What We Did Last Week

In Project 3 you learned to creating a resume using a wizard and creating a cover letter with a letterhead, a bulleted list, and a table. You used the Resume Wizard to create a resume and then used several formatting techniques to personalize the resume.  You viewed and printed the resume in print preview. You created a letterhead and then the cover letter. While creating the letterhead, you learned how to add color to characters, set custom tab stops, collect and paste between documents, and add a border to a paragraph.  You created an AutoText entry, which you used when you personalized the cover letter. Finally, you addressed and printed an envelope.

You also learned to creating a Web page by saving an existing Word document as a Web page file. You also created a new Web page with frames using the Web Page Wizard and then modified this Web page. You created a hyperlink to an e-mail address, one to a Web page file, and another to a Web site. Finally, you viewed and edited a Web page from the browser window.

Appendix B in your Word 2003 book discusses how you can create and modify documents using office 2003's new input technologies.  Office 2003 provides a variety of text services, which enable you to speak commands and enter text in an application.  The most common text service is the keyboard.  Two new text services included with Office 2003 are speech recognition and handwriting recognition.

Have fun exploring all of these nice features!
