PROJECT STEPS

1. You are the program coordinator at Evergreen Communications, a company that provides business communications and marketing courses to local businesses in Montreal, QC. Your manager, Merilee Ng, has asked you to create a document that companies, organizations, and individuals can use to enroll in a course. You have already added the basic content and now need to increase the document's 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.) Merilee 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 DocSetup macro in the Visual Basic Editor.

b. Change the PageHeight value to 8.5 to set the new height.

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

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

2. Insert a Rectangle as follows:

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

b. Change the height to 1.2".

c. Change the width to 7.45" 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 Evergreen Communications in the rectangle.

b. Apply the Title style to the text.

c. Center the text.

4. Fill the rectangle with the Linear Diagonal – Top Left to Bottom Right gradient from the Dark Variations section of the Gradient gallery.

5. Use the Manage Styles dialog box to copy the style named Courses from the template file Support_WD365_8B_Courses.dotx to your Project file. [Mac Hint: Click on Tools, Templates and Add-ins, and then click on the Organizer button.]

6. Apply the Courses style to the text "Refer to the Courses Page on the company website for course descriptions and pricing information."

7. Add Merilee Ng 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, then 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.
