Wednesday's Word Lesson

Today we took a quiz from last week's material, did a little review, and started learning new material. 

Today's Class Topics

• Inserting items into a word document
• Creating a unique cover page using SUMO
• How to insert columns in a document and make sections

New Keyboard Shortcuts:

• Control "M" = Move an item over
• Control + Shift "M" = Move an item back
• Control "Z" = Undo

New Things I Learned Today:

• How to insert a "Watermark" on a page in a document.  This is done on the "Page Layout" Ribbon.
• How to insert columns in a document.  This format is used mainly for newsletters and newspapers.
• How to insert Word-art in a document to have an item stand out and be noticed.
• How to insert Smart-art when dealing with a list or hierarchy of a company.  Very useful when putting together an office hand-book.

New MS Word Ribbon Item:

As discussed earlier, we learned about inserting a watermark into a document.  This is done by going to the "Page Layout" Ribbon and selecting the down arrow underneath "Watermark" and choosing what kind you want to use.  You can use a picture as a watermark instead of words or letters.  If you use a picture, the picture will be dimmed to a very light shade and it does not take away from the words in the document.  So there are many watermarks to choose from and the choice is yours, unless you are working on a "Top Secret" project, then use the "Top Secret" watermark.  Here you can see the Watermark in very light gray going diagonal across the page.
