Setting Line Spacing in Business Memos
At the top of a document after you open it move the cursor to the top left corner and open the Paragraph dialogue box to set the spacing info and tab setting as shown below before you move forward with any other part of the memo. Then, click on the “Set a Default” button. Sometimes it stays, other times it does not. If you find you need to readjust to the setting below, put the cursor anywhere in the document, highlight the whole document (I use Ctrl + A), right click on the highlighted area/document, and click on Paragraph. The box below will open up, and set info as shown below. Also works for specific document areas.
At the top of a memo, where you double space the Date, To, From, and Subject, hit the Enter key twice to achieve the double spacing. Applies to other places in the memo where you need to double space between sections.
Correct spacing.
See directions below to change the tab setting to 0.15 from the standard setting.
Setting Tab Spacing to 0.15
For tab setting, set to 0.15, and don’t use 0.5, in the “Default tab stops:” area in the upper right corner. Hit OK. Provides more finite spacing with lists, outlines, etc.
Change to this number from standard size.
Initial Formatting Memo Information
When setting up a memo, you start with single line spacing and zero, as shown above. For the Date, To, From, and Subject, you hit the Enter key twice to produce the double space required in business memo writing. You tab over to generate the straight line effect when adding information after the colon, as shown below.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Course contents
• Overview: Charts make data visual
• Lesson 1: Create a basic chart
• Lesson 2: Customize your chart
Each lesson includes a list of suggested tasks and a set of
test questions.
3. Create a chart
Overview: Charts make data visual
A chart gets your point across—fast.
With a chart, you can transform
worksheet data to show comparisons,
patterns, and trends.
So instead of having to analyze
columns of worksheet numbers, you
can see at a glance what the data
means.
This course presents the basics of
creating charts in Excel 2007.
4. Create a chart
Course goals
• Learn how to create a chart using the new Excel 2007
commands.
• Find out how to make changes to a chart after you create
it.
• Develop an understanding of basic chart terminology.
6. Create a chart
Create a basic chart
Here’s a basic chart in
Excel, which you can
put together in about
10 seconds.
After you create a chart, you can easily add new
elements to it such as chart titles or a new layout.
In this lesson you’ll find out how to create a basic chart
and learn how the text and numbers from a worksheet
become the contents of a chart. You’ll also learn a few
other chart odds and ends.
7. Create a chart
Create your chart
Here’s a worksheet
that shows how many
cases of Northwind
Traders Tea were sold
by each of three
salespeople in three
months.
You want to create a chart that shows how each
salesperson compares against the others, month by
month, for the first quarter of the year.
8. Create a chart
Create your chart
The picture shows the
steps for creating the
chart.
Select the data that you want to chart, including the
column titles (January, February, March) and the row
labels (the salesperson names).
Click the Insert tab, and in the Charts group, click the
Column button.
9. Create a chart
Create your chart
The picture shows the
steps for creating the
chart.
You’ll see a number of column chart types to choose
from. Click Clustered Column, the first column chart in
the 2-D Column list.
That’s it. You’ve created a chart in about 10 seconds.
10. Create a chart
Create your chart
If you want to change
the chart type after
creating your chart,
click inside the chart.
On the Design tab under Chart Tools, in the Type
group, click Change Chart Type. Then select the chart
type you want.
11. Create a chart
How worksheet data appears in the chart
Here’s how your new
column chart looks.
It shows you at once that Cencini (represented by the
middle column for each month) sold the most tea in
January and February but was outdone by Giussani in
March.
12. Create a chart
How worksheet data appears in the chart
Data for each
salesperson appears
in three separate
columns, one for each
month.
The height of each chart is proportional to the value in the
cell that it represents.
So the chart immediately shows you how the salespeople
stack up against each other, month by month.
13. Create a chart
How worksheet data appears in the chart
Each row of
salesperson data has
a different color in the
chart.
The chart legend, created from the row titles in the
worksheet (the salesperson names), tells which color
represents the data for each salesperson.
Giussani data, for example, is the darkest blue, and is
the left-most column for each month.
14. Create a chart
How worksheet data appears in the chart
The column titles from
the worksheet—
January, February,
and March—are now
at the bottom of the
chart.
On the left side of the chart, Excel has created a scale of
numbers to help you to interpret the column heights.
