3.

To emphasize the three major programs, format the three paragraphs beginning

“Best Bicycling Communities:...” and ending “...fun, transportation, and health.”

as a numbered list using the numbering style

1, 2, 3

with bold numbers and no

periods. Refer to the Final Figure, if necessary.

18 pt.

To format subheadings consistently, use the Format Painter to copy the

formatting from the “Candidates for New Awards” heading to the following

headings:

“Award Renewals”

“Current Award Winners”

6.

For the italicized paragraph “

The application deadline...at

www.aba.cengage.com/apply.

”, change the Indent Left to

0.5"

and the Indent

Right to

0.5"

to set the paragraph apart from surrounding paragraphs.

7.

On page 2, for the italicized paragraph “

easy on the wallet.

”, increase the indent by one level to make the quotation

easy to find on the page.

8.

Format the three paragraphs beginning “Fort Collins, Colorado” and ending

“Portland, Oregon” as a bulleted list using the default bullet style.

9.

For the bulleted list beginning “Maps and guides...” and ending “...and

recreational programs”, use the check mark bullet style.

10.

Format the four paragraphs beginning “Spring...” and ending “...Bike Bazaar” as

follows:

Insert a left

0.75"

tab stop for all four paragraphs.

b.

Insert a tab immediately before each event name (“Ride Your Bike Week”,

“State Bike Challenges”, “Shifting Gears”, and “Holiday Bike Bazaar”) to

align the text with the new tab stops.

of the Theme Colors palette) to the paragraph “Please contact the ABA for more

information at (970) 555-2400.”

12.

Resize the picture at the end of the document to a height of

2.67"

and a width

of

4"

to make the picture contents easier to see.

13.

Apply the

Offset Diagonal Top Right

picture effect from the Outer section of

the Shadow picture effect gallery to add professional polish to the document.

(

Hint:

Depending on your version of Office, the picture effect may display as

Offset Top Right

instead.)

Your document should look like the Final Figure on the following pages. Save your

changes, close the document, then exit Word. Follow the directions on the SAM website

to submit your completed project.
