CS 104 Lab 4

Microsoft Word 2000

Instructions

Microsoft Word is a full-featured word processing program that allows you to create attractive and professional documents quickly and easily. You can enhance your documents by giving text a special appearance, adding lines, shading, and creating tables.

I expect that most of you have used a word processor before, so Project 1 of Microsoft Word 2000, Creating and Editing a Word Document (Your Microsoft 2000 Lab book, WD 1.1 until WD 1.58) will be easy for you. You will be creating the "Summit Peak Announcement". This announcement is displayed in Figure 1-1 on WD 1.7 For those of you who do not have much word processing experience, the individual steps necessary to create this document are provided by the red filled circles in the Shelly Cashman book.

After you have finished this document, replace the word SUMMIT with your last name! Do a print preview. If you are pleased with the appearance, print a copy for your lab instructor. A printed copy is necessary for your 45 lab points!

Finally, save the file in the html format. Click the File on the menu bar and Highlight Save as HTML. You will be prompted to give it a name. Choose the name as Lab4HTML. Save it on your diskette or zip disk. Note: If you do not have the Save as HTML on your File menu, you can still save as HTML. Do a Save as ... and when that familiar Save as window pops up, change the Save as type (bottom of the window, text box) to HTML document. Open the file Lab4HTML, by doubling clicking it. Look at its appearance. What format did not get transferred over?

Notes on

Launching Word

Starting Word may be different on various systems. Your Shelly Cashman book tells (shows) you to click the Start button on the taskbar and then the New Office Document on the Start Menu. To start Word on my machine, I click the Start button on the taskbar, on the Start menu, I point to Programs, then on the Programs menu I finally click Microsoft Word (one of several dozen programs). Other Program menus may have been organized to group the MS products together as MS Office folder. If you do not have Microsoft Word look for MS Office then Microsoft Word.
