It is essential to learn to format Word Documents per the teacher's instructions, here in school and in college. You need to master this well, so that you can easily change margins, change indentation, change the orientation of the page, change line spacing, add tab stops, insert tables, insert pictures, create two or more columns, add Headers and Footers, add page numbers, etc. You must become familiar with the Ribbon in Microsoft Office 2011 (Macs) and 2010 (Windows). Most of you probably have Windows computers at home.
Feel free to use our textbook for more information. Presentation is always very important!
Tab Stops:
Tabs provide a way for you to control the
indentation and vertical alignment of text in your document. When you press the
Tab key, Word inserts a tab in the document; this moves the cursor—and
any text to the right of it—to the next tab
stop. By default, Word has tab stops at
1/2-inch intervals across the width of the page. You can modify the location of
tab stops and control the way text aligns
at a tab stop.
There are four basic types of tab stops (besides the first
line indent and the hanging indent tabs), and each aligns text differently:
- Left-aligned The left edge of text aligns at the tab stop. Word's default tab stops are left-aligned.
- Right-aligned The right edge of text aligns at the tab stop.
- Center-aligned The text is centered at the tab stop.
- Decimal-aligned The decimal point (period) is aligned at the tab stop. You use this type of tab for aligning columns of numbers.

In a Word Document enter theTitle: Kennel Log (bold) - like you see it below. Then, enter the following tab stops: Center Tab Stop on 1", Center Tab Stop on 1.75", Right Tab Stop on 3.25", and Decimal Tab Stop on 4". Enter all the information below, horizontally please! Pressing the Tab Key only once between entries. Bold the titles and then change the Decimal Tab Stop on the title "Weight (kg)" to a Center Tab Stop on 4". Change the information below the title "Name" to Italic. Enter your name in the footer - Left Aligned.
Insert a picture or two of dogs under the text, and wrap the pictures to "In front of text" so that you can move them around easily. Print for Mrs. Feld and make sure you save this document in the Server, under you account. Deleted from the local computer. Thank you...
Kennel Log
Name Age Kennel Feeding
Time Weight (kg)
Peach 12 19B 4 p.m. 8.5
Meatball 2 6C 6 p.m. 9.25
Mango 1 12A 6:30 p.m. 5.75
Booper 6 5A 2 p.m. 12.5
(Basically, the first column remains on "0" - no tab stop, the second column centered on 1", the third column centered on 1.75", and the fourth column, a decimal tab stop on 4" and later a center tab stop on 4" for the title "Weight" only.)
By now you should have two exercises done, the Vitamins one, and the Hawaiian Islands one (pages 107 and 108 from the Microsoft Office textbook). These two exercises MUST be in your accounts, and not in the local computers. If you still have difficulties understanding how to save your work in your accounts or understanding this type of exercises, please ask Mrs. Feld to assist you.
