Q and comma; Formatting tool bar - FA1

We will start with learning the Q (L4) and the comma (R2).  Warm up by typing all lines in Section 6F, p. 14 once.  After our warmup we will learn the Q and the comma.  After learning the Q, we will only have 1 more letter to learn - the Z!

In class today after learning these 2 new keys we will go over the Formatting Toolbar in Microsoft Word.  The Formatting Toolbar allows you to format your Word document in a variety of ways.  We will not cover everything on the toolbar, but what we do cover will be important for you to know as you continue to work on a computer and use Microsoft Word.

A quick thought on Microsoft Word - it is THE market leader in terms of Word processing software.  People in the business world use Word - they do not use Pages (or other word processing software).  If you learn to use Word you can figure out how to use Pages, but learning the ins and outs of Pages is not as advantageous to you because the chances of you using Pages frequently when you start a job is about 5%.

After learning the formatting toolbar you will have a Formatting Activity to complete.  The instructions are embedded on the blog below.  This will be due tomorrow (Thursday) by the end of the hour.  Before you submit this assignment I will need to show you how to attach a file to an email message so you can send me your assignment through email.  We will do that tomorrow.
