Lesson 2 - Basic Word Processing

You have probably used a word processor for typing documents before. If not, don't worry as you will pick it up very quickly.

We are going to use Microsoft Word as a tool for presenting documents and it is important that you can use its main features. These include:

• Formatting text (e.g. changing the font and size)
• Cutting, copying and pasting text.
• Using bullet points or numbers.
• Inserting a picture such as clipart.
• Using textboxes to control the layout of your document.
• Adding shapes.

In this lesson, you will download a document to your user area and then use Word to improve its presentation.

To download the document, you need to right-click on the link below using your right mouse button. Choose Save Target As from the menu and then save it to your drive (it should have your username in the drive list).

Your teacher will give you a copy of the final document. You can see a version of it by clicking on the link below.

Instructions

1. The document should be in portrait orientation, not landscape (File... Page Setup)
2. The title should be centred on the page (use the centre button on the toolbar). It should be Arial Black, size 26
3. The main part of the text should be Arial size 14. The alignment should be aligned to the left of the page
4. The first rule should be in bold
5. Leave a line between different points.
6. The points after 'Do not do any of the following' should be a list using bullet points. The last item on the list is 'Download or stream video or music files without permission.
7. The page should have a border (Format... Borders and Shading)
8. You should insert a picture of a computer from clipart into your work (Insert... Picture... Clipart) and put it at the bottom of the page.
9. Cut the line that begins 'Save your work often' and paste it at the bottom of the page
10. Create a textbox that says 'These are very important rules' and place it somewhere sensible on your page. (Insert... Textbox). Make sure the text is big enough to be clearly visible
11. Check your document for any errors of spelling or grammar.
12. When you have finished, make sure you have put your name at the top of the document (you can use View... Header and Footer) and then print a copy.
