To Create a Certificate Template in Microsoft Word

So, if you want to create digital certificates and you decide to choose Microsoft Word, it's worthwhile
for you to know how to do it correctly.
There are two possible ways out:
 either you create a certificate Word by hand and from scratch
 or you use some custom templates that Microsoft Word offers
The decision is yours, and we will describe these two ways for you!
Create a custom certificate template in Microsoft Word
First of all, with the options available, you can create a certificate template in Word yourself.
This is not a very quick approach, as it will take you some time to finish the project. Nevertheless,
here's how to do it:
#1 Open blank paper
 First, start Microsoft Word. Then select the blank document option. A blank sheet will appear
on your screen.
 If you want to design a certificate in vertical form, you are ready to proceed. However, if you
want it to be in horizontal form, go to the layout tab and then choose orientation > landscape.
#2 Add elements
 Now it's a matter of adding such elements that will give shape to the design.
 For example - if you want to build professional certificates of achievement, choose cool colors,
go for minimalism, and do not clutter the background.
 But if you plan to issue a gift certificate Word, you can go wild and bet on a colorful
background.
 Either way, go to the Draw tab and choose from a variety of shapes. You can also choose to
insert pictures and even 3D Models to make your certificate stand out even more.
IT-WORK SHOP
 We went for
simplicity and chose a navy-blue frame and white background. We also added space for a
stamp and for the issuer's signature along with the date.

#3 Fill in the text


 Now it's time to add text. This is an important element not only because it provides relevant
content but also affects the attractiveness of the certificate.
 You can use different fonts (but don't mix them too much. 2-3 should be enough), add bold,
italics, etc. Combine colors and try different combinations of all elements.
 We used the color gold, navy green, and navy blue. The fonts we chose were Century Gothic
and Book Antiqua (Headings).

#4 Save your new template


Thus prepared, you can save the template on your computer and use it at will. Usually, certificates in
Word are not too complicated to create and contain simple elements.

Task 4: Creating a Newsletter: Features to be covered: - Table of Content, Newspaper columns,


Images from files and clipart, Drawing toolbar and Word Art, Formatting Images, Textboxes,
Paragraphs and Mail Merge in word.

News letters

Most companies have one or more email newsletters for their employees and customers.

Microsoft has added new features over the years. And since Microsoft word, 2013, there is a ready-
made newsletter template that you can use. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't put any effort to
customize your newsletter.

All newsletters share the same components. These include information boxes, newsletter layout,
image placeholders and a banner.

The layout of a newsletter

Begin by creating a new blank document in Microsoft Word. Next click on the 'page layout', menu
tab and then click on the columns drop-down selection icon. Decide on the number of columns
you'll need for your newsletter column, or click left. This solely depends on your style preference,
so there is no right or wrong way of going about it.

Still, don' t see any obvious changes? That's fine. Click on the 'view' menu button and mark on the
Ruler checkbox. A ruler will appear at the top, on the left side of your document, showing where
the selected columns are.

Now click the 'design' icon to select the best theme for your newsletter. There are multiple themes
you can choose from. Here is an example.
IT-WORK SHOP

Since it's difficult to view how your newsletter template will look like in a blank page, add some
text. Insert the "Loren Ipsum" text in the two columns. In your word document, type the following
text =lorem(2,12)

Once you hit the enter button, you can see some auto generated text in your columns. You can then
tweak the size of the fonts to meet the needs of your company if you've got guidelines on the
standard font size. This can be done by highlighting your text and right-clicking it to the size you
want it to be.

Banners and text boxes

Click on the 'insert' tab and click on the 'shapes' drop-down selected arrow. Select a rectangle shape
and insert it above the columns.

Right-click on the banner and click 'insert text' and write the name of your newsletter. Next, click
on the 'home' tab and choose the title font style.

Click on the top left column right before your first character. Insert a text box here. From the 'insert'
table list, select on the 'text box' button. You'll see a placeholder on your template that will allow
you to input a title, quote or a story heading.
IT-WORK SHOP

Add an image placeholder

Now it's time to add a placeholder for a picture.

