Word Assignment Part 2, Exercises 1-5
This is the 2nd part (file) for the Word Assignment. It has five parts also. Each part should begin on a new page and the page set-up should pertain to that page forward (not the previous parts); you should end up with only two files, 5 exercise parts in each.
Begin the Demo: Assignment 2, Exercise 2-1


Begin Demo Exercise 2-1
My Sample

Type Exercise 2-1 as indicated below using the following guidelines:

  1. Type your name and Business 5 flush to the right margin using AutoCorrect.
  2. Center the report heading (Monthly Sales). Change the font, font size, font color, and font style (Use Font tab > Font Options dialogue box), type in the description, enter a horizontal line of your choice (Page Layout tab > Page Borders (& Shading) > Horizontal line).
  3. Center the titles, Jumbo Market and 2007 Sales. Change the font to something other than the default. This exercise uses tabs, it is not a table.
  4. Set Center tabs for the column headings as shown (Sales, Percentage of Total) so they are visually "pleasing". Note that the first line of the third column heading (Percentage) must be entered first (Use Ruler Bar to insert a right tab). The other column headings will be on the same line - the third column (of Total) on the same line as Month and Sales. Choose your locations for the tabs and attempt to align them similar to the example (Use Ruler Bar to insert a center & right tab). The column labeled "Percentage of Total" must be on TWO lines.
  5. After typing the column headings, reset the tabs for the numbers for sales and percentages.

    Use Ruler Bar tabs to insert a right tab for the sales figures (they will line up on the right-side) and a decimal tab for the percentages (they will line up on the decimal point) (Or - Page Layout Tab > Paragraph options > click Tab button). Your exercise will look slightly different than the sample below which shows the Sales figures centered. The sales figures must be right justified with a tab.
  6. Underline the last numbers in the columns (as shown) and double underline the totals (not shown). (For the Sales Total: Home tab > Font options > Underline Style then for the Percent Total use the Format Painter)
  7. Underline the column headings.
  8. Include the solid lines at the top and bottom of the table. Take the first Horizontal Rule you inserted, Highlight it > Crtl +C > put cursor below table and Crtl V.
  9. Italicize and bold the sales and percent values for the month of June.
  10. Italicize and bold the Month of June.
  11. Spell check the document and correct any errors.
  12. Add a background using fill effects, either a two-color, pattern, or texture.
    Page Layout Tab > Page Colors > Fill Effects
  13. Save the document.
