MS Word is a part of the bigger package called MS OFFICE. It can do much more than word processing. When you open up MS OFFICE you will find four main components in it. They are MS WORD (for word processing), MS EXCEL (for spreadsheet), MS ACCESS (for database management) and MS POWERPOINT (for presentation purposes). However, we will learn only MS WORD in this lesson. Do You Know? Microsoft Office suite is a collection of commonly used computer programs made by Microsoft.” Getting Familiar with MS Word Microsoft Word (MS Word) is excellent for creating documents. It is used to create different types of documents that can include graphics and pictures. We can write poems, letters, essays and stories. We can even make reports, posters and greeting cards using MS Word. It allows us to make documents look attractive and interesting by adding bullets, borders, shading etc. MS Word was first released on October 25, 1983. A number of versions of MS-Word are available. Some of them are MS Word 95, 97, 2000, XP 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013. MS Word 2007 is the 12th version of Microsoft’s word processing software.

7 GETTING STARTED WITH MSW LOGO Friends! Do you think computer can understand Hindi, English and other languages? No, computer cannot understand these languages. To interact with a computer you need a language. LOGO is one such language. Here we will learn LOGO and meet our new friend Turtle. Let Us Start Microsoft Windows LOGO (MSW LOGO) is a simple computer language. It is useful for learning to program. LOGO is used for drawing figures using commands. It is also used to type text and perform arithmetic calculations. There are several types of LOGO programming. Here we are going to use MSW LOGO. It is a free application that can be downloaded from the Internet. In this lesson We will learn • To start MSW LOGO program and identify parts of the LOGO window • Use of basic commands of LOGO and exiting the LOGO window LOGO stands for Language of Graphics Oriented. Sir Seymour Papert and his team developed LOGO in 1967. In LOGO, the pen is called the TURTLE. It works as a pointer and draws a line as it moves. We can draw different shapes by moving the turtle in different ways. The LOGO turtle is represented by a triangle. It shows the position where it will start to draw. The turtle has two parts: • The upper pointed part is called Head. • The lower broader part is called Tail. 59 Computer 3.indb 59 06/02/17 4:13 pm

Do You Know? Originally, the turtle was a robot that moved around the floor when the user typed LOGO commands into a computer. How to Start LOGO? Follow the steps below to start MSW LOGO: STEP 1: Click on the Start button. STEP 2: Click on All Programs. STEP 3: From the list, click on Microsoft Windows LOGO. (Figure 7.1) A LOGO window appears here. (Figure 7.2) Figure 7.1 Figure 7.2 Let’s Learn LOGO Window Parts The MSWLOGO window is divided into TWO sections: Main Screen (Figure 7.3) and Commander Window (Figure 7.4). • T  he Main Screen: It is the area where every drawing is viewed by the user. It consists of: 60 06/02/17 4:13 pm Computer 3.indb 60

1. Menu Bar 2. Title Bar 3. Drawing Area • The Commander Window: It is the area where the user gives the commands. These commands make the turtle move on the main screen. The commander window has three main parts. Figure. 7.3: Main Screen  I nput Box – The Input Box is the area where you type the LOGO commands. You can also edit the commands in this window. Figure. 7.4: Commander window  R ecall list box – The Recall List box keeps a list of all the instructions typed in the Input Box.  T ools – The Tool Box contains the control buttons. The Control Buttons on the right side corner are used for quick actions. The various Control buttons are: • Halt - Stops running the commands entered in the Input Box. • Trace - Checks our programs for errors. • Pause - Stops the LOGO program temporarily. • S  tatus - Click on this button gives us the turtle’s position, the thickness of the line it draws, etc. • Step - Runs the program we enter step-by-step. Computer 3.indb 61 61 06/02/17 4:13 pm

• Reset - Clears the main screen. • E  xecute - Carries out the commands typed in the Input Box. To execute a command, click the Execute button or press Enter key. • Edall - Opens the command editor window. Basic LOGO Commands To Move:  F ORWARD or FD is used to move the turtle in the forward direction. You can give the number of steps the turtle should move. Format: FORWARD<space><number of steps> Or FD<space><number of steps> Example: FD 90  B ACK or BK is used to move the turtle in the backward direction. You can give the number of steps the turtle should move. Format: BACKWARD<space><number of steps> Or BK<space><number of steps> Example: BK90  H OME is used to bring the turtle back to the center of the screen. Even if you are drawing any figure and you type the HOME command, the turtle will move back to the starting position. Format: HOME To Turn  R IGHT or RT turns the head of the turtle towards the right side. Format: RIGHT<space><number> Or RT<space><number> 62 06/02/17 4:13 pm Computer 3.indb 62

Example: RT 60  L EFT or LT turns the head of the turtle towards the left side. The format to turn the turtle in the left direction is: Format: LEFT<space><number> Or LT<space><number> Example: LT 60 Entering MSWLOGO Commands STEP 1: Click in the Input Box at the bottom of the MSW LOGO Commander Window. STEP 2: Type in the command. STEP 3: Press the Enter key, or click the Execute button at the right of the Commander Window. Let US Do 1: Let’s make a square with each side 100 units using FD and RT command Enter the following commands. After each command press the Enter key FD 100 RT 90 FD 100 RT 90 FD 100 RT 90 FD 100 RT 90 FD 100 More LOGO Commands Let’s Clear the Screen  CLEARSCREEN or CS The CS command erases the drawing on the screen and brings the turtle to its initial position. Format: CLEARSCREEN Or CS  CLEAN Computer 3.indb 63 63 06/02/17 4:13 pm

It does the same function as CS command. However, it does not bring back the turtle to its home position. Format: CLEAN  CLEARTEXT or CT This command is used to clear the Recall List Box. The CLEARTEXT will not clear the LOGO screen. There presented figure on LOGO screen will not get erased. The short form of CLEARTEXT is CT. Format: CLEARTEXT Or CT Let’s Play Hide and Seek  HIDETURTLE or HT It hides the turtle, and you can see your finished drawing without the turtle. Format: HIDETURTLE or HT  SHOWTURTLE or ST It shows the turtle again on the screen. ST Command works after HT command is already given. Format: SHOWTURTLE or ST Figure. 7.5 Execution of ST Command Figure. 7.6 Execution of HT Command 64 06/02/17 4:13 pm Computer 3.indb 64

Exiting LOGO Figure 7.7 You can exit LOGO by two methods: STEP 1: Type “BYE” in the Command Input Box. STEP 2: Press the Enter key. Or STEP 1: Select File in Menu Bar. STEP 2: Click on Exit. Glossary 1) T urtle: It is a small triangle placed at the center of the drawing area of LOGO window. It moves and draws figures. 2) Input Box: It is the place where the LOGO commands are typed. 3) Commander Window: It is a place where user gives the commands. 4) Recall list box: Place where commands are listed typed in the Input Box. 5) Execute: Tells the turtle to run the command typed in the Input Box.
