This week, we will be exploring the many functions of Microsoft Word. We will review the basic functions of MS Word - changing font colors and sizes, cutting and pasting, using bullets and number sequences. Next, we will explore inserting clip art, shapes, WordArt and symbols. For some of our new students this might be completely new. We do use MS Word quite a bit in the Upper School, so it is important the students familiarize themselves with the program.
A Challenge has been placed in each student's network folder. Part of the challenge is following the instructions! The text of the challenge is as follows:
