Year 7 - we have lots to do.


Let's get started right away!


1)As a class let's review the Word Toolbar and the vocabulary associated with it. We need to know: ribbon, office button, tab, group, command. These are important aspects of the New Word 2007 and we need to know them so we can speak about them intelligently!

2) Word processing practice:

Start up Word 2007,

A. open a new file and enter the following text:

The Olney Pancake Race

Pancake races are not uncommon inmany towns and villages but the Olney pancake race is perhaps most internationally famous. It has been filmed and shown on televisionin Britain and America.

The Olney panckae race started in the year 1455 and at that time pancakes were as popular as pizzas are today. In order to qualify for the race, you must have been a permanent resident of Olney for at least three months. There is a dress code for all competitiors, the housewife's traditional uniform - an apron and headscarf!

At 11.30 a bell is rung to tell competitors to start frying pancakes . A quarter of an hour later, a secodn bell is rung to tell them to assemble on teh market Square with their freshly made pabncake and frying pan.

All competitors must toss their pancakes once whilst under starter's orders and then twice during the actual race. the prize for all this effor, apart from the fame, is a kiss from the ringer of the pancake bell.

B. Save the text with the filename P1, close the file and exit word.
C. Load Word and reload the file, P1.
D. Proofread and spellcheck your work, making corrections as necessary.
E. Quick save your file.
F. Insert a new paragraph after the paragraph ending: It has been filmed and shown on television in Britain and America.

A pancake is a thin flat cake of batter usually fried and turned in a pan, often rolled up with a filling. Pancakes are traditionally eaten on shrove Tuesday.

G. In the fourth paragraph after the words tell them to assemble, delete the words on the Market Square.
H. Replace competitors with the word entrants each time it apprears (three times).
I. In the third paragraph move the sentence In order to qualify for the race, you must have been a permanent resident of Olney for at least three months from being the second sentence so that it becomes the last sentence in the paragraph.
J. Save the file as a Word 97-2005 document with the filename P3.
K. Close the file and exit Word.

3) Let's type a little. 10 minutes for typing lessons and 10 minutes for typing GAMES:-)
