Thursday, June 7 Word Class Lesson

Today's Class Topics:

Today we finished up with Mail Merge and Labels, which can be used in conjunction with Mail Merge.  Also, went over how to utilized Microsoft Publisher.  Discussed what our final project was going to be and worked on our own to get started in finishing up. 

New Keyboard Shortcuts:
  • Control + "F2" = Print Preview
  • Control + "F6" = Flip to open Word Document
  • Control + <backspace> = Delete back to the beginning of the word
  • Shift + "F3" = Change case (cycle through UPPER, lower, or Cap)
New Things I Learned Today:
  • Learned about Microsoft Publisher.
  • How to create brochures, calendars, flyers, and newsletters in Microsoft Publisher.
  • Learned that Publisher is easier to use when creating a calendar instead of using the MS Word Templates.
  • Learned that formatting is done in Publisher.  All that is required of you is to put in your own words, photos, and quotes.
New MS Word Ribbon Item:

"Review" has many options to use when creating a document.  The one that can be very useful when dealing with companies overseas is the "Translate" button.  This will help you to either translate a word, or a whole document using either the Bilingual Dictionary, or connect to the Internet to get a translation.  It will open a "Research" window and you can put in your word that you would like translated, for example: Hello--translated into French is Bonjour.   So, by utilizing the "Translate" tool will help in business communication across the globe.
