Word Intro Cap1 National Sales Meeting

Project Description:

In this project, you will apply skills you practiced from the Objectives in Word Chapters 1-3. You will assist Irene Shviktar, the Vice President of Marketing, to edit and create documents for a National Sales Meeting that will precede a Winter Sports Expo sponsored by Front Range Action Sports. The documents include a cover letter from the vice president to the company president. The letter will accompany a packet of materials for the meeting and the expo, which includes a brief resume for the guest speaker, a flyer that will announce the expo, a newsletter for employees, and a research paper on the history and development of skis.

Open   the Word document Student_Word_Cap1_National_Sales_Meeting.docx downloaded with this Project.   Be sure that the rulers and formatting marks display.

On the letter on Page 1, select   the first paragraph—Front Range Action   Sports—and increase the Font Size to 28 pt. Change the Font Size of the   next four paragraphs—the address lines and website—to 12 pt.

Select the first five paragraph   lines that you just formatted, change the Font to Arial, and then with the   text selected, display the Borders and Shading dialog box. Create a 6 pt,   Automatic-colored border on the left side of the selected text.
 

  In the paragraph that begins If you   have any, select the second sentence and move it to the beginning of the   paragraph. Adjust spacing as necessary so that there are no extra blank   spaces at the end of the paragraph.

On Page 2, in the newsletter,   select the second paragraph of text, which begins with Employee Newsletter. Display the Borders and Shading dialog box,   and then add an Automatic-colored, 3 pt line below the paragraph.

Starting with the paragraph that   begins National Sales Meeting, select   all of the text from that point to the end of the page, including the   paragraph mark after the word event. Do   not select the Page Break. Change the Spacing After to 6 pt, format the text   in two columns, and apply the Justify alignment.

At the top of the first column,   select the paragraph National Sales   Meeting. From the Font dialog box, change the Font Size to 20, apply   Bold, and add the Small caps effect. Then Center the paragraph. Apply the   same formatting to the paragraph Winter   Sports Expo.
