PROJECT STEPS

1. You work in the Human Resources department at Southwest Rail, a Denver-based train company that operates rail journeys from Denver throughout the southwest United States. You've been asked to format a safety report that details information about the company's health and safety practices. Modify the page color by applying the Parchment texture to make the document more attractive in keeping with the company's focus on southwest-themed colors.

2. Apply the Crisscross Etching artistic effect to the picture of the train tracks to lighten it up and give it more impact.

3. Modify the sun shape:

a. Change the shape to a lightning bolt shape.

b. Format the shape with the Round bevel effect.

4. Group the lightning bolt shape and the picture into one object so that you can easily move it to another location in the document.

5. Move the grouped object up so it appears to the right of "Safety Report" at the top of the page, and change the Text Wrapping to Square so none of the text is covered. See Figure 1.

6. Select the words "Prevention", "Improvement," and "Protection" in the bulleted list below the "Health & Safety Objectives" heading, then create a character style called Objectives that uses the following formats: Bold, Italic, and the Orange, Accent 1 font color (5th column, 1st row in the Theme Colors palette).

7. Select "Prevention" and remove italics and change the Font color to Dark Red, Accent 2 (6th column, 1st row in the Theme Colors palette), then update the Objectives character style to match the selection.

8. Convert the table that appears in the "Accident Incidents" section to text so it matches the formatting of the other text in the document.

9. Format the picture of the train on the second page of the report to transform it into an exciting graphic that is similar to the graphic on page 1:

a. Remove the background from the picture so only the train is left.

b. Apply the Crisscross Etching artistic effect.

10. Below the train picture, insert a text box and format as follows:

a. Select the Simple Text Box.

b. Enter the text Southwest Rail Puts Safety First!

c. Change the width of the text box to 4".

d. Center the text in the text box.

e. Apply the Intense Effect – Dark Red, Accent 2 shape style (3rd column, 6th row in the Theme Styles palette).

Your document should look like the Final Figure on the following pages. Save your changes, close the document, and then exit Word. Follow the directions on the website to submit your completed project.