Click the 'insert' tab and select 'picture'. Insert the picture on the position you'd want it to be on the
newsletter, and select the layout options icon and choose bottom and top so that the text wraps
around the image and not through it.
IT-WORK SHOP

Save your newsletter as a template. You can keep adding more components to your newsletter
template, but you get the idea. Select the file menu, and use the 'save as' button, and select the
document type as a word template.

To use your template as a starting point, to create another newsletter template, click 'new' when you
open word to create your first newsletter. Click 'personal' to see all your templates, and click the
'newsletter template' button.

Using Functions in Excel 2010


Functions in Formula

Many formulas you create use available worksheet functions. These functions enable you to greatly
enhance the power of your formulas and perform calculations that are difficult if you use only the
operators. For example, you can use the LOG or SIN function to calculate the Logarithm or Sin ratio.
You can’t do this complicated calculation by using the mathematical operators alone.

Using Functions

When you type = sign and then type any alphabet you will see the searched functions as below.

Suppose you need to determine the largest value in a range. A formula can’t tell you the answer
without using a function. We will use formula that uses the MAX function to return the largest value in
the range B3:B8 as =MAX(A1:D100).
IT-WORK SHOP

Another example of functions. Suppose you want to find if the cell of month is greater than 1900 then
we can give Bonus to Sales representative. The we can achieve it with writing formula with IF
functions as =IF(B9>1900,"Yes","No")
IT-WORK SHOP

Function Arguments

In the above examples, you may have noticed that all the functions used parentheses. The information
inside the parentheses is the list of arguments.

Functions vary in how they use arguments. Depending on what it has to do, a function may use.

 No arguments − Examples − Now(), Date(), etc.


 One argument − UPPER(), LOWER(), etc.
 A fixed number of arguments − IF(), MAX(), MIN(), AVERGAGE(), etc.
 Infinite number of arguments
 Optional arguments

Built-in Functions in Excel 2010


Built In Functions

MS Excel has many built in functions, which we can use in our formula. To see all the functions by
category, choose Formulas Tab » Insert Function. Then Insert function Dialog appears from which

Formulas in MS Excel

Formulas are the Bread and butter of worksheet. Without formula, worksheet will be just simple
tabular representation of data. A formula consists of special code, which is entered into a cell. It
performs some calculations and returns a result, which is displayed in the cell.

Formulas use a variety of operators and worksheet functions to work with values and text. The values
and text used in formulas can be located in other cells, which makes changing data easy and gives
worksheets their dynamic nature. For example, you can quickly change the data in a worksheet and
formulas works.

Elements of Formulas

A formula can consist of any of these elements −

 Mathematical operators, such as +(for addition) and *(for multiplication)

Example −
o =A1+A2 Adds the values in cells A1 and A2.

 Values or text
Example −
o =200*0.5 Multiplies 200 times 0.15. This formula uses only values, and it always returns the same
result as 100.

 Cell references (including named cells and ranges)


Example −
o =A1=C12 Compares cell A1 with cell C12. If the cells are identical, the formula returns TRUE;
otherwise, it returns FALSE.
 Worksheet functions (such as SUMor AVERAGE)
Example −
o =SUM(A1:A12) Adds the values in the range A1:A12.

Creating Formula

For creating a formula you need to type in the Formula Bar. Formula begins with '=' sign. When
building formulas manually, you can either type in the cell addresses or you can point to them in the
worksheet. Using the Pointing method to supply the cell addresses for formulas is often easier and
more powerful method of formula building. When you are using built-in functions, you click the cell
or drag through the cell range that you want to use when defining the function’s arguments in the
Function Arguments dialog box. See the below screen shot.
IT-WORK SHOP

As soon as you complete a formula entry, Excel calculates the result, which is then displayed inside the
cell within the worksheet (the contents of the formula, however, continue to be visible on the Formula
bar anytime the cell is active). If you make an error in the formula that prevents Excel from being able
to calculate the formula at all, Excel displays an Alert dialog box suggesting how to fix the problem.

Cell Reference In Excel


A cell reference in Excel refers to other cells to a cell to use its values or properties. So in simple
terms, if we have data in some random cell A2 and we want to use that value of cell A2 in cell A1, we
can use =A2 in cell A1. So it will copy the value of A2 in A1. So it is called cell referencing in Excel.

