Homework: Word Processing Basics

Assignment:

Produce a two-page document in Microsoft Word with the following features:

· Centered title in bigger font than the text

· Double-spaced text (and not by hitting the <enter> button twice!)

· Page numbers

· Footnotes

· No spelling errors (i.e., you have run spell-check)

· Indented, single-space quotations of paragraph length

· Standard, 1” margins

· Italicized titles and/or foreign terms, where appropriate

· 12 pt. font size, preferably “Times New Roman”

Content is irrelevant at this point—write whatever you want, but try to use some CJK terms (these will be handy when doing Homework #2). In order for the instructor to accurately grade your work, YOU MUST SUBMIT THIS ASSIGNMENT ELECTRONICALLY. There are many ways to hide bad formatting in a hard copy, and that’s not what we want. Send the assignment as attachments (see below) in an e-mail to the instructor. BE SURE YOUR E-MAIL CLEARLY IDENTIFIES WHO YOU ARE. If your alias is something like naked_monkey@hotmail.com I will have no idea from whom it came.

Also, you must submit a .doc (Word) document AND an .rtf (Rich Text Format), to prove that you know how to “Save As”
