8. Click this box

9. The Developer Tab should now appear at the top

10. Time to record the Macro! Open a new blank document. Go up to the Developer tab and click Record Macro. You can add a keyboard shortcut for your Macro. I used F2. Give it a try!

14. Assignment 2- Brochure Create a brochure using Microsoft word Select a topic of your choice! (travel brochure, mall brochure, pamphlet for a new product, fundraising cause) Make the brochure both visually appealing and informative. Keep a bibliography of your work

15. Requirements Your brochure will be 3-sided like the one below. You will also make it be on both sides of the paper. You will have to use two documents to do this.

16. Requirements Your pamphlet will need: Informative text as well as images A watermark or gradient (background) Fonts, styles, colours Modified margins and page layout Custom WordArt Bullet points An index/reference list Professional language Two-sided with 3 panels on each side

17. Getting Started Divide your two pages into thirds (three panels) using the line tool. Go to Insert -> Shapes to find it. Take a look at what parts will be the front, back, inside etc. You don’t have to label them. You can measure the spacing by using the ruler guides that are above. You will have to have two pages like this

18. Using a background Go to Fill Effects. Once there, you can choose various types of backgrounds and gradients. Make sure what you pick does not overpower your text.

19. Simple, and not too harsh. You can also choose patterns and textures. Look ay my example on the next page. Make sure your text is legible and avoid ugly colours and patterns.

20. Handy Information The shape Fill, Outline and Effects tools change the appearance of an object, like a square or text box. When you have your WordArt selected, you can go up to your tools and change the colour, shape and other effects.

21. I found some pictures online. I used some WordArt. The background is a texture that came with Word. I made an orange border by using the Square tool under Shapes. Go to Insert-> WordArt to get your funky text.

22. You will have to make a list or use bullets in your pamphlet. Here is a list with bullets I made for the back of the brochure, detailing some additional attractions. Make sure to include descriptions other than just lists, and have some pictures to match!

23. Bibliography Save all the sites that you have used for information as a Bibliography. Include the name of the website and the link. Example: Sprach Caffe.com http://www.sprachcaffe.com/english/cities/havana/events_in_havana.htm When you have your brochure the way you want it, we will print it out and make it double-sided. Hand in both your brochure and bibliography into the hand-in folder.