For example, suppose you insert C1O. As a result, it will expand "Column C" and the "10th Row."
IT-WORK SHOP

Likewise, we can also define or declare cell references to any location in the worksheet. We may also
activate another way for cell reference.

 Cell reference in Excel refers to a cell that is copied from another cell to use its values or properties.
For example, if data is stored in a random cell A2, and the value of A2 is copied to cell A1, this is
known as cell referencing.
 Excel offers three types of cell references: relative cell references, absolute cell references, and
mixed cell references.
 Cell references are crucial in Excel functions, formulas, charts, and commands. They can be either a
row or a column, but not both, and can be locked using mixed references.

Types of Cell Reference in Excel

1 - Relative cell references:

It does not contain dollar signs in a row or column, e.g., A2. Relative cell reference type in Excel
changes when a formula is copied or dragged to another cell. In Excel, cell referencing is relative by
default. It is the most commonly used cell reference in the formula. Let us learn this method with a
detailed example.

Example - Relative Cell References

The below-mentioned pharma sales table below contains medicine "Products" in column C (C10:C16),
"Quantity Sold" in column D (D10:D16), and "Total_Sales_Value" in column F, which we need to
find out.

To calculate the total sales for each item, we need to multiply the price of each item by its quantity of
that.

Let us check out the first item. For the first item, the formula in cell F10 would be multiplication in
Excel - D10*E10.
IT-WORK SHOP

It returns the total sales value.

Now, instead of entering the formula for all the cells, we can apply a formula to the entire range. To
copy the formula down the column, click inside cell F10, and we can see that the cell is selected. Then,
select the cells till F16. So, that column range will get selected. Then, we will click "Ctrl+D"to apply
the formula to the entire range.
IT-WORK SHOP

Here, when you copy or move a formula with a relative cell reference to another row. Automatically,
row references will change (similarly for columns also)

We can notice that the cell reference automatically adjusts to the corresponding row.

To check a relative reference, we must select any of the cells of the "Total _Sales_ Value" in column
F, and we can view the formula in the formula bar. E.g., In cell F14, we can observe that the formula
has been changed from D10*E10 to D14*E14.

2 - Absolute cell references:

Absolute cell reference contains dollar signs attached to each letter or number in a reference, e.g.,
$B$4. Suppose we mention a dollar sign before the column and row identifiers. It makes absolute or
locks both the column and the row, i.e., where cell reference remains constant even if it is copied or
dragged to another cell. Let us learn this method with a detailed example.

Example - Absolute Cell References

The below-mentioned pharma product table contains medicine "Products" in column H (H6:H12), and
it's "Old_Price" in column I (I6:I12), and "New_Price" in column J, which we need to find out with the
help of absolute cell reference.
IT-WORK SHOP

We can see that the rate for each product is increased by 5% effective from Jan 2019 and is listed in
cell "K3".

To calculate the "New_Price" for each item, we need to multiply the old price of each item by the
percentage price increase (5%) and add the “Old_Price” to it.

Let us check out the first item. For the first item, the formula in cell J6 would be =I6*$K$3+I6, where
it returns the new price.
IT-WORK SHOP

Here, the percentage rate increase for each product is 5%, a common factor. Therefore, we must add a
dollar symbol in front of the row and column number for the cell "K3" to make it an absolute
reference, i.e., $K$3.Wecan add it by clicking the "function+F4" key once.

Here the dollar sign for the cell "K3" fixes the reference to a given cell, where it remains unchanged no
matter when you copy or apply a formula to other cells.

Here, $K$3 is an absolute cell reference, whereas "I6" is a relative cell reference. It changes when you
apply to the next cell.
IT-WORK SHOP
Now, instead of
entering the formula for all the cells, we can apply a formula to the entire range. To copy the formula
down the column, click inside cell J6, and we will see that the cell has been selected. Then, we must
select the cells till J12. So, that column range will get selected. Then click "Ctrl+D," so the formula is
applied to the entire range.

