our solo tours. Solo tours are for people that want to spend time
exploring the world have fun while enjoying the comradery of other
interesting and engaging bikers!
Family Getaway
Family Getaway tours are for families with older teens and 20-
somethings. Families that want to give their young adults an adventure

tours just what they need. Families have done these trips to
commemorate graduations or to celebrate 18th or 21st milestone
birthdays.
Private
Private tours are designed for groups that want to enjoy ultimate luxury
while reconnecting with people they care about the most. These tours are
planned with your group in mind.
Tour Activity Levels

At Wandering Travel, we plan tours with flexibility in mind because
bikers pace may vary from one day to the nextand other bikers pace may
vary from yours. So each day you get to decide what and how much you
want to do.
Travelers who prefer a slower pace can easily dial back the physical
activity. Need a lift over a hill? Or are you done for the day? No
problem we are there to support you regardless of the route you have
taken. If the trip seems too challenging or perhaps you are traveling with
a stronger rider, rent an e-bike and get a boost all day long.
Travelers that are looking for a challenging ride and an all-day adventure
we have you covered. Our tour guides are prepared to let you pedal to
your heart’s content. Riders that are way ahead of the pack are not left
alone our guides will be there to support you.
Where We Travel
We plan trips all over the world, each year we take customers to Europe,
South Africa, Latin America, the South Pacific, Canada and of course
we tour in the United States. Our Europe tours include England,
Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Norway and Switzerland. Stay closer
to home with trips to the Canadian Rockies or Nova Scotia. We even
have a two country tour in Vermont and Quebec.

Families find touring in the US provides a great learning experience for
children by touring Alaska, California, Florida, Hawaii, New Mexico or
Utah and Arizona.
Bikes
Wandering Travel proudly uses custom built titanium bikes for all our
tours. Nine Cycle Inc. designs and builds all the bikes we use on our
tours.
Titanium Road Bike
Custom-built titanium bikes are used on all our tours we offer different
models for varied terrain. Weighing in at two pounds less than their
predecessor, our updated road bikes feature a newly designed titanium
frame that is lighter and more responsive than ever. Our bikes include
triple chaining, an ergonomic saddle, tires suited to the terrain and an
adjustable handlebar stem to dial in your ideal ride position. Flat pedals
or toe cages with straps are available. You can also bring your own
pedals. This bike is available with upright handlebars or with dropped
handlebars.
Titanium Mountain Bike

We use titanium mountain bikes that are designed for more comfortable
riding on trips where routes include some dirt and rougher paved roads.
They are used on biking trips in Argentina, China and Thailand and on
multisport trips in Costa Rica, Dolomites, Ecuador & Galápagos,
Iceland, Peru and South Africa. Our alternate mountain bike with slick
tires and rigid fork is used on biking trips in India and Myanmar, and on
multisport trips in Panama.
Custom Kid’s Bike
Our custom kid’s bikes are a perfect choice for the younger set. While
the wheels might be smaller, the performance is big. On all Wandering
Travel tours, you’ll find 20″ and 24″ bicycles.

Tandem
Tandem bikes are suggested for riders with some tandem experience and
on trips with flatter terrain. Due to the tandem’s size, frequent racking is
not realistic, so there may be fewer opportunities to hop in the van.
Parents experienced in riding a tandem may choose the tandem to ride
with one of your kids.
E-Bike
eBikes lets you experience the thrill of exploring on two wheels while
providing a boost when you want it. Our eBikes have an intuitive
battery-operated “pedal assist system,” giving you power assistance
when you want it. Although you still need to pedal, the system provides
an additional boost of power to your pedal stroke. When you need to
push a bit more on the hills, you get more assistance. When riding on the
flats, the system can respond with less power, allowing you to ride your
bike and enjoy your day. It’s completely silent so you won’t miss out on
any of the sounds around you.

