The advantages of a word processor over typewriters are as follows:
What is text area ? What do you understand by a workspace ?
The area where we write/type the text is the text area. The pointer becomes an I-beam, when it is within the text area. When we move it outside the text area, it becomes an arrow.

Non-printing characters are those special characters which do not appear on paper when we print the document. They are often useful to see when we are working with heavily formatted documents and need to keep track of our tabs, spaces, blank lines and so on.
The Writer uses the following marks for the corresponding non-printing characters:

Write short notes on features of paragraph formatting in Writer.
The paragraph formatting involves controlling the appearance of text in a paragraph. Some aspects that contribute in paragraph formatting are :
Explain the difference between Left, Centre, Right and Justified alignments. When you do think left justification is preferable over justified alignment ?
The difference between Left, Centre, Right and Justified alignments is as follows:
Left alignment — This alignment aligns selected text, flushed left with the left margin or left paragraph indent and leaves a ragged right edge. This is the default alignment.
Right alignment — This alignment aligns selected text, flushed right with the right margin and leaves a ragged left edge. It is commonly used in languages read from right to left, like Arabic or Hebrew.
Centered alignment — This alignment centers selected text between the left and right margins or paragraphs indents. It is useful for titles, headings, or invitations, where symmetry is desired.
Justified alignment — In this alignment, the text is flushed both left and right, thus none of the left and the right edges of the text appear ragged. It is suitable for formal documents with a polished look.
Left alignment is preferable when readability is the top priority. It ensures consistent starting points for each line, facilitating quicker scanning. Justified alignment can create uneven spaces between words, potentially hindering readability, making left alignment a better choice for long bodies of text like articles or novels.
