Learning Objectives

  • Insert and format charts and tables
  • Create web, email, and document hyperlinks
  • Add headers, footers, and page numbers (including Different First Page)
  • Use text boxes, shapes, equations, and symbols professionally

Sample assets: office_view.svg, raw_text.txt

1) Charts

  1. Place the cursor where the chart should appear.
  2. Insert → Chart → choose Column, Line, or Pie.
  3. Replace sample data in the embedded datasheet.
  4. Chart Design: style, colours, chart title, axis titles, legend.
  5. Resize so the chart stays inside margins.

Caption: References → Insert Caption → Figure (required for lab reports).

2) Tables

  1. Insert → Table (e.g. 5×5).
  2. Use Table Design styles or manual shading for the header row.
  3. Set borders to 0.5 pt if the assignment specifies it.
  4. Merge cells for a Total row; optionally use Layout → Formula (=SUM(ABOVE)).
  1. Select text → Ctrl+K (Insert → Link).
  2. Link types: Existing File/Web Page, Place in This Document, Email Address.
  3. Use meaningful anchor text (Pokhara University site, not “click here”).
  4. Test with Ctrl+Click.

4) Headers, Footers, Page Numbers

  1. Insert → Header / Footer.
  2. Typical PRC 110 pattern: course name left, student name right; page number centred or Page X of Y.
  3. Tick Different First Page so the cover has no header/footer.
  4. Close Header and Footer when done.

5) Pictures, Text Boxes, Shapes

  1. Insert → Pictures → This Device — use office_view.svg offline.
  2. Set Wrap Text (Square / Top and Bottom) so body text flows cleanly.
  3. Insert → Text Box or Shapes for callouts; keep one accent style.
  4. Align to margins; avoid overlapping the header band.

6) Equations and Symbols

  1. Insert → Equation for structured maths.
  2. Insert → Symbol for ±, ₹, °, Greek letters.
  3. Keep notation consistent across the document.
