Editor's Notes

  • #3 Pg 55Briefly introduce the topics that will be covered in this lesson so students are aware of the new skills they will learn. Remind students also that all the information is available in the book as a reference so they don’t need to commit anything to memory or take notes.
  • #4 Pg 61Objective 2.1Again, ensure students understand the difference between formatting characters and paragraphs. Formatting is a process that can be applied, causing different effects based on the formatting used or the selected text.As with character formatting, take a few seconds to discuss the features for paragraph formatting, and introduce them here as you will speak to them later in this course. You may want to reiterate how once text is typed, the text must be selected before you can apply any formatting. A hint for them is when they want to change the paragraph formatting, they need only to ensure the cursor is somewhere in that paragraph for the formatting to be applied. For multiple paragraphs, they still need to select some part of each paragraph.
  • #5 Pg 61-62Objective 2.1This image is provided in the gallery as well in the Extra IR Files folder for you to use, as needed. It is meant as a quick view of how the four different alignment options affect text. Be prepared to provide examples of when you might use each one, especially for the Align Right option (e.g., technical documents, date and case # on legal documents, etc.).
  • #8 Pg 61-62Objective 2.1For those students who are new to word processing concepts, you may need to spend a bit more time giving examples of what alignment is and when you might need to change the default. For instance, relate to business documents and how most companies use a left alignment as this makes reading long pieces of text easier (your eyes don’t get as tired from reading). Other companies and publications may use justified text to provide a nice even edge at the left and right side but this can lead to rivers of space, as well as the reader getting more tired from reading from edge to edge.Centering text is one feature that most students want to know how to do, and in some cases, students may have done this previously by using tabs or spaces. This is an example of how typing the text first can be handy especially with paragraph formatting – you need only to position the cursor somewhere in that paragraph to apply the alignment option. With character formatting, you would need to select the characters first.Be sure to show them the pros and cons of applying paragraph formatting as you type, versus selecting and applying with existing text.
  • #10 Pg 62Objective 2.1Ensure you are familiar with the default line spacing that Word sets up for each new document. This setting makes reading the text easier but can cause some confusion for those who are used to single line spacing, and who may want to know how to change the default for all documents. For those who do, encourage them to take the Expert level or show them outside of regular class time used for features covered in this level. The process is not difficult but will require a bit of time as well as a handout that they can take away with them to do in their own environment (included with the Extra IR Files folder in instructor area of our microsite).Be prepared to provide examples of when you might use the different types of line spacing.
  • #11 Pg 62Objective 2.1Ensure you are familiar with the default line spacing that Word sets up for each new document. This setting makes reading the text easier but can cause some confusion for those who are used to single line spacing, and who may want to know how to change the default for all documents.

  • #13 Pg 63Objective 2.4Ensure you are aware of the default paragraph spacing for new Word documents (set up as part of the Normal style) and how it affects text if you change the paragraph spacing only (may not affect the text if you leave the spacing at 1.15).Point out the different ways to change the paragraph spacing, giving examples of when you may want or need to have the spacing to be different than the default, e.g., newsletters, using styles with large documents, need the spacing between certain paragraphs to be a bit smaller to fit a line of text on that page, etc.
  • #16 Pg 65Objective 2.3Discuss the different reasons when or why you might set indents on a document, e.g., legal documents that use first line indents for each paragraph, quotes, list items, etc.
  • #18 Pg 65Objective 2.3Demonstrate how to change the indents using all the methods so students get a chance to decide which works for them. There is no firm method they should use; they will likely do a combination as there may be times when they don’t need specific indent measurements so using the Increase or Decrease Indent option is the faster option. Another example is when they need a precise indent measurement and want to enter it in the Paragraph dialog box instead of trying to find the measurement using Alt while dragging.
  • #19 Pg 64-65Objective 2.3This image is provided in the gallery as well in the Extra IR Files folder for you to use, as required. Use this as an example of how you can use indents to offset parts of text or as an alignment option.If you’ve used CCI Word courseware previously, you will recognize this topic has moved from being with tabs to being included now with formatting paragraphs. This appears to be a better fit for aligning text as well as setting an introduction to how to use indents for automatic lists (covered in the next lesson).
  • #20 Pg 66Objective 2.3Thefirst method here may be the faster way to set paragraph spacing and indents at the same time instead of using the Paragraph dialog box. This is another example of how you can discuss which methods work best for each person, or a combination of methods.
  • #30 Pg 70Briefly review the topics that were covered in this lesson so students are aware of the new skills they learned. Remind students also that all the information is available in the book as a reference.
  • #31 Pg 70As time permits, go through the questions with students, or choose to assign these for groups or homework review.
