CIS 101 Intro. to Computer Information Systems

Word Project 1 - Creating and Editing a Word Document

This lab assignment is from the Introduction to Office 2007 lab book.

Before you get started you will want to customize your screen and Word to look like the figures in the lab book.  The settings that match the lab book are essentially the default/preset settings when MS Office was installed on the computer.  If you are sharing a computer with someone else or using a computer in a lab the settings may have been changed.  Appendix E explains the steps for changing the screen resolution and customizing MS Office 2007.  If your computer screen does not look like the figures in the book, then refer to Appendix E on how to change the settings.  Here is a list of some of the settings that may have been changed and their correct settings:
 

  • Screen resolution:  1024 X 768
  • Ribbon:  default setting from initial software installation
  • Quick Access Toolbar:  default setting from initial software installation
  • Word window:  maximized
  • Document view:  Print Layout
  • Color scheme:  blue
  1. Read and do the Creating and Editing a Word Document tutorial, pages WD 1 - 62.
  2. Note:  on pages 41 - 42 you are asked to insert a picture in to the flyer.  You will need the following picture file:  horse&rider   Right-click the horse&rider link and save the file to your USB Flash drive using the Save Target As command on the shortcut menu.
  3. Check your work.  When you are done with the tutorial your document should look like figure 1-77 on page WD 54.
  4. Write or type the following at the top of your document:
  • CIS 101 Word Project 1
  • Class Meeting Day and Time (example: Friday 9:00 AM)
  • Your Name

If you want to type it at the top of the document you can do this by inserting a header.  The steps for creating a header are explained pages WD 79 - 80, Headers and Footers.

  1. Save your file one last time. 
  2. Submit your homework for grading:

Traditional students:  Print the homework.
Online students:  Upload the Horseback Riding Lessons Flyer file to the Word Project 1 assignment in TalonNet.

Be sure to submit/turn in the lab assignment by the due date.