Contact Us
Now that you have a brief understanding of our tours it’s time to make a
call. Contact our team of Travel Planners by calling 480-888-8888.
Tips to Prepare
People get the most enjoyment out of their active adventure if they are
reasonably fit. We suggest running, hiking, swimming or other aerobic
activity for at least 20 minutes, three times a week, to help you get and
stay in shape. For biking tours, the best training is to get out and ride,
choose route with hills and flats. It is best to do several hours at a time
on consecutive days. The key is to just ride and want to do it again the
next day. Once you reserve a tour with us, we’ll send you specific
training tips for that specific tour.

BIS 221T Week 2 Practice Creating Professional Letters
BIS 221T Week 2 Practice Creating Professional Letters

Practice problems are designed to help you apply what you have learned.
It may be a good idea to complete the assignment on your own without
help to see where you might need the most practice. Make only those
changes that are specified in these directions. The Atlas Grader depends
on existing text to identify portions of the document for grading.
Writing a Business Letter
Working with a template can facilitate the creation of letters and forms.?
However, in many instances, the template does not exactly fit the need,
so that you will often have to make adjustments to the template as you
will see during this exercise. You will also notice that the fields in the
template are designed such that “field” characteristic disappears after it
is edited and the text becomes normal text.? In other words, the fields
are added to facilitate the initial entry of data, but then drop out of the
picture so as not to be a distraction for later editing. The date field, is left
as a field, however, so that it can be automatically updated.
1 5 Notice that there are two fields called [Type the sender
name] in the letter, one in the return address block at the top of the page
and one in the signature line at the bottom. The template is built so that
the one in the signature line captures the information that is typed in the
address block. For this task, type your name in [Type the sender name]
in the address block at the top of the page. Ensure that your name is
reflected in the same field in the signature line. If it is not, type your
name there also. (Note: The relationship between the two fields is
temporary and is removed on the first entry. Hence, if you have

experimented with the template, the connection between the two fields
may have been removed.)
2 10 Add the QuickStove letter head image to the page header.
3 10 Add the text “Always ready in an Emergency!” without
the quotes right aligned in the page footer. Close the header/footer edit
function.
4 12 Replace the sample text in the template with the letter
content that is saved in the LetterContent file you downloaded and saved
to your computer.
5 8 Use the ABC Spelling & Grammar option on the Review
ribbon to correct any misspellings. Also accept the correct spelling of
“QuickStove” for the entire document.
6 8 Enter the current date. The existing placeholder for [Pick
the date] could be used, however, it displays the date in the wrong
format so we will not use it.? In order to format the date correctly, delete
the [Pick the date] field completely. Leave the cursor in that same
location and insert the date using the Date and Time icon from the Insert
Ribbon.? Choose the format of MonthNamedd, yyyy.? This will insert a
new date field in the desired format that can then be updated
automatically. Use the dialog box to select the format, be sure that the
“Update Automatically” check box is checked. (Note: To delete a field,

you must press either the delete key or backspace key two times.? The
first time deletes the content, the second deletes the field itself.)
7 9 Indent the first line of each paragraph to .5 on the ruler by
placing the cursor in the paragraph, then moving the indent marker.
(Note: Be sure you use the correct marker. It is the Indent First Line
marker.)
8 10 Delete your name from the return address block at the top
of the page. Also delete the [Type the sender company name]
placeholder from the top of the letter.? Enter into the [Type the sender
company address] placeholder the address for QuickStove at the top of
the document: 1149 W Center St. ? Orem, UT 84057 on two lines.
Notice that this paragraph has extra lines after the paragraph.? Enter 2
more blank lines after the address, so that there is white space equal to
approximately 4 blank lines.
9 9 Select the date and address lines and add a left tab stop at
the 4.5 inch mark on the ruler. Then unselect these two lines and press
tab in front of each line to move the text to the new tab stop. (Note: Do
not use Indent, use Tabstop.)
10 9 In the recipient name, recipient address and salutation
placeholders, type the following:
Mark George

