Fragments from the presentation

Creating and editing documents

To process textual information on a computer, general-purpose applications are used - text editors that allow you to create, edit, format, save and print text

Document creation
  • Document creation begins with choosing a template.
  • To create documents with a complex structure, use Wizards
  • In the process of creating a document in a text editor, the user enters characters from the keyboard
Document editing
  • Document editing is done by copying, moving or deleting selected characters or text fragments.
  • To replace one word that occurs repeatedly with another: [Edit - Replace]
Inserting objects into a document

The mechanism of embedding and embedding objects (OLE - Object Linking Embedding) allows you to copy and paste objects from one application to another [Insert - Object]

Spelling and syntax checking
  • To check spelling and syntax, special software modules are used, which are included in word processors and editorial and publishing systems.
  • The most common typos are corrected by the AutoCorrect function

Text file formats

  • The file format determines how text is stored in the file
  • To convert a text file from one format to another, use converter programs
Saving and opening a document in a specific format
  • Enter the command [File - Save As]
  • Give the document a name
  • Select the required format from the list
Selecting page options
  • There are two possible page orientations: portrait and landscape.
  • On the page you can set the required field sizes, use headers and footers [File - Page settings]
  • Document pages need to be numbered [Insert - Page Numbers]
Formatting paragraphs

In computer documents, a paragraph is any text ending with an end-of-paragraph control character (marker). Entering the end of a paragraph is provided by pressing (Enter).

Align paragraphs

Alignment reflects the position of the text relative to the page margins. There are four commonly used methods for aligning paragraphs:

  • Along the left edge - the left edge is even, and the right edge is torn.
  • Center - Both edges are jagged, but each line of the paragraph is symmetrical about the middle.
  • Along the right edge - the right edge is even, and the left is torn.
  • In width - both edges are even, that is, they are located exactly along the borders of the page. In this case, the last line of the paragraph behaves as if it were left-aligned.
Indents and spacing
  • Most often, a paragraph begins with a first line indent. The entire paragraph can have indents to the left and right, which are measured from the borders of the page margins.
  • To align a paragraph, enter the command [Format - Paragraph]
Lists

Lists are used to place various lists in a document. There are lists different types:

  • Numbered lists, when list items are accompanied by Arabic or Roman numbers and letters;
  • Bulleted lists, where list items are marked with special bullet characters.

It is possible to create nested lists, and the nested list may differ in its type from the main one. Enter the [Format-List] command and on the Lists dialog box on the Multilevel tab select the required type of multilevel list.

Tables
  • Table - an object consisting of rows and columns, at the intersection of which cells are formed. You can use tables to format documents. When placing numbers in the table, you can perform calculations on them.
  • You can convert the existing text into a table using the command [Table - Convert to Table]
  • Insert document into table: [Table - Insert into table]
  • Automatically format the appearance of the table: [Table - AutoFormat]
  • Formatting the table manually: [Format - Borders and Fill]
  • Set exact column width: [Table - Cell Height and Width]
Formatting characters
  • Symbols are the main objects that make up a document.
  • Symbols are letters, numbers, spaces, punctuation marks, special characters.
  • Symbols can be formatted.
  • Basic properties of symbols: font, size, style and color.

Hypertext

  • Hypertext allows you to structure a document by highlighting link words (hyperlinks) in it.
  • A hyperlink consists of two parts: the index of the link and the address part of the link.
  • A link pointer is an object that visually stands out in a document.
  • The address portion of a hyperlink is the name of the bookmark in the document to which the link points.
  • To create a hyperlink: enter the command [Insert-Hyperlink].

Machine translation systems - programs that carry out fully automated translation.

The main criterion of the program is the quality of the translation. In addition, for the user important points the convenience of the interface, the ease of integration of the program with other means of document processing, the choice of topics, the utility for replenishing the dictionary.

Computer translation systems, on the one hand, are capable of translating multi-page documents at high speed (one page per second), on the other hand, translating Web pages on the fly, in real time.


Machine translation systems

Machine translation systems translate texts based on formal "knowledge":

language syntax (rules for constructing sentences), word formation rules and the use of dictionaries.

The translator first analyzes the text in one language and then constructs this text in another language.

Modern computer translation systems make it possible to translate with sufficient quality technical documentation, business correspondence and other specialized texts. However, they are not applicable to the translation of works of art.

The best among Russian machine translation systems are considered
