Louisville Word Fest

COMPLETING A FLYER

GETTING STARTED
 Open the file NP_WD16_1b_FirstLastName_1.docx, available for download
from the SAM website.

 Save the file as NP_WD16_1b_FirstLastName_2.docx by changing the “1”

to a “2”.

o If you do not see the .docx file extension in the Save As dialog box, do
not type it. The program will add the file extension for you automatically.

 With the file NP_WD16_1b_FirstLastName_2.docx still open, ensure that

your first and last name is displayed in the footer.

o If the footer does not display your name, delete the file and download a
new copy from the SAM website.

PROJECT STEPS
1. You are helping to publicize a spoken word festival by creating a flyer for the
sponsoring organization. To fit all of the text and pictures on one page, change
the top margin of the document to 0.75" and the bottom margin to 0.5".

2. Apply the Fill – Gold, Accent 3, Sharp Bevel text effect to the heading
“Louisville Word Fest” to make the title of the flyer stand out.

3. Format the paragraph beginning “The Louisville Word Fest is…” as follows:

a. Remove the space after the paragraph.

b. Change the line spacing to 1.0.

4. In the same paragraph, delete the sentence “This year’s Word Fest runs from
Friday, April 12 to Sunday, April 14.” because it repeats information provided
later in the flyer.

5. Apply the Center Shadow Rectangle picture style to the photo of the
Louisville skyline to integrate it into the flyer.

6. Format the paragraph “Friday, April 12  12:00 pm–9:00 pm” as follows:

a. Change the alignment to Align Left.

b. Change the font to Century Schoolbook (Headings).

c. Change the font size to 12 pt.

d. Apply the Purple, Accent 5 font color (9th column, 1st row of the Theme
Colors palette).

7. Use the Format Painter to apply the same formatting to the paragraphs
“Saturday, April 13  10:00 am–7:00 pm” and “Sunday, April 14  10:00 am–
7:00 pm” to maintain consistency in the document.

8. Move the insertion point to the end of the “To sign up for the open mics,
contact” paragraph, type info@wordfest.cengage.com, and then press the
Spacebar to convert the text into a hyperlink that lets readers sign up easily.

9. On page 2, change the height of the microphone picture to 0.75" so that the
picture and the remaining paragraphs fit on one page.

10. Bold the paragraph “Louisville Word Fest” below the microphone picture.

11. Format the text in the last paragraph in the document as follows so that it
matches the formatting of the organization’s logo:

a. Remove the hyperlink from the text “wordfest.cengage.com”.

b. Italicize the text “wordfest.cengage.com”.

12. Apply Purple, Accent 5, Lighter 60% paragraph shading (9th column, 3rd row
of the Theme Colors palette) to the paragraphs containing the microphone
picture, the name of the festival, and the address line below it.

13. Check the Spelling & Grammar in the document to identify and correct any
spelling errors. (Hint: You should find and correct at least one spelling error.)

Your document should look like the Final Figure on the following page. Save your
changes, close the document, and then exit Word. Follow the directions on the SAM
website to submit your completed project.
