the word And from the fourth sentence in the fifth line, then change the
in when to a capital letter to begin the sentence.
Change the phrase most efficient to best.
Justify the paragraph.
Change the typeface of the entire document to 12 point Arial.
