B. On your floppy disk (but not inside the Evaluation folder you just copied), create a folder named Word.

C. On your floppy disk (but not inside the Evaluation folder you just copied), create a folder named PPt.

D. In the Evaluation folder on your floppy, delete the file named DeleteMe.DOC

E. In the Evaluation folder on your floppy, change the name of the file RenameMe.DOC to NewName.DOC

A. Start Word; from your floppy disk open \Evaluation\OpenWord.DOC. Reformat it according to the steps below.

(The remaining steps can be done in any order. Don't spend a lot of time on one if you're stuck; move on to things you can do and come back to your "problems" later.)

B. Following the word "Reformatted:" in about the 7th line of the document, use Word's ability to display the date, turning on its option to update automatically, which will cause the date to change automatically each time the document is opened.

C. Change the first heading line "Computers become mainstays in dorms" to 24 point bold

D. Change the next heading "As jobs..., administrators say" to 18 point

E. Italicize "The Jackson Sun"

F. Boldface "Reported:" and "Reformatted:"

G. Change the left, right, top, and bottom margins for the entire document to .5"

H. Divide the document into two sections so that the beginning text down to and including the "Reformatted" line can be formatted as a title page. Format the title page so that all text on that page is centered left-to-right and top-to-bottom.

I . Change the first-line indentation for each paragraph of text from .5" to .25", after the title page and before "The Local Picture" portion near the end of the article.

J. Change the paragraph alignment from Left to Justified, for all text except the title page.

K. Change the headings "The Local Picture" and "Cheaper PCs" to bold and underlined

L. Change the college headings (Freed-Hardeman University, Lambuth University, Lane College, and Union University) to be boldfaced. While you're at it, make John David's name boldfaced in the Union paragraph; it's his 15 minutes of fame! He's entitled!

M. For your 15 minutes of fame, add a blank line and a paragraph after the Union paragraph and before the Cheaper PCs section that starts out "Current Union student (insert your name in boldfaced type) reacted to the possibility of having to own a computer by saying", then finish the paragraph with your comments (serious or not-so-serious). Include in your comments a list of at least 3 reasons why you would or would not want to be required to own a computer. Format the list of reasons as a bulleted list.

N. Run a spell-check.

O. Have the page numbers appear automatically on every page (except the title page) at the bottom right of the page. The word "Page " should precede each page number. For example, at the bottom right of page two, you should see "Page 2".

P. Change all text except the title page to be double-spaced.

Q. Make sure each heading stays on the same page as the text which follows it.

R. Save your work and exit Word.

A. Start PowerPoint; form your floppy disk open \Evaluation\OpenPPt.PPT. Modify the presentation as described below.

(The remaining steps can be done in any order. Don't spend a lot of time on one if you're stuck; move on to things you can do and come back to your "problems" later.)

B. Run a spell-check

C. Add your name as a subtitle on the first slide

D. Add a new item on the second slide, after "Florida requiring now" that says "Union considering a requirement"

E. Add a slide to the end with the title "My Feelings" and at least three points on that slide, similar to the comments you made in the Word document.

F. For all slides, apply the "Blinds Horizontal" transition effect.

G. For all slides, apply the "Fly from Bottom" build effect, dimming the previous points as each new point appears

H. Use a background of your choosing (but not white!) - tell me if your computer does not automatically locate the list of Presentation Designs after you choose the appropriate command to begin this action.

I. Save your presentation. Run it to make sure it works as it should for each slide, providing a transition between each slide, bringing in each point from the bottom, and dimming the previous points.
