What
We Did Last Week
Project 2 introduced you to creating a research paper
using the MLA documentation style. You learned how to change margin
settings, adjust line spacing, create headers with page numbers, and
indent paragraphs. You learned how to use Word's AutoCorrect feature.
Then, you added a footnote in the research paper. You alphabetized the
works cited page by sorting its paragraphs and included a hyperlink to a
Web page in one of the works. You learned how to count words, browse
through a Word document, move text, and find and replace text. You looked
up a synonym and checked spelling and grammar in the entire document.
Finally, you navigated to a hyperlink and e-mailed a copy of a document.
By the way, some of you still have questions on SAM2003.
You have to have Shockwave installed on your computer in order to use SAM
(Skill Assessment Manager). Also, you have to have an account with SAM2003 at
http://sam2003.course.com to use SAM
in this course.
Here is how:
- Install the SAM2003 CD you received at the orientation.
- Click on the SAM2003 icon on the desktop
to go to http://sam2003.course.com.
- Enter your username and password
to login. Do not login as a
new user. Please contact me if you don't have your username and
password.
- You will see a list of 5 exams at the beginning of the listing after
you login. Do
not select any exam. They are the actual exams you are going to take for
this term. Click on Exam only when you are ready to take the tests on
Windows XP, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Access at the test center.
- Select any Training from the assignment list to
launch training.
SAM is
performance-based learning. For each skill you want to master, a
SAM activity provides four learning modes:
-
Prepare
- Provides important conceptual information about each skill, including
definitions of key terms and graphics illustrating commonly used
features of each application. Offers step-by-step instructions for the
most common methods used to perform the skill.
-
Observe
- Watch a narrated animation that allows you to see and hear how a skill
is completed in the application.
-
Practice
- Helps you master a skill by guiding you, step by step, through the
process of performing a task. You will practice in a realistic
simulation of the application.
-
Apply
- Allows you to test your knowledge by working on your own, in a
realistic simulation of the application, without step-by-step guidance.
You can access Prepare, Observe, Practice,
and Apply at any time, moving among them in any order to create the
learning program that best suits you. You can also access any learning
mode as many times as you like. The real test is very much similar to the
test you take using Apply mode in SAM.
SAM2003 is a great learning and assessment tool. It includes all the skills you should master to
pass the Microsoft MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) exam. However, the real
test will only include the tasks you learned in your Word 2003 textbook.
We will continue to work on Word 2003 this week. Please do not hesitate to call or email me if you have
any questions. You can also make an appointment to come to my
office if you need help on your course.
Have
fun exploring Word!

AutoText entry, which you will use when you personalize the cover

Word document as a Web page file. You will also create a new Web page with
frames using the Web Page Wizard and then modify this Web page. You will create
a hyperlink to an e-mail address, one to a Web page file, and another to a Web
site. Finally, you will view and edit a Web page from the browser window.
