Why It Matters

11


Why is it important for me to learn how to work with multiple applications?

While there are software applications that have many capabilities, each application usually has a specific function. However, there are many situations in the real world where you will need to combine these functions and applications to present a body of information. Conducting research and creating presentations are just two of many examples of the need for working with integrated applications.

Whether you are using Microsoft Office applications for work, school, or as a hobby, knowing how to use them together will greatly increase the ease with which you use the applications as well as the level of sophistication of the products you create with them.


11


Microsoft Office ToolsAfter you learn how to use a tool in one Microsoft Office application, the same tool usually works the same way in other Office applications. This makes it easy to use different programs to create a single project. In this project, you will learn how to use the following tools in Microsoft Word and also be able to use them in other Microsoft Office applications:• Create, size, and format a text box• Use the ruler to modify bullets and margins• Insert and modify clip art• Use Drawing Tools• Add layers to a text box

Hanging Indent Where the second line of text in a bulleted item begins



pg. 370–372 Exercise 1-4 Insert Clip Art

In this exercise, you will insert clip art into your advertisement and change its appearance using the group and ungroup tools.

Graphics, such as clip art, can make an ad more interesting. When you insert clip art in a Word document:

linking

The process of connecting text boxes so that when one box is filled, the text continues into the linked box. (pg. 394)


pg. 394–396 Exercise 2-5 Create Linked Text Boxes

In this exercise, you will continue your newsletter by adding a second article using linked text boxes. The chart you created in the previous exercise will then be inserted into this article. Finally, you will insert page numbers into the newsletter.

By linking text boxes in a Word document, you can create an effect similar to columns. Using linked text boxes, you can:

Continue an article from one column to the next Make text flow from a text box on one page to a text box

on another page in a document

Project Assessment

Describe What is the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and how does it help Internet users?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is a consumer protection agency of the federal government that works to prevent unfair or deceptive acts or practices that harm consumers. The FTC investigates Internet fraud, thereby making Internet users safer from criminals who use the Internet to try to trick people into giving money or information.

22





Project Assessment

Identify What aspects of the Internet do criminals use to their advantage?

Possible answers include: Criminals use the Internet’s anonymity to hide their identity. Criminals use the Internet’s vast network to reach a large

number of potential victims quickly and easily.

22



Project Assessment

Explain What is linking, with reference to text boxes in a Microsoft Word document? How can linking be used?

Linking is the process of connecting text boxes so that when one box is filled, the text continues into the linked box. Linking text boxes can be used to:

Why It Matters

33

Why is it important for me to learn about emerging technologies?

Just 50 years ago, scientists and inventors envisioned future technologies like homes that can talk to you and robots that help you with household chores. Many people never thought that these things could be developed, and yet today they are a reality. There are smart homes and robots that vacuum floors.

As more households are becoming two-income families and people are working more and longer hours, these emerging technologies might become a reality in our every day lives.

How can you learn about these technologies and share the information with others?



33

Research New Technologies


After you brainstorm a research plan that includes keywords you will use to search Google™, you will want to share that information with classmates and others.

Because the information you will find is exciting and new, you will want your presentation to be just as exciting.

The best way to showcase the information and demonstrate through the use of data, video, graphics, and or sound is by creating an integrated presentation in PowerPoint that makes use of features in Excel and Word that will organize your information and keep your audience’s attention.



pg. 401 Exercise 3-1 Research New Technologies

In this exercise, you will use your Web browser to search the Internet for information about the latest advances in home technology. You will later use this information to create a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.

An Internet search can produce an overwhelming number of results. If this happens, you should:

Briefly read the summary details of the first 10 to 15 results to find suitable sites

Consider using advanced search options

33


APPLICATIONS USED



pg. 402–403 Exercise 3-2 Create an Outline in Word

In this exercise, you will learn to use Word’s Outline View to format your document into an outline. In the next exercise, you will see how this Word outline can be imported into PowerPoint to create the content of a presentation quickly.

You can use an outline to organize topics for: Reports Papers Presentations Other assignments

33

Microsoft Word

APPLICATIONS USED

8I Future Home Outline

DATA FILE USED



pg. 402–403 Exercise 3-2 Create an Outline in Word

More important items are at a higher level Supporting items are at a lower level

33

Outline View

A view in Microsoft Word that lets you organize a document into headings and body text so that you can easily see how the document is structured. (pg. 402)



pg. 404–405 Exercise 3-3 Create a Presentation from an Outline

In this exercise, you will use and modify the outline you created in the previous exercise to create an informative presentation. Each main outline topic will become its own slide in PowerPoint and each subtopic will become a bulleted list.

Microsoft PowerPoint can convert a Word outline into a presentation. Creating a presentation this way can help you:

Effectively organize your ideas Quickly create the skeleton of a presentation

33

Microsoft PowerPoint

APPLICATIONS USED



pg. 406–407 Exercise 3-4 Create a Chart for Your Presentation

In this exercise, you will create a spreadsheet about household robots. You will create a spreadsheet based on an annual United Nations report on the use of robots, and then use the spreadsheet to create a graph to enhance your presentation.

In this exercise, you will use the Slide Master to add animated elements to all your slides. You will also add sound.

Remember these guidelines when adding sounds and animation to a slide show presentation:

Sounds and animation can make a presentation more appealing, but they can also be distracting.

Consider your audience. Sounds and animation should support the purpose

of your presentation.

33


APPLICATIONS USED



pg. 412–413 Exercise 3-7 Add Transitions and Speaker Notes

In this exercise, you will use the Slide Sorter View to change the order of your slides and to add transitions to your presentation. You will also add speaker notes based on your research notes.

Integrated Applications UnitUnit Assessment

Define In your own words, define emerging technology.

An emerging technology is a technology that is in the process of being developed. Although an emerging technology may be in use today, it is being adapted or refined for new uses in the future.


Integrated ApplicationsUnitUnit Assessment

Explain How is responsible technology use related to the environment?

Rapid technological change produces obsolete equipment, or electronic waste. Many discarded devices contain harmful chemicals that can contaminate the air and water near landfills. People should take measures to minimize the impact of their technology use on the environment. They can do this by:

Reusing and recycling paper and ink cartridges Donating used equipment to a charity or

recycling program Disposing of used equipment safely



Analyze Would you be more likely to use a bulleted list or a numbered list to present each of the following?

1. steps in assembling a bike2. items to buy at the grocery store3. ways to protect one’s privacy online4. instructions in a recipe
