PROJECT STEPS

You are updating a cover letter to send to a potential employer. To allow more room for content, set custom document margins by changing all four margins to 0.75″.

To create a custom look for the letter, change the body font of the document theme to Cambria, and then save the customized theme font using Cover Letter as the name.

Modify the Heading 2 style to use the Corbel font, which is the font for headings in the document theme.

To further customize the document’s appearance, apply the Basic (Elegant) style set.

Replace the placeholder text in the content controls by typing the information shown in bold in Table 1 on the next page.

Table 1: Text for Content Controls

Delete the Position content control, which is not needed in this letter.

In the second body paragraph, format the Company Name content control, which displays “Madora Media”, so that the text appears in Aqua, Accent 1, Darker 25% (5th column, 5th row of the Font Color gallery), making it stand out from the surrounding text.

In the “Requirements and Qualifications” table, move the “Client-focused team player” row so that it appears after the “Advanced communication skills” row to emphasize the communication skills.

Add a row to the table and reduce the amount of typing required by copying and pasting a row as follows:

a. Copy the “Advanced communication skills” row, and then paste it immediately above the “Microsoft Office proficiency” row so that it becomes the new row 5.

b. In the new row 5, replace the text “Advanced communication skills” with the text Public speaking experience to add a requirement.

Create a 0.5″ left indent and a 0.5″ right indent for the note paragraph below the table (“Academic transcripts…www.tylerprescott.cengage.net.”) to offset the note.

In the last body paragraph (“I would welcome…hearing from you.”), format the “tyler.prescott@cengage.net” email address as a hyperlink using the information shown in bold in Table 2 below.

Table 2: Hyperlink Settings

Check the compatibility of the document, noting the second issue that Word identifies. To make the document compatible with earlier versions of Word, delete this incompatible element from the document. (Hint: The only shape or text box in the document is the signature.)

To allow more room for the signature and use standard formatting, format the “Sincerely,” complimentary close paragraph as follows:

c. Remove the italics.

d. Change the font color to Automatic.

e. Change the Spacing Before and After to 10 pt.

f. Create a paragraph style based on the formats in the “Sincerely,” text, using Close as the name of the new style.

Apply the new Close style to the “Enclosure” paragraph at the end of the document.

To indicate that you are finished updating the letter, scroll to the first body paragraph to display the “Draft” watermark, and then remove the watermark.

Check the Spelling & Grammar in the document to identify and correct any spelling errors. (Hint: Ignore names. You should find and correct at least one spelling error.)

Your document should look like the

on the following page. Save your changes, close the document, and then exit Word. Follow the directions on the SAM website to submit your completed project.
