====== Microsoft Word 2010 Exercise 2 ======

===== Styles =====
While you can use paragraph and font formatting to make the various parts of you document appear as you wish, Word defines a range of default Styles that are available for your use. Using Styles is highly encouraged because:
  * Styles can be used as the basis for automatically generating Table of Contents and similar tasks.
  * If you change the definition of a Style, then all text formatted with that style in your document will automatically be updated to reflect the changes.

You can also define new Styles in addition to the ones that Word provides by default, but this is not covered in this exercise.

==== Applying a Style to the desired text ====
  - Select the text to which you want to apply the Style
    * If it's a paragraph style (which is very often the case), then you only need to place the cursor in the paragraph.
  - On the Home tab, in the Styles group:
    * click the Style you wish to apply to the text //or//
    * for a more complete list of available styles, click the Styles dialog box button and select the Style from the list that appears.

==== Applying a Style Set to the document ====
Style Sets are sets of predefined styles that you can use to change the overall style of your document.

To change the Style Set:
  - On the **Home** tab in the **Styles** group, cleck the **Change Styles** button
  - In the menu that appears, over over the Style Set item
  - In the menu that appears, hover over the desired Style Set's name to see a live preview and click on the name to apply it to the document

==== Changing the definition of a Style ====
Your lab instructor will show you how to do this in lab session if there is time.

==== Changing the document's paragraph spacing ====
Very often in academic writing, you will be requested to submit documents that are //doubled spaced// (i.e., have a space between lines that is the same as a blank line). This is to allow enough room for someone reviewing your work to write comments. Other situations may require other line spacings. Default line spacing is governed by the Style Set; however, it is easy to globally change the line spacing for a document.

To change the document's default line spacing:
  - On the **Home** tab in the **Styles** group, click the **Change Styles** button
  - In the menu that appears, over over the **Paragraph Spacing** item
  - In the menu that appears, hover over the desired spacing name to see a live preview and click on the name to apply it to the document.
    * For more options, select the **Custom Paragraph Spacing** item

===== Lists =====
You can quickly add bullets or numbers to existing lines of text, or Word can automatically create lists as you type.

==== Turning existing lines into a list ====
  - Select the text you want to turn into a list. (Each paragraph in what you select will become a list item.)
  - On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, use one of the List icons (in the upper left) to select the kind of list and formatting.

Available list formats include:

  * Simple bullets (small dots)
  * Graphic bullets (check marks and similar simple graphics)
  * Numbered lists in a variety of numbering formats
  * Multilevel lists (typically used in combination with Styles)

==== Automatically starting a list ====
By default, if you start a paragraph with an asterisk (//*//) or the number '1' followed by a period (//1.//), Word recognizes that you are trying to start a bulleted or numbered list. (If you don't want your text turned into a list, you can click the AutoCorrect Options button  that appears.)

===== Automatic Text =====
Word lets you insert into your document various kinds of automatic text.
  * To insert a //page number//, go to the **Insert** tab, **Header & Footer** group, click on the **Page Number** icon and select the desired option.
  * To insert the current //date and/or time//, go to the **Insert** tab, **Text** group, click on the **Date & Time** icon and select the desired format. You may also check the **Update automatically** checkbox if you want the date and time to be updated whenever the document is accessed.
  * Many other bits of automatic text are available under **Insert** tab, **Text** group, click on the **Quick Parts** icon, **Document Property** menu.

===== Word Practice: Modifying an Existing Document =====

==== Open an Existing Document ====

Open the document {{:msoffice:msword:henri_matisse.docx|}}. Note that when you open a document that you downloaded from an untrusted source, Microsoft Word will open it in "Protected" (i.e., read-only) mode.

The document that you open should have the following text(("Henri Matisse | Fauves Artist." Lucidcafé Interactive Café and Information Resource. http://www.lucidcafe.com/library/95dec/matisse.html (accessed February 24, 2011).)) in it:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

''Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954): Fauves Artist''

''Henri Matisse was born in December of 1869 in Le Cateau, France. He began painting during a convalescence from an operation, and in 1891 moved to Paris to study art. Matisse became an accomplished painter, sculptor and graphic designer, and one of the most influential artists of the 1900s.''

''He was the leader of the Fauves, a group of artists whose style emphasized intense color and vigorous brushstrokes. He believed the arrangement of colors was as important as a painting's subject matter to communicate meaning. He avoided detail, instead using bright color and strong lines to create a sense of movement. In 1905, works by Matisse and other Fauve painters were exhibited together. The bold forms and bright colors of these paintings shocked the Paris art world.''

''Matisse's work reflects a number of influences: the decorative quality of Near Eastern art, the stylized forms of the masks and sculpture of African, the bright colors of the French impressionists, and the simplified forms of French artist Paul Cezanne and the cubists.''

==== Format The Document ====

Format the document above to look like the document shown {{:msoffice:msword:henri_matisse.pdf|here}}.

To accomplish this:
  - Apply a //Title// style to the first line.
  - Use //Relaxed// line spacing for the entire document.
  - Make the word "Fauves" italic.
  - Place a border around the entire page with the thinnest parallel lines. 
  - Turn the comma separated list of Matisse's influences into a bulleted list.
  - Add a header showing the course title, your first and last name, and your ID number.
  - Add a footer showing the date and time.
  - **Save**, **Print Preview**, and **Print** the document, then hand in the hard copy to the lab instructor.
