Shelly Cashman Word 2016 | Module 5: SAM Project 1b Julia Hawkins COMPLETE A COVER LETTER BASED ON A TEMPLATE GETTING STARTED • Open the file SC_WD16_5b_FirstLastName_1.docx, available for download from the SAM website. • Save the file as SC_WD16_5b_FirstLastName_2.docx by changing the “1” to a “2”. o • If you do not see the .docx file extension in the Save As dialog box, do not type it. The program will add the file extension for you automatically. With the file SC_WD16_5b_FirstLastName_2.docx still open, ensure that your first and last name is displayed in the footer. o If the footer does not display your name, delete the file and download a new copy from the SAM website. PROJECT STEPS 1. You are updating a cover letter to send to a potential employer. To make sure the letter fits on one page, set custom document margins by changing the top and bottom margins to 0.75". 2. To create a custom look for the letter, change the body font of the document theme to Georgia, and then save the customized theme font using Letter as the name. (Hint: You do not need to change the heading font.) 3. Modify the Heading 2 style to use the Franklin Gothic Book font, which is the font for headings in the document theme. 4. To further customize the document’s appearance, apply the Black & White (Capitalized) style set. 5. Replace the placeholder text in the content controls by typing the information shown in bold in Table 1 on the next page. Shelly Cashman Word 2016 | Module 5: SAM Project 1b Table 1: Text for Content Controls Content Control Replacement Text Recipient Name Ms. Myra Joshi Recipient Title and Name Ms. Joshi Posting Location College Jobs website Position Title Library Assistant 6. Delete the Position content control, which is not needed in this letter. 7. In the second body paragraph, format the Institution Name content control, which displays “Chapel Hill Community College Library”, so that the text color appears in Rose, Accent 6, Darker 50% (10th column, 6th row of the Font Color gallery), making it stand out from the surrounding text. 8. In the “Requirements and Skills” table, move the “Bachelor’s degree” row so that it appears after the “Excellent oral and written communication skills” row to emphasize the strong public service orientation. 9. Add a row to the table and reduce the amount of typing required by copying and pasting a row as follows: a. Copy the “Strong public service orientation” row, and then paste it immediately above the “Bachelor’s degree” row so that it becomes the new row 4. b. In the new row 4, replace the text “Strong public service orientation” with the text Outstanding problem-solving skills to add a requirement. 10. Create a 1.0" Left indent and a 1.0" Right indent for the note paragraph below the table (“See www.juliahawkins.cengage.net…online content.”) to offset the note. 11. In the last body paragraph (“If you have questions…and your library.”), format the “juliahawkins@cengage.net” email address as a hyperlink using the information shown in bold in Table 2 below.

Shelly Cashman Word 2016 | Module 5: SAM Project 1b 12. Check the compatibility of the document, noting the second issue that Word identifies. To make the document compatible with earlier versions of Word, delete this incompatible element from the document. (Hint: The only shape or text box in the document is the signature.) 13. To allow more room for the signature and use standard formatting, format the “Sincerely,” complimentary close paragraph as follows: a. Remove the italics. b. Change the font color to Automatic. c. Change the Spacing Before and After to 10 pt. d. Create a paragraph style based on the formats in the “Sincerely,” text, using Letter Close as the name of the new style. 14. Apply the new Letter Close style to the “Enclosure” paragraph at the end of the document. 15. To indicate that you are finished updating the letter, remove the “Draft” watermark. 16. Check the Spelling & Grammar in the document to identify and correct any spelling errors. (Hint: Ignore names. You should find and correct at least one spelling error.) Your document should look like the Final Figure on the following page. Save your changes, close the document, and then exit Word. Follow the directions on the SAM website to submit your completed project.
