You need to use what you just learned, and maybe learn a little more. Complete all parts of the following exercises. Don't forget to backup your Class disk when you have completed the exercises or whenever you stop for the day.

These exercises are about fictional organizations and fictional people.

The exercises use files from the word resource files. The default location for these files is c:\My Documents\complit101\words\
 
Save the documents to your Class disk as you make changes. These files are Read-Only so that you cannot save them in the original place. This keeps the original resource files intact in case you need to start over or another student will be using this same computer.

  6. Replace phrase: Open Find & Replace from the menu or from Browse Objects. In the Find What box, type  special offer  and in the Replace with box, type  special anniversary trip offer . Type carefully! There are 3 replacements to do.
     
  7. Modify and Move: Break the first paragraph into two paragraphs at  Since April and November…  by placing the cursor in front of Since and pressing the ENTER key twice. 

    Move the paragraph that starts  The hospital to be above the paragraph that starts  Scuba training…  

    In the last paragraph, delete the words  that are included in our anniversary special  and then modify the sentence to read   which lists choices of excursions and activities for the trip.   

    Change the words  trip planning guide  to  Trip Planner .
     
  8. AutoFormat the letter using the Style Gallery's Professional Letter template. If the format of World Travel Inc. changes, change it back to Matura Script Capitals, 24 pt., green.
     
  9. Make one page:  Delete the paragraph mark paragraph marks between the Closing and the Signature, and one paragraph mark below the Signature. Be careful not to delete the Signature by selecting too much!
     
    With the cursor on page 1, on the vertical ruler, drag the boundary between the white and gray parts at the bottom of the ruler downward just barely enough for the Enclosures to show back up on page 1 and page 2 to vanish.
     
    You may also need to delete other blank lines. The new paragraph styles include blank space after the paragraph, so you don't really need whole blank lines.
     
    If necessary, fix the alignment of the enclosures by moving the text over with the TAB key.
