Text Formatting Without WordArt

Without WordArt, is it possible to do text formatting(like rotation of text) in MS Word Documents.Do we have any straight command Let us see here.

While preparing the MS Word document, if other readers pay attention to way of text formatting done by user then its a good point for document writer.

Without WordArt, text formatting cannot be done with single command.The following steps have to be used for our own text formatting.

First select the text characters for which formatting has to be done,apply your own font style,size and color to selected text.

The selected text is being cut using Ctrl + X keys or by cut option in Edit menu.

After this, in Edit menu select "Paste Special" option.In the Paste Special Window,select "Picture" option and paste the text in desired location.

Now your text portion has become a picture and it is being merged with document.

In the edge of picture, there are handles. You can use it for rotation, diminishing, elongating processes.

Thus now the selected text is formatted in your own way and can grab special attention of the document Readers..

Timing in Computers

We set the correct date and timings in computer for the first time.Then after it works fine.But when computer is switched off and restarted again, it displays the wrong timing.

Let us see the reasons for why there is wrong display of time in next boot..

In computers, there is an internal clock. This internal clock needs electricity.This clock is referred as Real Time Clock.

For this clock, a small battery gives power even if the computer is shutted down.

In computer motherboard, this battery resembles a one rupee coin which gives power supply to the Real Time Clock.

If this battery does not work in computer motherboard, then there can be wrong display in date and time.

When computer is turned off, then due to battery malfunction, the Real Time Clock stops functioning.

Thus if this small battery(resemblance of one rupee coin) is changed, then correct date and time can be obtained in every boot..

Printers and UPS

We are connecting computer components with UPS But why printer is noted connected to UPS.By connecting, do printers become problematic ah.. Let us see the reason..

We can connect printer to UPS but subjected to some conditions. Compared to Computer,Modem,Telephones, Printers consumes more electricity for its printing process.

Especially Laser and Inkjet printers need more electricity. In home and some small organizations one computer and printer is used. So for this process UPS of power capacity 0.6 KVA to 1 KVA is being used.

If power cut occurs, and if the printer is being used then at a time power supply to both computer components and printer cannot be provided by UPS.

Moreover in computers, we may be handling/viewing some data information,if power shut down occurs then these data cannot be saved (or sometimes programs can crash).

So for these reasons,simply computer is being connected to UPS without printers. If higher end UPS of power capacity 5 KVA is used, then both computer and printed can be connected to UPS.

Thus we must be aware about power capacity of our UPS. By knowing the exact capacity (in KVA) then accordingly the computer components and printers can be connected to UPS without any problems..
