PROJECT STEPS

1. You are the events coordinator at the Lakeview Resort and Conference Center located on the shores of Lake Michigan north of Milwaulkee in Wisconsin. Lachlin Macpherson, the resort's general manager, has asked you to create a document that companies, organizations, and individuals can use to book an appointment to plan a special event at the conference center. You have already added the basic content and now need to increase its visual appeal and include elements to automate the document. Enable macros, if you are prompted, and then verify that the Macro Security setting disables all macros with notification. (Hint: If the Macro Security setting disables all macros without notification, select the "Disable all macros with notification" option, and then close the Project document without saving it. Perform the "Getting Started" steps again, saving a new copy of the Project document over the previous one.) Lachlin created a macro to use a custom paper size and margins, though these settings have recently changed. Modify the macro as follows:

a. Edit the FormSetup macro in the Visual Basic Editor.

b. Change the PageHeight value to 9.0 to set the new height.

c. Save the revised macro and exit the Visual Basic Editor.

d. Run the FormSetup macro to change the size of the document.

2. Insert a Rectangle as follows:

a. Select the Rectangle: Diagonal Corners Snipped style. [Mac Hint: Snip Diagonal Corner Rectangle]

b. Change the height to 1".

c. Change the width to 7.5" so that the shape spans the width of the page.

d. Change the text wrapping to Square and align the shape with the center and top of the page.

3. Add and format text in the rectangle:

a. Type Lakeview Resort and Conference Center in the rectangle.

b. Apply the Title style to the text.

c. Center the text.

4. Fill the rectangle with the Linear Down gradient from the Dark Variations section of the Gradient gallery.

5. Use the Manage Styles dialog box to copy the style named Events from the template file Support_WD365_8A_Events.dotx to your Project file. [Mac Hint: Click on Tools, Templates and Add-ins, and then click on the Organizer button.]

6. Apply the Events style to the text "Refer to the Events Packages Page on the resort website for pricing information."

7. Add Lachlin Macpherson as the Manager document property.

8. After the "For more information, contact" text in the header, insert a Quick Part using the Manager document property, close the header and footer. [Mac Hint: From the Header & Footer tab in the Ribbon, insert a Field. Select the Category Document information, and then select the Field name DocProperty. In the Options, select the Manager property, and then click OK and close the header and footer.]

9. Insert a Fill-in field at the end of each paragraph listed in Table 1 below. Include a prompt for each Fill-in field as shown in bold in Table 1. Do not enter any sample text when prompted.

10. Insert a Spanish translation as follows as a courtesy for employees whose first language is Spanish:

a. Set the translation language to Spanish.

b. Use the Office Translate feature to translate the text "Please return this form to the Events department at info@lakeview.cengage.com" to Spanish. (You must use the Office Translate feature to receive credit for this step.)

c. Copy and paste the Spanish translation into the first blank paragraph below the text "Please return this form to the Events department at info@lakeview.cengage.com" using the Merge Formatting paste option. [Mac Hint: Match Formatting]

11. Fill the shape at the bottom of the page as follows:

a. Insert the file Support_WD365_8A_Lakeview.jpg.

b. Compress the picture to E-mail (96 ppi) to reduce the size of the form file.
