4.5.14 My Life Newsletter
4.5.14 My Life Newsletter
Begin creating a newsletter about yourself.  Include topics such as: family, hobbies, future plans, favorites, least favorites, places you’ve been, things you’ve done, friends, etc.  
Create a new blank document in Word. Save as 4.5.14 My Life Newsletter in your Word folder.
Create the Nameplate which includes a WordArt title, Issue Information Line, and Ruling Line
Set the top margin to 1.5"
Insert a WordArt object that includes the title of your newsletter. (You choose appropriate title—even though “Newsletter” is shown in my example, it is NOT one--maybe something like: My Life, The Life of ___, My Story, All About Me, etc.)
Change font and font size. 
Change text fill and text outline 
from the Drawing Tools, Format ribbon.
Apply a Transform effect using the Text Effects
command on the Drawing Tools ribbon.
Resize and adjust position so that the WordArt 
object is centered in the top margin.
Create an Issue Information Line by keying the date at the left margin and your name at the right margin. (Hint: you must set a right tab at 6.5" to key your name.)
Create a Ruling Line by applying a bottom border to the issue information line. (When you press Enter, the border will move down to the next line. Click the Clear Formatting command in the Font group to move it back up)
Key the Content
Format into 2 or 3 columns. (HINT: be sure to insert a continuous break BEFORE setting your columns to keep the Nameplate in one column)
Include at least 6 topics (look at project description for suggestions). 
Include a heading for each topic. 
Do NOT change font, font size, etc. Just key the text with the default font and spacing.
You will make those changes in a later lesson including inserting clipart and customizing your color and font theme.
Save changes.
STOP. CLOSE Word.