3 - Mixed cell references in Excel:

In Excel, mixed cell references contain dollar signs attached to either the letter or the number in a
reference. E.g., $B2 or B$4. It is a combination of relative and absolute references. Let us learn this
method with a detailed example.

Example - Mixed Cell References

In the below-mentioned table, we have values in each row (D22, D23, and D24) and columns (E21,
F21, and G21). Here, we have to multiply each column with each row with the help of a mixed cell
reference.

There are two types of mixed cell references that we can use here to get the desired output.

Let us apply two types of mixed references below in the cell "E22."
IT-WORK SHOP

The formula would be =$D22*E$21.

#1 - $D22: Absolute column and Relative row

Here, the dollar sign before column D indicatesthat only the row number can change. At the same
time, the column letter D is fixed. It does not change.

When we copy the formula to the right side, the reference will not change because it is locked, but
When you copy it down, the row number will change because it is not locked.

#2 - E$21: Absolute row and Relative column

Consider the below example.


IT-WORK SHOP

The dollar sign right before the row number indicates only the column letter E can change. Whereas
the row number is fixed; it does not change.

The row number will not change when copying the formula because it is locked. But when we copy
the formula to the right side, the column alphabet will change because it is not locked.

Now, instead of entering the formula for all the cells, we can apply a formula to the entire range. Now,
we will click inside cell E22. As a result, first, we will see that the cell is selected. Then, we will select
the cells until G24 so that the entire range will get selected. Next, we will click on the "Ctrl+D" key
first and later "Ctrl+R."

Likewise, we can use cell references in Excel.

Simple Charts in Excel

Charts

A chart is a visual representation of numeric values. Charts (also known as graphs) have been an
integral part of spreadsheets. Charts generated by early spreadsheet products were quite crude, but thy
have improved significantly over the years. Excel provides you with the tools to create a wide variety
of highly customizable charts. Displaying data in a well-conceived chart can make your numbers more
understandable. Because a chart presents a picture, charts are particularly useful for summarizing a
series of numbers and their interrelationships.

Types of Charts

There are various chart types available in MS Excel as shown in the below screen-shot.


Column − Column chart shows data changes over a period of time or illustrates comparisons
among items.
 Bar − A bar chart illustrates comparisons among individual items.
 Pie − A pie chart shows the size of items that make up a data series, proportional to the sum of
the items. It always shows only one data series and is useful when you want to emphasize a
significant element in the data.
 Line − A line chart shows trends in data at equal intervals.
 Area − An area chart emphasizes the magnitude of change over time.
 X Y Scatter − An xy (scatter) chart shows the relationships among the numeric values in
several data series, or plots two groups of numbers as one series of xy coordinates.
IT-WORK SHOP
 Stock − This chart type is most often used for stock price data, but can also be used for
scientific data (for example, to indicate temperature changes).
 Surface − A surface chart is useful when you want to find the optimum combinations between
two sets of data. As in a topographic map, colors and patterns indicate areas that are in the
same range of values.
 Doughnut − Like a pie chart, a doughnut chart shows the relationship of parts to a whole;
however, it can contain more than one data series.
 Bubble − Data that is arranged in columns on a worksheet, so that x values are listed in the first
column and corresponding y values and bubble size values are listed in adjacent columns, can
be plotted in a bubble chart.
 Radar − A radar chart compares the aggregate values of a number of data series.

Lookup in Excel
In simple terms, lookup means looking for a specific value within a row or a column in Excel after

meeting specific criteria. You can look for single or multiple values within a range. There are several

specific Excel built-in functions for looking up value both horizontally and vertically. Moreover, you

can also combine multiple functions for performing a lookup.

Different Types of Lookup to Apply in Excel: 8 Types

In the following dataset, we have a list of marks obtained by different students throughout a semester

in a subject.
IT-WORK SHOP

Now, we will use this dataset to demonstrate 8 different types of Lookup in Excel. Let’s demonstrate

them with proper illustrations.

1. Using LOOKUP Function in Excel

The LOOKUP function looks up a value in a given array and can return a result from another array.

Suppose, we want to find out the grade of one of the students.

Steps:

➤ First, type the following formula,

=LOOKUP(K7,B5:B14,I5:I14)

Here, K7 is the lookup value, B5:B14 is the lookup array and I5:I14 is the result array.

