PS Ch. 8-- "Makin' It Easy"

In Microsoft word there is something called “Wizard”. A wizard is similar to a template, but it asks you questions and creates a document based on your answers. Wizard is used for memos, letters, faxes, and reports. Mail merging with wizard is combining information that personalizes it. Mail Merge Wizard is used in letters, for example, you might send a letter to each member of a professional organization. In each letter, the text is the same but the names of the recipients are different. Wizard is useful to make things easier for you, it is just making it to where you do not have to write each letter a billion different times, all you need is the addresses and a printer and you are good. It is just a way to keep things short, simple and to the point.

PS Ch. 6-- "Word Tells Pictures"

In this blog we are supposed to write about why someone would use graphics while preparing a MS Word document, where they come from, and how to put them in Word. Well someone might use graphics in Word because they are making a newspaper, a pamphlet, a sign, a chart, a handbook, or invitations. Using graphics can help be more organized, clearer about what you’re saying, and put some creativity into your work. Most graphics people use in Word come from clip-art. To do this you go to Insert on the menu and choose Clip-art. The Clip-art task pane opens. From there you just type in a specific subject and it looks it up for you. After that you go through the list and decide which one you want. After choosing which one you want, click the arrow next to the picture. When the drop down list appears click on insert. Then you have a picture in your work. You can also get pictures and graphics off the internet. This is how you put pictures into your MS Word document and why you would.

PS Ch. 4-- "Word in My Future"

This blog is about how I think I will use Microsoft Word in my future. Well it really all depends on what kind of career I take on, but if I were to become a teacher I would probably use it a lot. I would have to teach it, read about it, so most definitely I will probably use it a lot. Then again if I become an animal control cop then I probably won’t use it that much unless I am typing a complaint or something like that. Then again I could just go to school the rest of my life and use it when ever I have a paper due. But I believe this blog depends on the future cause you never really know?!

PS Ch. 3-- "My Microsoft Word Article Summary"

This blog is supposed to be about an article about Microsoft Word you find in a newspaper, magazine, ect. So I found an article in the Denver Post about how after five years Microsoft Word is launching its new program called “Vista OS”. Steve Ballmer the chief executive says “it’s the biggest launch in their company’s history.” Although most people won’t get to use this new program until January 30 the big companies get to experience this new program first hand.