348 E Center St.
Aurora, IL 98989
Dear Mr. George,
11 10 Insert the letter closing by typing “Sincerely” without the
quotes in the closing placeholder. Edit the name, if necessary, to display
your name. Remove the extra placeholders for title and company. Select
the lines in the closing and create a Tab Stop at 4.5 for each line.
Unselect the lines and hit the tab key to position each line at the tab stop.
(Note. Do not use indent, use tab stop.) (Note #2: Depending on how
you completed task #1, your name in the closing of the letter may still
have a content control associated with it. To complete this task, you will

first need to remove the content control from your name. Simply right
click on your name, and select the menu option to “Remove the content
control.”)

On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to
coordinate with the overall look of your document. You can use these
galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other
document building blocks. When you create pictures, charts, or
diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look.
You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document
text by choosing a look for the selected text from the Quick Styles
gallery on the Write tab. You can also format text directly by using the
other controls on the Write tab. Most controls offer a choice of using the
look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly.
To change the overall look of your document, choose new Theme
elements on the Page Layout tab. To change the looks available in the
Quick Style gallery, use the Change Current Quick Style Set command.
Both the Themes gallery and the Quick Styles gallery provide reset
commands so that you can always restore the look of your document to
the original contained in your current template.

Executive Summary
QuickStove’s Emergency Cube Stove and Emergency Cook Kit are two
options for being prepared for an emergency. The company that wants
everyone to be prepared for any emergency. Having a plan before an
emergency gives people a better chance of survival. This report will
provide a short overview of the types of natural disaster emergencies
that can occur in the United States.

Earthquakes, flood, tornados, hurricanes and winter snow are just a few
of the types of disasters Americans can face. Knowing what to do
before, during and after is a critical part of being prepared.
This report is based on information from the www.ready.gov web site
and en.wikipedia.org.
Introduction
A disasteris defined as a serious disruption of the functioning of a
community or a society. The disaster can involve widespread human,
material, economic or environmental losses and impacts. The disaster
may exceed the ability of the affected community or society to cope
using its own resources.

Emergency preparedness is not only for people living in California, or
the Midwest or the Gulf Coast. Other communities may be impacted by
several types of hazards during a lifetime. Americans also travel more
than ever before to areas with different hazard risks than they have at
home.
Large natural disasters in the United States make the news and may
impact thousands of people. The table below show the large disasters in
the years 2010 – 2015.

Types of Natural Disasters
Earth Quake
Earthquakes also known as a quake, tremor or temblor result from the
sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves.
Earthquakes can be violent enough to destroy major buildings and kill
thousands of people. The severity of the shaking can range from barely
felt to violent enough to toss people around. In its most general sense,
the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event, whether

natural or caused by humans that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes
are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, but also by other
events such as volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear
tests. An earthquake’s point of initial rupture is called its focus or
hypocenter. The epicenter is the point at ground level directly above the
hypocenter.
At the Earth’s surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and
sometimes displacement of the ground. When the epicenter of a large
earthquake is located offshore, the seabed may be displaced sufficiently
to cause a tsunami. Earthquakes can also trigger landslides, and
occasionally volcanic activity.
Flood
A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land which is usually
dry.Flooding may occur as an overflow of water from water bodies, such
as a river or lake, in which the water overtops or breaks levees, resulting
in some of that water escaping its usual boundaries, or it may occur due
to an accumulation of rainwater on saturated ground.

