Title: Project 2.1
Course: CGS1061: Introduction to Computers > Section: Microsoft Office and Word Processing

Directions: Using the Internet, school library, your textbook and other resources, complete ALL THREE parts listed below and develop your responses. For this project, you will create TWO separate documents. In the first document, include Parts A and B. Title the document Project 2.1. Create a separate document for Part B and title it Project 2.1B. Clearly title each part.

For any information that you found in your research, type the name of the resource (web page, book title, etc.) in parenthesis at the end of the information, then create ONE References page for all three parts at the end of the document. For examples, see the Syllabus.

Part A: Open and explore Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint. Create a list of at least 10 similarities and differences you see in the programs. What are some common uses for each program?

Part B: Download the file attached above (Project 2.1.docx) to your computer. Save it as Project2.1B.  Use the directions in your text (or research how to do them online) to perform the following tasks:

- Turn on the non-printing characters in the document.
- Copy and paste the following paragraph to the bottom of item #10:

Once you have pictures, videos, charts or other graphic elements in your document, chances are good the next step you take is moving and resizing them – tweaking the placement until the document layout looks just the way you want.  In Word 2013, the Layout Options button will show up when you select the content and lets' you quickly choose a text wrapping option.

- Change the font size and style to match the original document. Change the font color of this paragraph ONLY to red.
- Indent this paragraph.
- Double-space the entire document.
- Create an extra space at the end of item #6 by pressing the space bar once.
- Create a page break between items #5 and #4.
- Format the last sentence of item #2 to include bullet points OR numbering. Using cut and paste, insert "all without leaving Word." after "at your fingertips". Delete the colon (:).
- Using the Find and Replace tool, replace the word "Word" with the words "Microsoft Word".
- Spell and grammar check the entire document.
- Save the changes to the document.

Attach this document as a separate file IN ADDITION TO the document for Parts A and C.

Part C: Research and explore the following procedures:

- creating output documents in electronic format, including PDF, fax, e-mail attachment, and Web content;
- using tools that support collaboration creation and editing of documents
- protecting a document from unauthorized viewing or modification.

Create a listing of the steps or procedures for these tasks providing a short description for each step.
