MS Word, Project 1: Creating and Editing a Word Document

Thursday, February 5th  

Here’s what’s up for the first Microsoft Word project:
Read and do the tutorial for this section (pp. WD 4–WD 62); when you’re done, you’ll have a flyer. You can print it if you want, but be sure to save a copy on your computer, and save a copy in the Assignments folder. Please name this file lastname_tutorial_flyer.doc (for example, mine would be Ferrell_tutorial_flyer.doc), and drop it in the Word Project 1 folder inside the Assignments folder.

Review the “What you should know” page (WD 63). It’d be a good idea to flip back and review any steps that don’t make sense to you, or that you can’t really remember doing! After that, take the online review quiz here. Once you’ve managed to score 80% or above, print your result and turn it in.

Finally, take a look at some exercises. Here’s what you need to do:

» Apply Your Knowledge 1 (WD 65): Download the file Paris Announcement Unformatted.doc. (Be sure to “Save” and not “Open” it!) When you’re done, save a copy of your file in the Word Project 1 folder in the Assignments folder with the filename lastname_AYK1-1.doc.

» In The Lab 3 (WD 70): Follow the instructions in the text. Save a copy in the Project 1 folder on the server as lastname_ITL1-3.doc.

» Cases and Places 1 or 2 (WD 71): Choose one of these to do. When you’re finished, save a copy to the server as either lastname_CP1-1.doc or lastname_CP1-2.doc.

» Cases and Places 3, 4, and 5 (WD 71-72): Choose one of these to complete. Copy your completed project to the server, named either lastname_CP1-3.doc, lastname_CP1-4.doc, or lastname_CP1-5.doc.

To recap: When you’re done with Project 1, you should have five files in the Word Project 1 folder in the Assignments folder:
     lastname_tutorial_flyer.doc
     lastname_AYK1-1.doc
     lastname_ITL1-3.doc
     lastname_CP1-1.doc or lastname_CP1-2.doc
     either lastname_CP1-3.doc, lastname_CP1-4.doc, or lastname_CP1-5.doc

You should have also turned in a printout of your online quiz to me.

Completion date: Wednesday, February 11.
