Word Project 1 Instructions

The following are the instructions for Word Project 1. You will create the Word Project 1 documents from scratch yourself using Microsoft Word 2010 word processing software and the Microsoft Office 2010: Brief textbook. There are three images to download from the Blackboard Web site; two images are for the non-graded tutorial and the other image is for the graded assignment. All three images can be found in Blackboard’s Assignments button, Word Project 1 section.

I. Do the tutorial on pages WD 2 – 53.

1) This tutorial will instruct you to create a file named Found Dog Flyer.docx. This tutorial will not be

graded but if it is missing 10 points will be deducted from the final assignment score. The point of the tutorial is to learn the skills you need to do the graded assignment.

2) The completed tutorial will look like the picture on page WD 3.

3) You will need to download the images named Dog Picture 1.jpg and Dog Picture 2.jpg. You can also find these same images in Blackboard’s Assignments button, Word Project 1 section.

II. Do the assignment named In the Lab 2 on pages WD 60 – 61. 1) This assignment will instruct you to create a file named Lab 1-2 Photography Contest Flyer.docx.

Create this document using the same methods you learned in the tutorial (do the tutorial first). This assignment is graded and is worth 50 points.

2) Follow the instructions (the steps) in the textbook. Don't try to create the document simply by looking at the picture in the book. The assignment is graded based on the completion of each of the textbook assignment steps.

3) Make sure that your document includes all of the formatting shown on the following pages of these instructions.

4) Make sure the Show / Hide button is turned on while you work on this assignment as shown on page 3 of these instructions.

7) Page WD 61 Step 15 Changed Requirement: Although the textbook instructions on page WD 61 step 15 say to apply the glow effect called Lavender, 5 pt glow, Accent color 6, do not do so.