15. Create a chart
Chart Tools: Now you see them, now you don’t
Before you do more
work with your chart,
you need to know
about the Chart
Tools.
After your chart is inserted on the worksheet, the Chart
Tools appear on the Ribbon with three tabs: Design,
Layout, and Format.
On these tabs, you’ll find the commands you need to
work with charts.
16. Create a chart
Chart Tools: Now you see them, now you don’t
When you complete
the chart, click outside
it. The Chart Tools go
away.
So don’t worry if you don’t see all the commands you
need at all times.
Take the first steps either by inserting a chart (using the
Charts group on the Insert tab), or by clicking inside an
existing chart. The commands you need will be at hand.
To get them back,
click inside the chart.
Then the tabs
reappear.
17. Create a chart
Change the chart view
You can do more with
your data than create
one chart.
You can make your chart compare data another way by
clicking a button to switch from one chart view to
another.
The picture shows two different views of the same
worksheet data.
18. Create a chart
Change the chart view
The chart on the left is
the chart you first
created, which
compares salespeople
to each other.
Excel grouped data by worksheet columns and
compared worksheet rows to show how each
salesperson compares against the others.
19. Create a chart
Change the chart view
But another way to
look at the data is to
compare sales for
each salesperson,
month over month.
To create this view of the chart, click Switch Row/Column
in the Data group on the Design tab.
In the chart on the right, data is grouped by rows and
compares worksheet columns. So now your chart says
something different: It shows how each salesperson did,
month by month, compared against themselves.
20. Create a chart
Add chart titles
It’s a good idea to add
descriptive titles to
your chart, so that
readers don’t have to
guess what the chart
is about.
You can give a title to the chart itself, as well as to the
chart axes, which measure and describe the chart data.
This chart has two axes. On the left side is the vertical
axis, which is the scale of numbers by which you can
interpret the column heights. The months of the year at
the bottom are on the horizontal axis.
21. Create a chart
Add chart titles
A quick way to add
chart titles is to click
the chart to select it,
and then go to the
Charts Layout group
on the Design tab.
Click the More button to see all the layouts. Each
option shows different layouts that change the way chart
elements are laid out.
22. Create a chart
Add chart titles
The picture shows
Layout 9, which adds
placeholders for a
chart title and axes
titles.
The title for this chart is Northwind Traders Tea, the
name of the product.
The title for the vertical axis on the left is Cases Sold.
The title for the horizontal axis at the bottom is First
Quarter Sales.
You type the titles
directly in the chart.
23. Create a chart
Suggestions for practice
1. Create a chart.
2. Look at chart data in different ways.
3. Update chart data.
4. Add titles.
5. Change chart layouts.
6. Change the chart type.

Chart Type, and then select another chart type.
31. Create a chart
Customize your chart
After you create your
chart, you can
customize it to give it
a more professional
design.
For example, you can give your chart a whole different
set of colors by selecting a new chart style.
You can also format chart titles to change them from
plain to fancy. And there are many different formatting
options you can apply to individual columns to make
them stand out.
32. Create a chart
Change the look of your chart
When you first create
your chart, it’s in a
standard color.
By using a chart
style, you can apply
different colors to a
chart in just seconds.
First, click in the chart. Then on the Design tab, in the Chart
Styles group, click the More button to see all the choices.
Then click the style you want.
33. Create a chart
Change the look of your chart
When you first create
your chart, it’s in a
standard color.
By using a chart
style, you can apply
different colors to a
chart in just seconds.
Some of the styles change just the color of the columns.
Others change the color and add an outline around the
columns, while other styles add color to the plot area
(the area bounded by the chart axes). And some styles
add color to the chart area (the entire chart).
34. Create a chart
Change the look of your chart
If you don’t see what
you want in the Chart
Styles group, you can
get other color choices
by selecting a different
theme.
Click the Page Layout tab, and then click Colors in the
Themes group.
When you rest the pointer over a color scheme, the
colors are shown in a temporary preview on the chart.
Click the one you like to apply it to the chart.
35. Create a chart
Change the look of your chart
Important
For example, a table or a cell style such as a heading
will take on the colors of the theme applied to the chart.
Unlike a chart style,
the colors from a
theme will be applied
to other elements you
might add to the
worksheet.
36. Create a chart
Format titles
If you’d like to make
the chart or axis titles
stand out more, that’s
also easy to do.
