Format existing documents.

Formatting documents (e.g., letters, memoranda, reports, outlines, flyers, newsletters, and tables) should include

  • setting tabs, using the ruler and/or the appropriate dialogue box
  • setting margins and spacing, using the appropriate feature
  • selecting font, font size, font style, and text color
  • inserting headers and/or footers (may include page numbers)
  • creating and manipulating columns, including centering columns on a page
  • creating and manipulating tables
  • formatting
    • personal letters and/or business letters, using styles such as block, modified block, and modified block with indented paragraphs
    • formal and simplified-style memoranda
    • basic business-style and Modern Language Association (MLA)-style reports
    • various types of outlines.

Enhancement may be achieved by creating a word-processed document and inserting clip art, digital photos, or scanned images.
