(d) World Wide Web (www)

(e) Outline View in Presentation.

Ans. (a) Optical Scanner: These devices are used for automatic data collection. The devices of this category completely eliminate manual input of data. For example, the bar-code reader is actually just a special type of image scanner An image scanner translates printed images into an electronic format that can be stored in a computer’s memory, and with the right kind of software, one can alter a stored image. Another example of scanner is optical character recognition (OCR) device, used by banks to convert the scanned image of a typed or printed page into text that can be edited on the computer. 

(b) Vertical and Horizontal Scroll Bars: The typing area is bordered on the right side by the vertical scroll bar with a scroll button and arrows. You can drag the vertical scroll button up and down the scroll bar to move up and down through the document. The first bar along the bottom of the typing area is the horizontal scroll bar. To see the text that it off the right side of the screen, use the left arrow button. You can drag the horizontal scroll button to move left or right of the document. 

(c) Control Panel’s Tools: By using Control Panel’s tools you can customize the way Windows look and work! Also you can install new hardware, add and remove (install/uninstall) software programs, change the look and feel of your desktop and much more. It also includes a number of administrative tools in Administrative Tools option for better administration of Windows in terms of User Management, Event viewer, Component Service etc. 

(d) World Wide Web (www): The World Wide Web (“WWW” or simply the “web”) is all collection of electronic documents (called web pages) that are linked together like a spider web. These documents are stored on computers called servers located around the world. 

(e) Outline View in Presentation: To reorder a slide in Slide Sorter View, simply click on the slide you wish to move and drag it to the new location. In Normal or Outline View, click on the slide in the slide pane and move and drag the slide to a new location.

(e) Compiler and Assembler.

Ans: (a) Radar charts: The radar charts compare the aggregate values of a number of data series. Radar chart can be plotted with the data which is arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet. 

Bubble charts: A bubble chart can be used to plot the data values which are arranged in the columns of a worksheet so that x values are listed in the first column and matching y values and bubble size values are listed in adjacent columns. 

(b) HTTP: The Hyper text transfer protocol (HTTP), is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative and hyper media information system. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the word wide web. Hyper text is structword text that use logical link (hyperlinks) between nodes containing text. 

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language): It is a language that consists of cedrtain key words called “Tags”, used for writing the documents on the web. 

(c) Save As: Presentations can be saved by selecting Office button Save As command on the menu bar as explained earlier. 

Save as Webpage: However, if you want to post PowerPoint presentations on the Internet, you may want to save them as Web pages so that the visitors to your web site can view the presentation even if they do not have Power Point installed on their computers. Select Office Save As and select Web Page command from the drop down. Choose your web page directory on the network from the Look in: drop-down menu and name the file in the File name: box. Click Save to save the presentation in web format.  

(d) Main Document: In a Mail Merge operation, the personalized document (such as, a standard letter, or envelope, or mailing label) is known as the main document. 

Merge Document: When you merge the main document with data source, a third document called merge document. 

(e) Compiler: The software (set of programs) that reads a program written in high level language and translates it into an equivalent program in machine language is called as Compiler.

Assembler: Assembly language programming is simpler and less time consuming than machine level programming, it is easier to locate and correct errors in assembly language than in machine language programs. It is also machine dependent. Programmers must have knowledge of the machine on which the program will run.