On the Format tab, in the WordArt Styles group, there
are many ways to work with the titles.
The picture shows that one of the options in the group, a
text fill, has been added to change the color.
37. Create a chart
Format titles
To use a text fill, first
click in a title area to
select it.
Then click the arrow on Text Fill in the WordArt
Styles group. Rest the pointer over any of the colors to
see the changes in the title. When you see a color you
like, select it.
Text Fill also includes options to apply a gradient or a
texture to a title.
38. Create a chart
Format titles
To make font
changes, such as
making the font larger
or smaller—or to
change the font face—
click Home, and then
go to the Font group.
Or you can make the same formatting changes by using
the Mini toolbar.
The toolbar appears in a faded fashion after you select
the title text. Point at the toolbar and it becomes solid,
and then you can select a formatting option.
39. Create a chart
Format individual columns
There is still more that
you can do with the
format of the columns
in your chart.
In the picture, a shadow effect has been added to each
of the columns (an offset diagonal shadow is behind
each column).
40. Create a chart
Format individual columns
Here’s how to add a
shadow effect to
columns.
1. Click one of Giussani’s columns. That will select all
three columns for Giussani (known as a series).
2. On the Format tab, in the Shape Styles group, click
the arrow on Shape Effects.
41. Create a chart
Format individual columns
Here’s how to add a
shadow effect to
columns.
3. Point to Shadow, and then rest the pointer on the
different shadow styles in the list.
4. You can see a preview of the shadows as you rest
the pointer on each style. When you see one you like,
select it.
42. Create a chart
Format individual columns
The Shape Styles
group offers plenty of
other great formatting
options to choose
from.
For example, Shape Effects offers more than just
shadows. You can add bevel effects and soft edges to
columns, or even make columns glow.
You can also click Shape Fill to add a gradient or a texture
to the columns, or click Shape Outline to add an outline
around the columns.
43. Create a chart

Editor's Notes
[Note to trainer: For detailed help in customizing this template, see the very last slide. Also, look for additional lesson text in the notes pane of some slides.]
In step 2, you could select another chart type besides a column chart. Column charts, however, are commonly used to compare items. So the column chart is a good choice for getting across the information you want.
Tip: When you rest the pointer over any chart type, a ScreenTip displays the chart type name. The ScreenTip also provides a description of the chart type and gives you information about when to use each one.
Tip: Any changes that you make to the worksheet data after the chart is created will be instantly shown in the chart.
Tips:
You can switch the chart back to the original view by clicking Switch Row/Column again.
To keep both views of the data, select the second view of the chart, copy it, and then paste it on the worksheet. Then switch back to the original view of the chart by clicking in the original chart and clicking Switch Row/Column.
The vertical axis is also known as the value or y axis. The horizontal axis is also known as the category or x axis.
Tip: Another way to enter titles is on the Layout tab, in the Labels group. There you can add titles by clicking Chart Titles and Axis Titles.
[Note to trainer: With Excel 2007 installed on your computer, you can click the link in the slide to go to an online practice. In the practice, you can work through each of these tasks in Excel, with instructions to guide you. Important: If you don’t have Excel 2007, you won’t be able to access the practice instructions.]
At the end of this lesson, you’ll also learn how to add your chart to a Microsoft Office PowerPoint® 2007 slide show so that you can present it to one and all.
The temporary preview is one difference between using a theme and using a chart style. Seeing how the colors look on the chart before you apply the theme saves you the step of undoing it if you don’t like it.
Other options in the WordArt Styles group are Text Outline and Text Effects, which include Shadow, Reflection, and Glow effects.
After formatting Giussani’s columns, you can do the others’. Click one of Cencini’s columns to select all three of those columns and follow the same steps. Then do the same for Kotas. All this takes only a moment or two to do.
Tip: You can also apply effects to other areas of the chart, such as the plot area (the area bounded by the axes).
During step 4, you’ll see that Chart (linked to Excel data) is selected. That ensures that any changes to the chart in Excel will automatically be made to the chart in PowerPoint. This means that you don’t have to worry if chart data changes after you add the chart to PowerPoint.
[Note to trainer: With Excel 2007 installed on your computer, you can click the link in the slide to go to an online practice. In the practice, you can work through each of these tasks in Excel, with instructions to guide you. Important: If you don’t have Excel 2007, you won’t be able to access the practice instructions.]