The LOOKUP function will find the lookup value in the lookup array and give the result array’s

return.

Now, press ENTER

Hence, you will get the grade of that student. In a similar way, you can use the LOOKUP function to

find out any specific value from a table.


IT-WORK SHOP

2. Utilizing HLOOKUP Function for Horizontal Lookup

The HLOOKUP function looks for a value in the top row of a table or array and returns a value in the

same column from a specified row. The function looks for a value along a row that means horizontally

and that’s why it is called HLOOKUP.

Suppose, we want to find the mark obtained in the final by a student named Robin.

Steps:

Here, apply the following formula to perform this task

=HLOOKUP(K5,B4:I14,8,FALSE)
IT-WORK SHOP

🔎 Formula Breakdown

First of all, we can see K5 is the lookup value, B4:I14 is the table array, 8 is the row index number

which means we want the value from the 8th row of the table and FALSE indicates that the function

will lookup for an exact match. Then the formula will lookup for K5 in the top row of

table B4:I14 and will return the value from the 8th row of the column in which K5 has been found.

Hence, you will get the mark in the final obtained by Robin.

3. Lookup Vertically with VLOOKUP Function

The VLOOKUP function is the complementary function of the HLOOKUP function.

The HLOOKUP function looks for the value along a row while the VLOOKUP function looks for the

value in a column. VLOOKUP looks for the value in the leftmost column and after that, it returns a

value in the same row of the specified column.

Let’s find out the grade of one of the students (Sheldon) using the VLOOKUP function.

Steps:

➤ Here, insert the following formula for serving our purpose.


IT-WORK SHOP

=VLOOKUP(K5,B5:I14,8,FALSE)

🔎 Formula Breakdown

At first, we can see K5 is the lookup value, B5:I14 is the table array, 8 is the column index number

which means we want the value from the 8th column of the table and FALSE indicates that the

function will lookup for an exact match. Then, the function will lookup for K5 in the leftmost column

of table B5:I14 and will return the value of the 8th column from the row in which the lookup value has

been found.

Hence, you will get the grade of that student (cell K5).

(i) Title Bar: This shows the name/title given by you to the current presentation. If user do not save
the presentation by any name, default name given by MS PowerPoint appears in this bar.
(ii) Menu Bar: Contains menu items like insert, views, design, animations, etc.
(iii) Office Button: MS Office button on the left-most top.
(iv) Formatting Toolbar: Have tools like Bold, Italic, Underline, Font shape & size etc. to format
your data.

(v) Zoom Slider: To zoom in or zoom out your presentation.


(vi) Slide Sorter Pane: This allows us to choose which slides will be shown in which sequence during
the slide show.
(vii) Notes Pane: This allows us to type notes that we may require later when preparing for the
presentation, but they will not be displayed during the slide show.
IT-WORK SHOP

(viii) View Buttons: Provides different views of your presentation like : normal, slide show & slide
sorter.
(ix) Slide Pane: This is where we type, format, and otherwise design the slide.

Concept of Slide Shows


After preparing the presentation, it’s time for the slide show. Steps for slide show are:

Step 1. Click on the view Option on the top Menu Toolbar


Step 2. Click on the slide show option.

Step 3. The slide show will start (Press Esc key (escape) to come out of slide show)

Note: Shortcut for the slide show is: F5

Slide Views

The group of four buttons located to the left of the Zoom control, near the bottom of the screen, lets
you switch between PowerPoint views.

 Normal Layout view − This displays page in normal view with the slide on the right and a list of

thumbnails to the left. This view allows you to edit individual slides and also rearrange them.
 Slide Sorter view − This displays all the slides as a matrix. This view only allows you to rearrange

the slides but not edit the contents of each slide.


 Reading View − This view is like a slideshow with access to the Windows task bar in case you need

to switch windows. However, like the slideshow you cannot edit anything in this view.

Add & Format Tables Powerpoint 2010

One of the most powerful data representation techniques is the use of tables. Table allows information
to be segregated making it easy to read. PowerPoint has features that let you add tables in slides and
also format them to enhance their visual effects. What's more, these tables are also compatible with
Microsoft Excel, so you can basically take a spreadsheet or a section of a spreadsheet and paste it into
a slide as a table.

