You can find the answers to these questions in Chapter 3 (pages 75 to 96 of the Microsoft Office 2010 Textbook). Also check the Chapter Summary on page 101 and the Vocabulary section on page 102.

You already worked on the Training Exercise (Parts 1 - 6). You also created the Kennel Log Exercise (page 81). Mrs. Feld asked you to type the information on page 81, enter the title Kennel Log and insert the tab stops shown on that page (center tab stops on 1" and 1.75". Then a right tab stop on 3.25" instead of 3". A decimal tab stop on 4" to align the decimals (periods) of the numbers. We also changed the tab stop of the title "Weight (kg) to a center tab, since a decimal tab stop doesn't work for text (titles and other words).

On March 15, 2012 - we worked on Exercise No. 2, "WELCOME," (pages 105 and 106). On March 16, 2012 you will work on Exercise No. 3, "TELECOMMUTING," and Exercise No. 4, "Vitamins," (pages 106 and 107). For Exercise 4, please add the sentence shown on top ("Vitamins are important...") before you type the text with columns. Also, if you prefer, enter the tab stops first (it looks better this way and may be easier for you).

On the week of March 19th, you will work on Exercises 5, 6 and 7. Exercise No. 5: must be saved as a Web Page (an HTML document) - you can check page 99 to learn how to do this. You will also work on your Skill Builder Lessons. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Mrs. Feld.
