Purpose: To demonstrate your ability to create a flyer by formatting text, importing and resizing images, spell
checking, and saving.
Problem: Your cats have recently had kittens. You want to give them out to good homes and so have decided
to make a flyer with some pictures of the kittens on it for people to see.
Instructions: Download the data files for use in creating the flyer from Canvas. Use the guidelines listed
below to enter the text for the flyer as shown in Figure 1 (See page 2). You are to format the flyer by making
the changes listed below so it appears as shown in Figure 2 (See page 2). Submit the flyer to Canvas. You may
leave after you have submitted your test.
Perform the following tasks:
1. Start Word. Type the flyer text as shown in Figure 1, unformatted. If Word flags any misspelled words
as you type, check their spelling and correct them. Figure 1 has misspellings. Fix them as you type.
2. Save the document using the file name, WordExamYourInitials.
Change the Document Properties:
Author: Your name
Title: Word Exam Your Initials
Subject: COM 140-10
3. Change the theme to Damask.
4. Center the headline, the Kitten Caretaker Specs line, and the signature line. (These are 3 separate lines.)
5. Change the font size of the headline to 48 point and the font to Lucida Handwriting. Bold the
headline. Change the font color of the headline to Orange, Accent 6. Shade the headline paragraph
Lavender, Accent 4, Darker 25%.
6. Change the font size of body copy between the headline and the signature line to 24 point. Change the
font to Rockwell, or a similar font.
7. Change the font size of the signature line to 22 point and the font to Lucida Handwriting. Bold
the text in the signature line. Change the font color of the text in the signature line to Lavender, Accent
