Project 3

Project 3: Documents for Personal and Business Use

 

Word processing is a basic skill that everyone who uses a computer should possess. You will use word-processing skills in all areas of your life — home, school, and as you enter the workforce. It’s time to extend your word-processing skills beyond the basics and begin mastering the many functions and capabilities of your word-processing software. In this course, you will use software features and functions to easily produce professional-looking documents faster than ever before. Whether you are writing an application letter or preparing an English paper, INF2050: Word Processing 2 will help you develop industry-recognized workplace skills that employers expect those entering the work force to have.

 

What is Required to Complete this Project?

 

In order to be successful, you will need

• access to a computer with word-processing software (all examples for this course are based on Microsoft Office Word 2007)
  
  
• a place to create an INF2050: WP 2 folder in which to save your work (discuss with your teacher as to where to store this folder; e.g. on a network, in a folder, on a flash drive, on your personal desktop)

What Do I Already Know?

• You already have basic word-processing software skills.
  
  
• You have prepared personal letters, reports, tables, and documents with graphics.
