Week 12 Assignment

Joey Struwe

This is my example of a dynamic menu.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.  I've included another page of meaningless text so that the scroll feature of the dynamic menu can be seen.

What is Microsoft Office Word?, WD 4

LECTURE NOTES

Describe Microsoft Office Word. List some of the capabilities of Word, including the documents that can be produced with it. Note some of the new features of the latest version of Word.

CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES

Ask students to brainstorm functions that they would want in a full-featured word processing program. Appoint one student to be the scribe and write down every function mentioned. Ask if any of them have ever used a typewriter. How do the functions of a typewriter compare with the functions they would want in a word processor? As they work through the Word projects in the text, ask students to watch to see if Microsoft Word has all of the features they want.

Project One – Grand Prix Announcement, WD 5

LECTURE NOTES

Discuss the announcement shown in Figure 1-1. Describe the headline, graphic, body title, and body copy. Discuss More About Word 2003 and encourage students to visit the Web page mentioned.

CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES

Ask students why the announcement is effective. How do various elements – such as the distinctive headline font and the picture – contribute to the announcement? Students will use these design considerations in the In the Lab and the Cases and Places exercises.

Starting and customizing Word, WD 6

LECTURE NOTES

Point out that the figures in this book require a resolution of 800 x 600. If necessary refer students to Appendix D for more information about how to change the resolution on their computers. Use Figures 1-2 and 1-3 to illustrate starting Word. Discuss Other Ways to start Word. Define Language bar and task pane. Mention that the Language bar displays only when Office Speech Recognition software is installed. Refer students to Appendix B for more information about the Language bar. Point out the Getting Started task pane in Figure 1-3. Explain why the Language bar and Getting Started task pane will be closed. Discuss More About Task Panes on page WD 7. Define toolbar. Note that the toolbar buttons display on one row. This row contains buttons from two toolbars: the Standard toolbar and the Formatting toolbar. Point out that it is more efficient to display the buttons on two separate rows. Use Figures 1-4 through 1-7 to illustrate customizing the Word window. Note that the toolbars also can be displayed on two rows by dragging the second toolbar down. Discuss More About The Office Assistant on page WD 9. Emphasize that each time Word is started, the window appears as it did the last time Word was used. Explain when task panes open and note some important task panes. Using Figure 1-4, tell how to open or close a task pane, display a different task pane, and switch among opened task panes.
