Introduction to Word

The assignments in Introduction to Word explain to educators how to create a calendar for the newsletter. Step by step instructions help teachers insert a table and adjust the height to cause it to fill the page. The column width and row height is set to form calendar boxes.

Next, educators learn how to add text to record the days of the week and calendar dates. A table style is then applied to the table, with the shading and borderlines formatted to produce an eye-catching calendar of events. The events are then added to the appropriate cell. Cells are combined at the beginning or end of the calendar to include a note for parents

Finally, educators edit the newsletter content and layout to ensure it is free from errors. The Spelling command is used to check for accuracy. Afterwards, the appearance of the document is reviewed using the Print Preview feature. When the newsletter is ready for publication, it is sent to the printer.

Educators are now ready to apply their word processing skills to classroom applications and use the techniques as they integrate technology into the curriculum.

Throughout the Introduction to Word instructional materials are meaningful activities that have educators apply their word processing skills to produce other publications.
