CSE 111 - Fall 2002

Lab #2

 

Background

In last lab, we explored the web and email and learned how to do some basic “housekeeping” on the system, by learning how to create directories and save our files.  In this lab, we will explore the basics of a word processing program, Microsoft Word.

 

The TA will begin lab by introducing some of the ideas that you will need to complete the lab.  Ask the TA if you have any questions about the contents of the lab, or if you are unsure how to accomplish a specific task.

 

Creating a Folder for Lab 2

Recall from last lab that we created a folder for our Lab 1 work.   Refer back to those directions and create a folder in CSE111 entitled Lab2 that you will save all your Lab 2 work in.

 

Creating a Word Document

You will create a word document on a subject of your choice containing the following elements.  Please note, that while the content of the document is entirely your discretion, please refrain from putting things in your document that could be viewed as inappropriate or offensive.  Such papers will receive no credit. 

 

If you do not remember how to do any of the following, refer to your lecture notes, or seek out assistance from your instructor or teaching assistant during office hours.  Note that the requirements for the document must be followed exactly.  You will not receive full credit for the lab if there are any portions missing.

 

1)      The document must be at least two full pages in length.

2)      Margins on both pages should be set at .75” on top and bottom and 1.25” on left and right.

3)      At least two different font faces should be present in the document.

4)      At least two different font sizes should be present in the document.

5)      At least two different font colors should be present in the document.

6)      Two of the paragraphs must be spaced differently. (For example, one single spaced, and one double spaced)

7)      At least two font effects.  One of the Font effects must be from the Format -> Font menu, not from the toolbar.

8)      There must be one symbol inserted from the Insert -> Symbol menu.

9)      There must be two text alignments presented in the document.

10)  There must be a list of elements in the document, either bulleted or numbered.

11)  There must be a section of text that is shaded.

12)  The pages must be numbered in a footer.  The first page should not be numbered

13)  There should be a header containing your name, student number, and lab section.

14)  An image should be inserted in the document.  The image can be either a clip art or a photographic image.  The choice of type of image and what the image represents is yours.

 

 

What should I hand in and when is this due? 

You should save your document on a 3.5” floppy disk and hand in the disk at the beginning of lecture on Monday, September 23, 2002.  If you can fit this file on the disk for Lab 1, that would be preferred.  However, if you need more space, you may submit more than one disk.  Make sure each disk has your name on it.
