PROJECT STEPS
1. You work for Clearline Events, a New York-based company that helps individuals and organizations plan special events. Your supervisor, Josef Mkambo, has written a one-page event planning checklist to distribute to potential clients to help them plan their event. Josef asks you to format the document and also to create a macro to format a testimonial of a client's event planning experience with Clearline Events that you'll include on a separate page. Modify the page color by applying the Dotted 5% pattern fill (1st column, 1st row in the selection of patterns) to lighten up the document and make it easier to read.
2. Format the picture of the notepads to give it more impact as follows:
a. Remove the background from the picture so only the checklist with the pencilis left (don't worry if a bit of top is cut off).
b. Apply the Light Screen artistic effect.
3. Modify the lightning bolt shape:
a. Change the lightning bolt shape to a Smiley Face shape.
b. Format the shape with the Round bevel effect.
4. Group the happy face shape and the notepad picture into one object so that you can easily move it to another location in the document.
5. Change the Text Wrapping to Square so none of the text is covered.
6. Select the words "goals and objectives", "date," and "budget" in the numbered list , then create a character style called Priority that uses the following formats: Bold,Underline, and the Turquoise, Accent 1 font color (5th column, 1st row in the Theme Colors palette).
7. Select "goals and objectives" and modify the Priority character style as follows:
a. Remove the underlining.
b. Change the Font color to Blue, Accent 2 (6th column, 1st row in the Theme Colors palette).
c. Update the Priority character style to match the selection.
8. Convert the table that appears below the text "Here's a table to fill…six major event components" to text so all the information appears on page 1 of the document.
9. To the right of the tabbed text, insert a text box and format as follows:
a. Select the Simple Text Box.
b. Enter the text Stay on Budget!
c. Change the width of the text box to 1.7".
d. Apply Bold to the text.
e. Change the font size to 16 point so the text appears over two lines.
f. Center the text in the text box.
g. Apply the Moderate Effect – Blue, Accent 2 shape style (3rd column, 5th row in the Theme Styles palette).
h. Move the text box to the right of the tabbed text so the top is even with the third line of tabbed text. See Figure 1.
