Word Processing Assignment

This assignment is designed to check your word processing skills that specifically relate to formatting and proofing a document.  You will start with the text as it is provided to you in the text file and apply the steps outlined in these instructions and submit the revised document to your instructor for review and grading.

If you need help in performing any of the instruction steps, you can use the Help feature that is built into Microsoft Word or you can use the step-by-step guides with pictures that can be found at:

INSTRUCTIONS

Using the sampletext.docx file as your starting point, complete the following formatting in this order:

  1. Change the font in the entire document to Times New Roman
  2. Take the first sentence in the first paragraph (What is a quantum computer?) and use it as the title line at the very top of the document. Set the Style of the title to Heading 1 and make sure it is centered.
  3. Format the main body of the document to Times New Roman, 12 pt, and line spacing of 1.5
  4. Cut the section of the document that begins with “What is entanglement?” and ends just before “What is a qubit?”and place it directly before the section that begins with “What is decoherence?”
  5. Break the following sentences out as section headings and format them all in Heading 3 style, justified to the left:
    1. What is a qubit?
    2. What is superposition?
    3. What is entanglement?
    4. What is decoherence?
    5. What is quantum supremacy?
    6. Where is a quantum computer likely to be most useful first?
  6. Next, you are going to create a bullet list after paragraph two. Leaving the last paragraph intact, insert a copy of the last paragraph immediately after paragraph two and convert the items following the colon into a bullet list.
  7. Change the line spacing between the items on the bullet list that you just created in Step 6 to single space
  8. In the sentence at the beginning of the document that starts with,“A quantum computer harnesses…” Create a hyperlink for the text “quantum computer” and link it to: https://www.bbva.com/en/quantum-computing-how-it-differs-from-classical-computing/
  9. Using the Insert tab, add page numbers at the bottom of the page in the right corner using Plain Number 3 style
  10. Add a header and put your name in the header
  11. Insert page breaks at the following locations:
    1. After the first paragraph in the “What is a qubit” section
    2. After the first paragraph in the “What is entanglement” section
  12. On the Review tab, check for and correct all spelling and grammar errors.NOTE: Rigetti and IonQ are spelled correctly. Keep running through the correction checker, making corrections as necessary, until there are zero errors
  13. Manually scan back over the entire document. At this point there should be no words underlined with red or blue
  14. If you see any lines where the text is stretched out to fit across the page, adjust the spacing after the end of the period in that sentence
  15. Turn on “Show/Hide” so that all of formatting symbols are displayed
  16. Save the file using “Save As” and change the file name to INFM_109_YourLastName and use the .docx file name extension, replacing YourLastName with your actual last name.
  17. Submit the assignment for review and grading by the instructor.