Floods can occur in rivers when the flow rate exceeds the capacity of the
river channel, particularly at bends or meanders in the waterway. Floods
often cause damage to homes and businesses if they are in the natural
flood plains of rivers. While riverine flood damage can be eliminated by
moving away from rivers and other bodies of water, people have
traditionally lived and worked by rivers because the land is usually flat
and fertile and because rivers provide easy travel and access to
commerce and industry.
Some floods develop slowly, while others such as flash floods, can
develop in just a few minutes and without visible signs of rain.
Additionally, floods can be local, impacting a neighborhood or
community, or very large, affecting entire river basins.
Urban flooding is the inundation of land or property in a built
environment, particularly in more densely populated areas, caused by
rainfall overwhelming the capacity of drainage systems, such as storm
sewers. Although sometimes triggered by events such as flash flooding
or snowmelt, urban flooding is a condition, characterized by its
repetitive and systemic impacts on communities that can happen

regardless of whether or not affected communities are located within
designated floodplains or near any body of water.
Tornado
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that is in contact with
both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases,
the base of a cumulus cloud. Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes,
but they are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, whose
narrow end touches the earth and is often encircled by a cloud of debris
and dust.
Tornadoes have been observed on every continent except Antarctica.
However, the vast majority of tornadoes occur in the Tornado Alley
region of the United States, although they can occur nearly anywhere in
North America. They also occasionally occur in south-central and
eastern Asia, northern and east-central South America, Southern Africa,
northwestern and southeast Europe, western and southeastern Australia,
and New Zealand.

Hurricane
Tropical cyclones or Hurricanes are areas of relatively low pressure in
the troposphere, with the largest pressure perturbations occurring at low
altitudes near the surface. On Earth, the pressures recorded at the center
of tropical cyclones are among the lowest ever observed at sea level.
Hurricanes typically form over large bodies of relatively warm water.
They derive their energy through the evaporation of water from the
ocean surface, which ultimately re-condenses into clouds and rain when
moist air rises and cools to saturation. The strong rotating winds of a
hurricane are a result of the conservation of angular momentum
imparted by the Earth’s rotation as air flows inwards toward the axis of
rotation.
In addition to strong winds and rain, hurricanes are capable of
generating high waves, damaging storm surge, and tornadoes. They
typically weaken rapidly over land where they are cut off from their
primary energy source.

Snow
Snow is precipitation in the form of flakes of crystalline water ice that
falls from clouds. Snow is composed of small ice particles making it a
granular material. Snow has an open and therefore soft, white, and fluffy
structure, unless subjected to external pressure. Snowflakes come in a
variety of sizes and shapes. Types that fall in the form of a ball due to
melting and refreezing, rather than a flake, are hail, ice pellets or snow
grains.
Storms passing over warm water bodies can produce lake-effect
snowfall downwind of the lake. Lake-effect snowfall can be heavy
locally. Snowfall amount and its related liquid equivalent precipitation
amount are measured using a variety of different rain gauges.
Prepare for Natural Disasters

Being prepared for a natural disaster can save lives and property.
Depending on your circumstances and the nature of the emergency, the
first important decision is whether you stay where you are or evacuate.
You should understand and plan for both possibilities.
Local authorities may or may not immediately be able to provide
information on what is happening. If possible you should watch TV,
listen to the radio or check the Internet often for information or official
instructions as they become available.
Earth Quake
To prepare for an earthquake follow these guidelines:
Look around places where you spend time. Identify safe places such as
under a sturdy piece of furniture or against an interior wall in your
home, office or school so that when the shaking starts, you drop to the

ground, cover your head and neck with your arms, and if a safer place is
nearby, crawl to it and hold on.
To react quickly you must practice often how to “Drop, Cover, and Hold
On!”. You may only have seconds to protect yourself in an earthquake.
Before an earthquake occurs, secure items that could fall and cause
injuries (e.g., bookshelves, mirrors, light fixtures).
Store critical supplies (e.g., water, medication) and documents.
Plan how you will communicate with family members, including
multiple methods by making a family emergency communication plan.
When choosing your home or business, check if the building is
earthquake resistant per local building codes.
Flood
To prepare for a flood, you should:

