Word stuff:

Tools - Customize - Commands allows you to add icons to the tool bar. Example: superscript, subscript, equation editor.

Equation editor (very useful for students taking technical courses): Demonstrate equation tool bar, Styles, "Border" and so on.

Insert - symbol.

Insert - Footnotes; Endnotes; Page numbers; Header/Footer.

Tables toolbar: demonstrate features

Clip art: Insert - Picture - Clip Art should take you to a dialog window from which "art" can be obtained to insert into your document. Note how images can be resized and how text can be wrapped (select picture; then Format - Picture - Wrapping) around the picture - and how a 'frame' can be added (Format - Borders and Shading).

 

Change Font, Size (etc.): Can be done within document, do not over-do it. You can even change font colors.

Drawing tools: demonstrate. Note: many tool products do not translate into .html code. In other words, footnotes and drawings made with the drawing tool do not convert into Web page footnotes and drawings.  

Word Art demo.

Assignment: demonstrate that you can do each of the following: into a Word document -

Insert clip art and a picture (anything from 'Nature' - animals, rocks, sunsets, etc.) but 2 different sizes.

Type a (short) line from Shakespeare (you pick it), each word in a different font and/or size.

Demonstrate some superscript and subscript; also, insert some Greek characters     .  Write some words (in whichever foreign language you have studied) that require special letters not used in English.  For example: la piña; ¿Cómo estás?

Extra credit: Selecting a new language (for the really fluent).  Write a paragraph in that language.

Write 2 equations in different styles, involving a square root, quotient, exponents and subscripts. Wrap each in a border.  Look up the equations in your favorite physics, chemistry or statistic textbook.

Draw a frame and a smiley face.

 

 

Write inside an oval.  (Hard to convert that item to .html - at least with the tools at hand).

Get everything onto 2 or fewer pages. Do not forget to include your name and the title Word Lab 1. Due at 1200 hours on February 21.  Either e-mail me your Word document or print it out and hand it to me.
