Business Letter Lesson

Today's Class Topics:

Today I learned quite a bit about creating your own letter head for a business letter.  Also how to format a business letter in either modified block or block format.  There is a slight difference to the two.  Only the date and signature line are lined up under the 4" marker on the ruler.

New Keyboard Shortcuts:
  • Control N = Create a new file.
  • Control S = Save (file on disk)
  • Control P = Print
New Things I Learned Today:
  • How to create a letter head with SUMO Paint. 
  • Learned that creating the letter head a person needs to save often, because if not, someone can lose all their work.  This happened today while I was working. 
  • Learned how insert a table into a business letter.  Created the color format on my own.  You do not have to use the styles that is given with word.  Be creative.
  • How to format the table to fit the format of the letter, so it is not over-bearing on the paper.
New MS Word Ribbon Item:

On the ribbon that is labeled "Mailings", you can create envelopes that go along with your letters.  You can also create return labels from this tab also.  You can purchase labels and create them using the label settings on the Ribbon.  When you click on envelopes, the address is there and all a person needs to do is insert there return address. Or as stated earlier--labels.

This is a letter head that will be used in one of our assignments.