The following steps will help you add a table in PowerPoint.

Slide Master view


Slide Master view is a special feature in PowerPoint that allows you to quickly modify the slides and
slide layouts in your presentation. From here, you can edit the slide master, which will affect every
slide in the presentation. You can also modify individual slide layouts, which will change any slides
using those layouts.

For example, let's say you find a theme you like but you don't like a few of the slide layouts. You
could use Slide Master view to customize the layouts to look exactly the way you want.

In Slide Master view, the Slide Master tab will appear first on the Ribbon, but you'll still be able to
access commands on different tabs as you normally would.
IT-WORK SHOP

Using Slide Master view

Whether you're making significant changes to your slides or just a few small tweaks, Slide Master
view can help you create a consistent, professional presentation without a lot of effort. You could use
Slide Master view to change just about anything in your presentation, but here are some of its most
common uses.

 Modify backgrounds: Slide Master view makes it easy to customize the background for all of
your slides at the same time. For example, you could add a watermark or logo to each slide in
your presentation, or you could modify the background graphics of an existing PowerPoint
theme.
 Rearrange placeholders: If you find that you often rearrange the placeholders on each slide,
you can save time by rearranging them in Slide Master view instead. When you adjust one of
the layouts in Slide Master view, all of the slides with that layout will change.
 Customize text formatting: Instead of changing the text color on each slide individually, you
could use the Slide Master to change the text color on all slides at once.
 Create unique slide layouts: If you want to create a presentation that looks different from
regular PowerPoint themes, you could use Slide Master view to create your own layouts.
Custom layouts can include your own background graphics and placeholders.

Some overall presentation changes—like customizing the theme fonts and theme colors—can be
made quickly from the Design tab.

To make changes to all slides:

If you want to change something on all slides of your presentation, you can edit the Slide Master. In
our example, we'll add a logo to every slide. If you'd like to work along with our example, right-click
the image below and save it to your computer.

1. Select the View tab, then click the Slide Master command.

2. The presentation will switch to Slide Master view, and the Slide Master tab will be selected
on the Ribbon.
IT-WORK SHOP

3. In the left navigation pane, scroll up and select the first slide. This is the slide master.

4. Make the desired changes to the slide master. In our example, we’ll insert a picture of the
Mongibello logo.
IT-WORK SHOP
5. Move, resize, or delete slide objects as needed. In our example, we'll resize the logo and move
it to the bottom-right corner.
6.

7. When you’re finished, click the Close Master View command on the Slide Master tab.

8. The change will appear on all slides of the presentation.


IT-WORK SHOP

When you make a change to the slide master, it's a good idea to review your presentation to see how
it affects each slide. You may find that some of your slides don't look exactly right. We'll show you
how to fix this by customizing individual slide layouts.

Hide a Slide

If you don’t want a slide to be included in the final slide show, you can hide it from your audience. It
won't show up when you play the slide show, but you will still see it in the editing views so you can
bring it back in the future.

1. Select the slide you want to hide.


2. Click the Slide Show tab.
3. Click Hide Slide.

Right-click the slide and select Hide Slide.


IT-WORK SHOP

The slide number is crossed out, indicating that it is hidden.

Slide Views

PowerPoint includes several different slide views, which are all useful for various tasks. The slide
view commands are located in the bottom-right of the PowerPoint window. There are four main slide
views.
IT-WORK SHOP

The group of four buttons located to the left of the Zoom control, near the bottom of the screen, lets
you switch between PowerPoint views.

 Normal view: This is the default view, where you create and edit slides. You can also move
slides in the slide navigation pane on the left.

 Slide sorter: In this view, you'll see a thumbnail version of each slide. You can drag and drop
slides to reorder them quickly.

 can drag and drop slides to reorder them quickly.

Reading view: This view fills the PowerPoint window with a preview of your presentation.
It includes easily accessible navigation buttons at the bottom-right.

