Jan's Working with Words
AutoTools: Summary
This project presented many ways to change the look and the contents of a
document. You learned ways to select a word, a paragraph, a line, and more. You
added, deleted, moved, and modified text. You worked with tab stops, columns,
margins, and indents. With Find and Replace you hunted for specific text. You
used AutoFormat to apply a template to a whole document. You used a template to
create a letter and made changes to the results. You used WordArt, a text box,
and the Drawing Tools to create a company logo. You created a template yourself.
With all these skills, you are ready to create and modify documents of all
types.