Build an emergency kit and make a family communications plan.
Avoid building in a floodplain unless you elevate and reinforce your
home.
Elevate the furnace, water heater and electric panel in your home if you
live in an area that has a high flood risk.
Consider installing “check valves” to prevent flood water from backing
up into the drains of your home.
If feasible, construct barriers to stop floodwater from entering the
building and seal walls in basements with waterproofing compounds.
Tornado
To begin preparing, you should:

Listen to NOAA Weather Radio or to commercial radio or television
newscasts for the latest information. In any emergency, always listen to
the instructions given by local emergency management officials.
Be alert to changing weather conditions. Look for approaching storms.
Look for the following danger signs:
Dark, often greenish sky
Large hail
A large, dark, low-lying cloud (particularly if rotating)
Loud roar, similar to a freight train.
If you see approaching storms or any of the danger signs, be prepared to
take shelter immediately.
Hurricane

To prepare for a hurricane, you should take the following measures:
Know your surroundings.
Learn the elevation level of your property and whether the land is flood-
prone. This will help you know how your property will be affected when
storm surge or tidal flooding are forecasted.
Identify levees and dams in your area and determine whether they pose a
hazard to you.
Learn community hurricane evacuation routes and how to find higher
ground. Determine where you would go and how you would get there if
you needed to evacuate.
Make plans to secure your property:
Cover all of your home’s windows. Permanent storm shutters offer the
best protection for windows. A second option is to board up windows

with 5/8” exterior grade or marine plywood, cut to fit and ready to
install. Another year-round option would be installation of laminated
glass with impact-resistant glazing. Tape does not prevent windows
from breaking.
Install straps or additional clips to securely fasten your roof to the frame
structure. This will reduce roof damage.
Be sure trees and shrubs around your home are well trimmed so they are
more wind resistant.
Clear loose and clogged rain gutters and downspouts.
Reinforce your garage doors; if wind enters a garage it can cause
dangerous and expensive structural damage.
Plan to bring in all outdoor furniture, decorations, garbage cans and
anything else that is not tied down.
Determine how and where to secure your boat.
Install a generator for emergencies.

If in a high-rise building, when high winds are present, be prepared to
take shelter on a lower floor because wind conditions increase with
height, and in a small interior room without windows. When flooding
may be occurring, be prepared to take shelter on a floor safely above the
flooding and wave effects.
Consider building a safe room.
Snow
To prepare for a winter snow storm you should do the following:
Before winter approaches, add the following supplies to your emergency
kit:
Rock salt or more environmentally safe products to melt ice on
walkways. Visit the Environmental Protection Agency for a complete
list of recommended products.
Sand to improve traction.

Snow shovels and other snow removal equipment.
Sufficient heating fuel. You may become isolated in your home and
regular fuel sources may be cut off. Store a good supply of dry, seasoned
wood for your fireplace or wood-burning stove.
Adequate clothing and blankets to keep you warm.
Make a Family Communications Plan. Your family may not be together
when disaster strikes, so it is important to know how you will contact
one another, how you will get back together and what you will do in
case of an emergency.
A NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts alerts and warnings directly from
the NWS for all hazards. You may also sign up in advance to receive
notifications from your local emergency services.
Download FEMA’s Be Smart. Know Your Alerts and Warnings for a
summary of notifications at: www.ready.gov/prepare. Free smart phone
apps, such as those available from FEMA and the American Red Cross,
provide information about finding shelters, providing first aid, and
seeking assistance for recovery.
Minimize travel. If travel is necessary, keep a disaster supplies kit in
your vehicle.

Bring pets/companion animals inside during winter weather. Move other
animals or livestock to sheltered areas with non-frozen drinking water.
Conclusion
This report is a quick guide to the types of natural disasters that can
occur in the United Statesand how to prepare for them. Being prepared
for the disaster is important to save lives and property. Quickstove’s
Emergency Cube Stove can be a valuable part of any emergency
preparedness kit. When making your emergency plan consider how you
may have to live for a period of time after the emergency passes. Being
able to heat food and water are essential to getting life back to normal.

