Publish It!

1. Open Microsoft Word.
2. Change all the margins to 1.0".
3. Create and key a two-word title for your newsletter which includes either your first or last name.
4. When you are done with the title, toggle the Show/Hide (¶) tool so it is on.
5. Press the [Enter] key twice so that you now have blank lines below your title.
    
6. Now select just your title and increase the font size to 36, change the color of the font to something interesting, and change the font style to something other than the default.  (Note: If your title takes two lines, adjust the font style to something else that makes it fit on one line.)
    
7. Save your document as "Publish It".
8. Go to the Common Drive under the Office 2010 folder and open the Word document called “Newsletter Content”. Select all the text using the shortcut Ctrl + A.  
9. Copy and paste all of this text to your newsletter next to the second ¶ below your title.
    
10. Select all of the text in the first two paragraphs. Set your font to Arial, Size 10, and make sure the text color is black. Full-justify these two paragraphs.
11. You will need to format these paragraphs only into 2 columns. To do this, follow the next step carefully. With the text still selected, go to Page Layout tab > Page Setup Group > Columns > More Columns >  Select 2 > Apply to: selected text > OK Your first two paragraphs should now be in two columns.
12. Now select the remaining paragraphs (not the adopted from citation), and set them to be three columns with a line in between each column. Change the font style and color for these paragraphs, but do not change the font size.
13. Leave the last paragraph alone (Adopted from…) so that it does not have any columns.
14. Now, move your cursor back near the top of the page so that it is blinking on the line just below the title (at the beginning of the line of the first Section Break).
15. Insert a single line border just underneath the title. Page Layout tab > Page Background Group > Page Borders > Click on the “Borders” tab > Choose color and style options > Check the Preview Window >Look in the preview section of this dialog box to make sure that the top border of the box is the only one selected/visible. You should not see a border that looks like a box. It should simply be a single line.
    

     

16. Save your work.
    

     

17. Now, you need to insert two images into your columns. To do this correctly, follow the next steps. Determine what the content is about and then find one clipart image and one photo image online that are related. Save these images to your directory by right-clicking on it and selecting Save Picture As...
18. Move your cursor to the space just before your title and insert the clipart picture here. We now need to format this image so that it fits better in the newsletter title. With the image selected, you should notice up at the top of the screen where the tabs are located, that there is a "Picture Tools Format" tab opened.  You will use this to make adjustments to the picture.
     
19. Change the size of the image to .75” in height; the width should adjust automatically. 
20. In the Arrange section, look for Wrapping. Click on the Text wrapping option and choose Square.
    

     

21. Insert the photo image in the space after the last paragraph ending in “…even if you are still conversing.”
22. Change the settings for this image: 1” in height and default width, text wrapping tight, centered in the column, and apply the “soft edge oval” picture style.
23. Save your work.
    

     

24. Now you need to set the first letter of the first word in the first paragraph to be a drop cap. (The “C” on “Communicating”). Follow the next step to do this. Select (highlight) just the letter “C”. Go to the Insert tab and select Drop Cap. Select the "Drop Cap Options" from the list of options.
25. Select Dropped, change the font style and make sure that it is dropping it 3 lines. Change the font of the drop cap letter to match the font used on the title of your newsletter.
    

     

26. Save your work.
    

     

27. Go back and click on the Home tab.
     
28. Select all of the paragraphs that are in the three column portion of the newsletter. Apply the Justify Alignment to these paragraphs.
29. Select the “Adopted from” line at the end of the newsletter and format the alignment to right.
30. Now we are going to change the amount of spacing between each line. Word automatically sets the line spacing to 1 line space between each line.
     
31. Select all of the text in the first two paragraphs (two column portion).  DO NOT select any more than you need to.
     
32. Just to the right of the alignment icons, click on the Line Spacing pull down and select 1.15 lines. You should notice that the text is now spread out a little farther between each line.
    

     

33. Now we are going to use our Headers and Footers. A Header is a place at the top of each page where you can put something that will appear on every page in your document. A footer is a place at the bottom of every page where you can put something that will appear on every page.
34. Insert Tab > Header > Select the "Blank" type
35. You should now see a dashed line at the top of your page.
36. Select the text box and use the Date/Time icon to insert the current date and check the box to have this updated automatically.
     
37. Use the Right-Align tool back at the Home tab to get the date to align to the right side of the Header.
38. Double-click below the dashed line to close out of the header. Note you should see the date in the upper-right corner.
39. Insert a Footer, select the blank type again.
40. Type "Created by (your name)" and align on the right-hand side of the footer,
41. Save your work.
42. Some final adjustments to fit the newsletter to one page.. Change the margins to “Narrow” and delete the “Adopted by” line of text. Finally, delete the paragraph symbol just before the second paragraph in the two column area of the newsletter. Your newsletter should now fit to one page!
