4. Draw attention to the flyer's headline paragraph "New Employee Orientation" as follows:

7. Bold the times "9:30 am–1:30 pm" in the paragraph beginning "Monday, February 3…" to coordinate the formatting of the date and times.

8. Format the last paragraph to make it stand out. Apply the paragraph shading Aqua, Accent 2, Lighter 80% (6th column, 2nd row in the Theme Colors Palette) to the entire paragraph.

9. Add the words we're covering: to the sentence beginning "Here are the topics…" so that it reads "Here are the topics we're covering:".
