The intent of this activity is to learn some features of Microsoft Word. You will create a
text document and will save it in your disk or your ONID memory space. After
completing this activity, submit a copy of your finished document for grading. You can
submit your work as many times as you need until the due date.
Creating a Word Document
Find and open “Microsoft Word” application.
As the application launches it will start a new document. First, save the new file
on Home of the ONID memory.
oClick on File in the menu bar and choose (click on) Save As
oLocate ‘My Computer.’ You will then see a list of all drives available to
you, including one with your login name.
oThis is your ONID workspace, which consists of 30 Megabytes of
memory on a remote server. You can save and load files from this
workspace regardless of what computer on campus you’re working from.
For file name, type “Act1_lab section number_last name.doc” and click OK
(e.g. if I was in recitation section 9, my file would read “Act1_009_OHara.doc”).
Save your file often as you progress. After the first ‘save as’ you can use ‘save’
instead, and the application will save your file with the same name in the same
location. The shortcut for saving on a PC is “Ctrl” key and “s.”
At this point you need some text and information. Pick a topic that interests you,
or maybe something you desire to know more about. I suggest that you search the
World Wide Web for text to copy and paste, making note of each URL as your
source (you will need for number 3 below). Your document should not exceed
three pages.
1) Include a title in your document, appropriate to the subject, centered at the top of
page 1 in 16-point Arial font.
2) Add a header to the document with your name and section number in the upper
right corner, and footer with the page number in the center and date on the right.
3) Add at least two footnotes to your document.
4) Create a table of contents containing at least two levels of headings.
To add entries to the table of contents, text in your document must be
marked as a specific level of ‘Heading’ (Level 1, Level 2, and so on. The
higher the number, the more indented the text will be in the table of
contents.)
