Printed | Page 112 Practice Tasks - 3rd & 4th |
It is impossible to perform the 3th & 4th tasks on page 112 using Word 2010. The instructions apply to formatting WordArt in Word 2007!! I discovered this fact after searching Google for an answer as to why I couldn't manage these feats. There is no WordArt style 16 or 21 or shadow style 7 in Word 2010; and, it is impossible to set WordArt spacing to "Very Loose." Note from the Author or Editor: |

If I specify the worksheet scaling to fit on 1 page wide by 2 pages tall the entire worksheet prints on one page only. If I specify 2 pages wide by 1 page tall it prints vertically on 2 pages. Is the correct solution to first create a manual page break between the January and February data and then specify printing each month on a separate page? Note from the Author or Editor: |