You have decided to purchase a new car. You plan to take out a loan to
pay for the car. The loan amount is $18,900. You will pay 6.5% interest
and will pay off the car in 48 months. You are interested in calculating
the total amount of money and the total amount of interest you will pay
over the course of the loan. To help you with these calculations, you
decide to construct an amortization table. An amortization table provides
details about the payment, interest amount, principle amount, and loan
balance for every month of the loan. Complete the tasks to complete the
amortization table and the summary calculations below.
Calculate the payment amount for the loan in cell C15. Reference the
cells containing the appropriate loan information as the arguments for
the function that you use. (Notice that “Payment” on the table fills with
the payment amount in cell C15.)
Amortization!C15: =PMT(C13/C12,C12,C11,0,)
6 / 9 (66.7%)

Feedback:
[-3] The value in cell C15 is not correct
Calculate the interest amount for period 1 in cell D20 by multiplying
balance in period 0 (cell F19) by the loan interest rate (cell C13) divided
by 12 (to create a montly interest rate). This formula is reusable. The
interest for a given period is always the monthly interest rate times the
balance from the previous period.
Amortization!D20: =F19*C13/12
6 / 6 (100.0%)

Copy the interest amount calculation down to complete the “Interest”
column of the amortization table.
0 / 3 (0.0%)
Feedback:
[-3] The interest values in column D are not correct
Calculate the principle amount for period 1 in cell E20. The principle
amount is the difference between the payment amount (cell C20) and the
interest amount (cell D20) for period 1. Construct your formula in such a
way that it can be reused to complete the interest column of the
amortization table.
Amortization!E20: =C20-D20

6 / 6 (100.0%)
Copy the principle amount calculation down to complete the “Principle”
3 / 3 (100.0%)
Calculate the balance for period 1 in cell F20. The balance is the
difference between the balance for period 0 (cell F19) and the principle
amount for period 1 (cell E20). This formula is reusable. The balance is
always calculated as the difference between the balance from the
previous period and the principle amount for the current period.
Amortization!F20: =F19-E20

6 / 6 (100.0%)
Copy the balance amount calculation down to complete the “Balance”
3 / 3 (100.0%)
Calculate the “Total Amount Paid” in cell G12 by multiplying the
payment amount (cell C15) by the term of the loan (cell C12).
Amortization!G12: =C15*C12
6 / 6 (100.0%)

Calculate the total interest paid in cell G13. The total interest paid is the
sum of all interest paid on the amortization table.
Amortization!G13: =SUM(D20:D67)
9 / 9 (100.0%)
You can check to see if the total interest calculation from the
amortization table is correct. The total interest paid is also equal to the
difference between the Total Amount Paid” over the course of the loan
and the original loan amount. Insert a formula into cell G14 to check the
result of the SUM calculation you just made in cell G13. This formula
should calculate the difference between the total amount paid and the
original loan amount (notice the negative sign associated with the
original loan amount).

There are 30 Major League Baselball (MLB) teams. The table below
lists the 2010 and 1990 payroll and win totals for each team (notice that
four teams were added after the 1990 season). Some MLB fans complain
because the league does little to regulate the amount of money teams can
pay for salaries. They argue that the teams that spend the most money
will win the most games. This would put teams from small markets (that
earn less revenue) at a disadvantage. Complete the 17 tasks listed to the
right. Insert your formulas (or responses) in column I for each task. Are

Quickstove would like to produce a presentation advertising their
products. Your assignment is to build the presentation according to the
following specifications.
1 10 Add the “Largefireboxlogo” to the Title Layout of the
Slide Master so that it appears on both slide 1 and 8. Position the image
so that it is below the subheading but still inside the white rectangle on
each slide.

