Today, you will be working towards two distinct goals:

A) You will be learning some new and interesting techniques in Microsoft word. But first, you have to download the file found HERE

Make sure that you SAVE this file onto your desktop

You got it? OK, then lets get going!

1) The first thing we're going to do to this document is to make all the words in it bigger, and in a different "font" or type style. You do this by clicking on the "EDIT" command at the top left corner of your screen, then going to click "SELECT ALL". Then you choose a font and a size from their lists at the top center of the screen

You can make it any size between 16 and 30. You can choose any font except "Times New Roman" or some other font that I cannot read, such as Wing Dings

Make sure you click off the words once you are done!

2) The next thing we are going to do is we are going to make at least five words in it ALL CAPS. You make a word ALL CAPS by selecting it, then holding the SHIFT key while clicking on the "F3" key at the top of your keyboard

Here are some of the words you may choose from to make into ALL CAPS...your list may vary, but make it every bit as extensive:

Jefferson
Adams
British
declaration
Henry
Hamilton
Franklin
tyranny
independence
Livingstone
Rutledge

If you have trouble finding words, use the "FIND" feature by clicking on the "EDIT" command at top of the screen, then clicking on "FIND"

3) You can also change a whole bunch of words all at once using the "FIND AND REPLACE" method. You do this by clicking on the "EDIT" command at top of the screen, then clicking on "FIND AND REPLACE" You can use this to make every "the" in the article
ALL CAPS, SIZE 20 AND PINK, FOR EXAMPLE



When you are done, SAVE all your changes and then upload this new file to your "shared" folder on Box.com!


Cheers,
Mr. L
