People used internet for many things such as to interact with each other by using facebook account or any social network,  to search information and so on. We can get almost everything from internet. Of course we know what the uses of internet and how to use it but do we know the history of internet??



Internet is about network or computer network. It is the largest network in the world that connects people or organization all over the world. Internet also popular in term of 'information highway'. Internet has been started in 1969 and as known as ARPANET ( used in California). In 1980, ARPANET was renamed as Internet. 


ISP( Internet Service Provider ) is a company that provides Internet access to users or subscribers  of its services. Celcom, Maxis, TM Wifi, Digi and U-mobile are the examples of ISP. 


There are some internet issues that anyone have faced it such as  phishing ,  virus and spoofing

Microsoft Word or as commonly known as Word is a software application that allows user to perform word processing. User may use Word to create documents such as letters, invitations, term papers, flyers, resumes, novels, and much more.

This is Ribbon Button



Application Button presents a menu of commands that involve doing something to, with a document or workspace. For instance, if user want to create the new page, user just go to application button and click create new.

Quick access toolbar is a small and customize toolbar that displays the most frequently used commands such as Save icon. 

Shortcuts or now fondly known as Key Tips has allowed users to work faster by pressing the 'ALT', 'CTRL', and FN button. The examples of Key Tips are listed below :

CTRL + P    = print
F12              = save as
CTRL + K   = hyperlink ( you have to highlight the word that you want to make hyperlink first) 
CTRL + B    = Bold text
CTRL + I     = Italic text

From this topic, I got to know many things about Microsoft Word. I got to know the functions and how to do shortcuts for many things in Microsoft Word. Also, Mr Azzamudin taught us in different way for this topic  that make me more understand and more clear.