2 10 Edit the Title and Content Layout slide master to display
the level 1 and level 2 bullets as “Filled Square Bullets” instead of the
default circle.
3 10 Add the “Fireboxlogo” on top of the footer of the Title
and Content slide master. When you are done close the Master View.
4 10 You want the eight fuel types to transition onto slide 3
one at a time but without having to click each individually. To do this,
select the eight fuel types and click “Fly In” from the Animations
ribbon. Open the Animation Pane and select the eight items in the pane.
Click the drop down arrow to the right of Charcoal Briquettes and select
“Start After Previous”.
5 10 Add the “Swivel” entrance animation to the image on
slide 4, entitled “Gen2.5 Folding Firebox (continued)”
6 10 Add a “Bold Reveal” animation to start after the previous
animation with a 2 second delay to each bullet on slide 5, entitled
“Engineered and Made in the USA”
7 10 Apply the “Bounce” entrance animation effect to the
statement on slide 7. Set the animation to start as soon as the slide Title
displays.
8 10 For slide 2 (entitled “New Gen2.5 Folding Firebox Nano
Ultralight Stove”) we want it to be a building slide with the images and
their names appearing with mouse clicks. On the first mouse click make
the image on the left (the G2 Folding Firebox) appear. Its name should
appear concurrently. On the second mouse click display the “Now” text.
On the third mouse click make the image on the right (the G2.5 Folding
Firebox) appear. Its name should appear concurrently. Use the “Appear”
animation effect on all the objects.

9 10 On slide 6 add a “Custom Path” with a random path on
the “We’ll Make It Right” object. To do this, select the object; select the
“Custom Path” animation and then pick a starting position on the slide.
Drag your mouse around the slide until you have a path that takes you
back to the original object’s position. To end the path, press the “Esc”
key.
10 10 Without a delay the custom path animation runs too
quickly. To slow down the animation set the duration to 12 seconds.
11 0 Run the Slide show to check all the changes to the master
and make sure the animations display correctly. When your slide show
works correctly save the presentation. Navigate to the “Assignment”
menu and click on the submit button to see how you did.

1 6 Use the find and replace option to change every
occurrence of Quick Stove with the correct spelling QuickStove.
2 5 Put the “Up Right Stove” and “Upside Down Stove”
slides in the same order the positions appear in other advertising with
“Upright Stove” before the “Upside down Stove”. To do this, select slide
5 (“Upright Stove”) thumbnail and drag and drop it before slide 4
(“Upside down Stove”).
3 15 Insert a Comparison slide as slide 3 in the presentation
that compare the “QUICKSTOVE CUBE STOVE” to the “ECOFUEL
FOLD FLAT CAMP STOVE”. Do a side-by-side comparison using the
information below to enter the content of the slide. Main Title of the
slide should be: “Compare with our Competition” The subtitle the left
column should be “QUICKSTOVE CUBE STOVE” and the subtitle for

the right column should be “ECOFUEL FOLD FLAT CAMP STOVE”
There are three items in each column that are compared.
QUICKSTOVE CUBE STOVE ECOFUEL FOLD FLAT CAMP
STOVE
Weight – less than 1 pound Weight – 1.5 pounds
Uses multiple fuels – Fuel disk, wood, Sterno, charcoal, tablets
Requires OrganicaBioFire Safety Fuel – sold separately
Cost – with 2 fuel disks $24.99 Cost – Stove only $40.00
4 6 On the slide entitled “Cube Stove Features” (slide 4 after
inserting a new slide), use the Change Case option to make the first
letter of each line start with a capital letter. (Sentence case for all lines
on the slide.)
5 8 The cooking types (last four lines, which describe types
of cooking) on this slide (“Cube Stove Features”) will be more dramatic
if they were displayed with a bullet and indented. To do this, select the
four cooking types, select the bullet drop down and select “Filled Square
Bullets”. With the statements still highlighted click “Increase List
Level” once from the Paragraphs section of the Home ribbon to indent
the statements one stop. When you increase the indent level, PowerPoint
automatically decreases the font size. In this instance, return the font
size to its previous value of 20 points for all four line items.
6 8 After reviewing slides 7 (“Closed Stove”) and 8
(“Remove Plate”) you decide they will be better as one slide. To do this,
first create a new slide. Then add all the information from slide 7 and
slide 8 as line items in the content placeholder of the new slide. This

