  6. Editing Borders • Double click on a shape or text box • Look up at your tools and notice how what you see has changed From here, you can choose the style, colour, outline and shading of your graphic or text box. If you right-click on the text box you will have even more options.

  7. Inserting a Table Show how many rows/columns you want. You can click and drag on the rows and columns to change their size once the table is made. Grab the arrow icon to move the table around.

  8. Assignment 2 Letter to the Editor

  9. Letter to the Editor • You will write a professional response to an editorial in a newspaper. Find an opinion that you disagree with • Include at the top of the letter: Your name and address, the name of the paper, editor and their address just below • Put the date below the addresses • Provide a greeting • Thank-you at the end with your name • In 3-4 paragraphs, write your opinion • Write with professional language • It should be a page long, size 11 font, single-spaced • Save and hand in

  10. Assignment 3- Brochure • Create a brochure using Microsoft word • Select a topic of your choice! (travel brochure, mall brochure, pamphlet for a new product, fundraising cause) • Make the brochure both visually appealing and informative. • Keep a bibliography of your work

  11. Requirements • Your brochure will be 3-sided like the one below. You will also make it be on both sides of the paper. You will have to use two documents to do this.

  12. Requirements Your pamphlet will need: • Informative text as well as images • A watermark or gradient (background) • Fonts, styles, colours • Modified margins and page layout • Custom WordArt • Bullet points • An index/reference list • Professional language • Two-sided with 3 panels on each side

  13. Getting Started Divide your two pages into thirds (three panels) using the line tool. Go to Insert -> Shapes to find it. Take a look at what parts will be the front, back, inside etc. You don’t have to label them. You can measure the spacing by using the ruler guides that are above. You will have to have two pages like this

  14. Using a background Go to Fill Effects. Once there, you can choose various types of backgrounds and gradients. Make sure what you pick does not overpower your text.

  15. Simple, and not too harsh. You can also choose patterns and textures. Look ay my example on the next page. Make sure your text is legible and avoid ugly colours and patterns.

  16. Handy Information The shape Fill, Outline and Effects tools change the appearance of an object, like a square or text box. When you have your WordArt selected, you can go up to your tools and change the colour, shape and other effects.

  17. I found some pictures online. I used some WordArt. The background is a texture that came with Word. I made a n orange border by using the Square tool under Shapes. Go to Insert-> WordArt to get your funky text.

  18. You will have to make a list or use bullets in your pamphlet. Here is a list with bullets I made for the back of the brochure, detailing some additional attractions. Make sure to include descriptions other than just lists, and have some pictures to match!

  19. Biblography Save all the sites that you have used for information as a Bibliography. Include the name of the website and the link. Example: • Sprach Caffe.com http://www.sprachcaffe.com/english/cities/havana/events_in_havana.htm When you have your brochure the way you want it, we will print it out and make it double-sided. Hand in both your brochure and bibliography into the hand-in folder.
