Using Microsoft Word For APA Tasks-

This document is very helpful in giving information pertaining to using the new microsoft word which has many different features from the previous version and is abit trickier to use. The new features give you the choice in changing your pages of work into what you please such as double spaced, headers and footers etc.

The various graphic formats that can be used to save an image are all unique in which jpeg gives a smaller file size with good qualityand most images on the net are jpeg format. Bitmap format (.bmp) gives a high effect on both colour and image size when saving in the format and can be used as wallpapers mostly.