Play slide show: This is the view you'll use to present to an audience. This command will
begin the presentation from the current slide. You can also press F5 on your keyboard to start
from the beginning. A menu will appear when you hover the mouse in the bottom-left corner.
These commands allow you to navigate through the slides and access other features, such as
the pen and highlighter.

Introduction To Latex
LaTeX, which is pronounced «Lah-tech» or «Lay-tech» (to rhyme with «blech» or «Bertolt Brecht»),
is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is most often used for medium-to-
large technical or scientific documents but it can be used for almost any form of publishing.

LaTeX is not a word processor! Instead, LaTeX encourages authors not to worry too much about the
appearance of their documents but to concentrate on getting the right content. For example, consider
this document:

Why Latex

Any Overleaf project can be configured to recompile automatically each time it is edited: click the small arrow
next to the Recompile button and set Auto Compile to On, as shown in the following screengrab:
IT-WORK SHOP

A minimal document preamble might look like this:


\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
where \documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article}
defines the overall class (type) of document. Additional parameters, which must be separated by
commas, are included in square brackets ([...]) and used to configure this instance of the article class;
i.e., settings we wish to use for this particular article-class-based document.
In this example, the two parameters do the following:

 12pt sets the font size


 Letter paper sets the paper size

Of course, other font sizes, 9pt, 11pt, 12pt, can be used, but if none is specified, the default size is 10pt.
As for the paper size, other possible values are a4paper and legal paper. For further information see the
article about page size and margins.
The preamble and body can now be combined to produce a complete document which can be opened
in Overleaf:
\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article}
\title{My first LaTeX document}
\author{Hubert Farnsworth\thanks{Funded by the Overleaf team.}}
\date{August 2022}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
We have now added a title, author and date to our first \LaTeX{} document!
\end{document}
This example produces the following output:
IT-WORK SHOP

Bold, italics and underlining


Next, we will now look at some text formatting commands:

 Bold: bold text in LaTeX is typeset using the \textbf{...} command.


 Italics: italicised text is produced using the \textit{...} command.
 Underline: to underline text use the \underline{...} command.

The next example demonstrates these commands:


Some of the \textbf{greatest}

discoveries in \underline{science}

were made by \textbf{\textit{accident}}.

This example produces the following output:

Paragraphs and new lines


With the abstract in place, we can begin writing our first paragraph. The next example demonstrates:

 how a new paragraph is created by pressing the "enter" key twice, ending the current line and
inserting a subsequent blank line;
 how to start a new line without starting a new paragraph by inserting a manual line break using
the \\ command, which is a double backslash; alternatively, use the \newline command.

The third paragraph in this example demonstrates use of the commands \\ and \newline:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

\begin{abstract}
This is a simple paragraph at the beginning of the
document. A brief introduction about the main subject.
\end{abstract}

After our abstract we can begin the first paragraph, then press ``enter'' twice to start the second one.

This line will start a second paragraph.

I will start the third paragraph and then add \\ a manual line break which causes this text to start on a
new line but remains part of the same paragraph. Alternatively, I can use the \verb|\newline|\newline
command to start a new line, which is also part of the same paragraph.
\end{document}
This example produces the following output:
IT-WORK SHOP

Creating tables
The following examples show how to create tables in LaTeX, including the addition of
lines (rules) and captions.
In this example the argument is {|c|c|c|} which declares three (centred) columns each
separated by a vertical line (rule); in addition, we use \hline to place a horizontal rule
above the first row and below the final row:
\begin{center}

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}

\hline

cell1 & cell2 & cell3 \\

cell4 & cell5 & cell6 \\

cell7 & cell8 & cell9 \\

\hline

\end{tabular}

\end{center}

This example produces the following output:

Inline math mode


Let’s see an example of inline math mode:
\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article}

\begin{document}

In physics, the mass-energy equivalence is stated

by the equation $E=mc^2$, discovered in 1905 by Albert Einstein.

\end{document}

This example produces the following output:

To typeset inline-mode math you can use one of these delimiter pairs: \( ... \), $ ...
$ or \begin{math} ... \end{math}, as demonstrated in the following example:

\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{math}

E=mc^2

\end{math} is typeset in a paragraph using inline math mode---as is $E=mc^2$, and so too is
\(E=mc^2\).