should give you five lines items on the new slide. Then delete the old
slides 7 and 8.
7 5 Add the title “Other Positions” to the new slide that you
just created without the quotes in the title placeholder.
8 5 Edit the first statement so that there is a dash and the text
“For Grilling” is displayed after the “Closed Stove” text, so that it reads
“Closed Stove – For Grilling” all as a single line item.
9 18 Use the Format Painter option to add the filled square
bullets again on slides 5, 6 and 7 to identify the types of fuel
recommended for each cooking position. Use the format that you set for
task 5 on the slide entitled “Cube Stove Features”. (Format Painter
should bring over the bullets, the indentation, and the font size of 20.
Double check to make sure all three features are set correctly.) In other
words, bulleted and indented attributes should be painted to the
following lines. Because your mouse is showing the paintbrush, it is
better to use the page down or arrow keys to move from slide to slide.
On Slide 5 (“Upright Stove”): Wood, Sterno, Gel, Tablet
On Slide 6 (“Upside Down Stove”): Wood, Sterno, Gel, Tablet

On Slide 7 (“Other Positions”): Wood, Charcoal
10 4 Increase the font size of the title on slide 1 from 80pt to
96pt.
11 8 Apply the “Fade” Transition to slides 2 through 7.
12 8 Use the up arrow on the duration option to change it to
02:00 to slow down the transition. Then click Apply to All. (Note: You
should quickly go through all the slides to make sure that the Apply to
All worked correctly. You can review the timings and transitions both
by previewing the presentation, and by changing the view to Slide Sorter
and opening the Transitions Ribbon. In Slide Sorter view, click on each
slide to view its transition. If any is wrong, you can fix it. )
13 4 Apply the “Random Bars” Transition to slide 1 (the title
slide). Change the transition duration to 2.0 to be consistent with the rest
of the presenation transitions.

Assignment Steps
Refer to the assignment rubric for an overview of the required content
and grading expectations for this assignment, and read the instructions
below thoroughly prior to working on this assignment.
Create a professional email account (e.g. via Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo), or
use your University of Phoenix email account. Avoid using nicknames

or extraneous alphanumeric characters, and set your email display name
to use your full name (first & last).
Open a web browser and navigate to https://www.linkedin.com.
Create a LinkedIn account and add your location, job title, company, and
industry information as requested (note: you may list “student” as your
job title and add the University as your location if you prefer). You will
also need to verify your email as part of the account creation process.
Add contacts, people you may know, photos, and interests as desired
(note: although these steps are included in the account setup process,
you may skip these items and add them at a later time if desired).
Select the “Build your network” and “Stay in the know” to add
professional contacts and follow business industry experts respectively.
Add two or more contacts and follow at least four experts.
Edit your profile by selecting the “Me” link in the header bar and then
selecting “View Profile” from the drop-down list.

Select the “See contact info” link to edit your Contact Info. Select the
pencil icon to edit your email or update your LinkedIn URL to
something more personalized and professional (e.g. your name).
Select the “Add profile section” link to add background, skills,
accomplishments, and additional information to your profile. This is
where you’ll add employment, education, awards, and other relevant
professional experience to your profile which will serve as your online
resume, so it’s worth spending some extra time in these areas. Add at
least one item to each category (wherever applicable).
Select the “Home” link on the header bar, and then select the “Post”
button to share at least one article, photo, video, or idea with the contacts
in your network.
Optional: Link your LinkedIn profile to another social media account
(e.g. Twitter®, Facebook®, Lynda.com®, Outlook®, Instagram®).
