unit 2 lesson 1 reflection

In unit one lesson 1 we learned how to create newsletters using columns, columns breaks, continuous breaks, etc. The first newsletter we created was a holiday newsletter we researched the information on the internet to put into our newsletter.  In the second newsletter we created a newsletter for heritage in this newsletter it was aimed to describe to new people to our school how our school is. We used our shortcut commands, single line spacing, section breaks, and other things. We also used cite references this is the way we cite our sources that we used and Microsoft puts it in the right format. I learned a lot of things in lesson1 of unit 2 about creating newsletters.

Shortcut Commands

Shortcut commands are important, because they help you to do things faster on Microsoft. When you use shortcut commands you rarely have to use your mouse. It is good to use these becasue they help you work more effeciently and you do everything using your keyboard. Basically everything you need to do omn microsoft when typing a documnet, making a powerpoint, etc can be done by using these shortcuts.

The Word Window

Word document has changed a lot over the years. These changes started to happen in 2003. Things on word stayed the same from 1997 to 2003. Some of the changes that started to occur were things like more color, enhanced toolbar, and file button changed from a word to a logo than back to a word. In 1997 there were just pictures on the toolbar now it has enhanced to pictures and words. At first Microsoft did not show you how many words you had typed; now they do at the bottom of the screen. The changes that Microsoft word has made have been significant causing some advantages and some disadvantages. There have been so many changes made, that they cannot all be named.
