Start to Finish

CREATING A FORM

GETTING STARTED

• Open the file NP_WD19_9b_FirstLastName_1.docx, available for download from the SAM website.
• Save the file as NP_WD19_9b_FirstLastName_2.docx by changing the “1” to a “2”.
  • If you do not see the .docx file extension in the Save As dialog box, do not type it. The program will add the file extension for you automatically.
• With the file NP_WD19_9b_FirstLastName_2.docx still open, ensure that your first and last name is displayed in the footer.
  • If the footer does not display your name, delete the file and download a new copy from the SAM website.

• PROJECT STEPS

1. You and a friend recently started a virtual assistant (VA) business that offers support services to busy professionals, including social media account management, online research, and data entry. You are creating an electronic form that customers can use to request your services. You will use advanced table formatting techniques and insert content controls to complete the form.
   In the Customer Information table, merge the cells in the first row, which contains the text "Customer Information".
2. Remove the borders from the right side of the cells containing "Phone:" and "Email:".
3. Insert a Plain Text content control in cell B3 (the blank cell to the right of "Contact name:") and format it as follows:
   1. Use Contact name as the title of the control.
   2. Do not allow the control to be deleted.
   3. In Design mode, use Enter your full name. as the placeholder text.
4. Insert a Check Box content control next to "New customer" (cell D4) and another one next to "Repeat customer" (cell D5).
5. In the Support Service Needs table, format cell C2 containing the text "What are the estimated hours for the task?" as follows:
   1. Split the cell into 2 columns and 1 row.
   2. Resize cell C2 so that it is the same width as cells C3 and C4 below it. (Hint: Drag the right border of the cell.)
6. Format cell A5 (the cell containing the "Office Use Only" text) as follows to clarify that it refers only to the bottom part of the table:
   1. Rotate the "Office Use Only" text in cell A5 so that it reads from bottom to top.
   2. Shade the cell with the Light Gray, Background 2 shading color.
7. Change the top and bottom cell margins for all the cells in the Support Service Needs table to 0.05".
8. Change the height of row 4 (which contains the text "How do you prefer to pay for services?") so that it is the same height as rows 2 and 3.
9. Add a 1 ½ point border to the bottom of row 4 (which contains the text "How do you prefer to pay for services?"). Use the default border color.
10. Insert a Drop-Down List content control in cell B3 (the blank cell to the right of "What type of tasks need to be completed?") and format it as follows:
    1. Use Task Type as the title of the control.
    2. Replace the default choice with the following three choices in the list:
       Social Media
       Research
       Data Entry
    3. In Design mode, use Click the arrow to select an option. as the placeholder text.
11. Insert a Combo Box content control in cell B4 (the blank cell to the right of "How do you prefer to pay for services?") and format it as follows:
    1. Use Payment as the title of the control.
    2. Replace the default choice with the following two choices in the list:
       Ewallet
       Credit Card
    3. In Design Mode, use Click to select or type an option. as the placeholder text.
12. Insert a Plain Text content control in cell D2 (the blank cell to the right of "What are the estimated hours for the task?") and format it as follows:
    1. Use Hours as the title of the control.
    2. In Design mode, use Enter estimated hours. as the placeholder text.
13. Insert a Date Picker content control in cell D3 (the blank cell to the right of "When should we start working?") and format the content control as follows:
    1. Use M/d/yy as the date format.
    2. In Design mode, use Click the arrow to select a date. as the placeholder text.
14. Insert a formula to calculate the estimated fee to start as follows:
    1. In cell C6 (the blank cell to the right of "Estimate to start:") insert a formula that adds the handling fee amount in cell C5 to 250. (Hint: Edit the formula so that it does not use a function but does start with an equal sign.)
    2. Select the Number format that shows currency values with two decimal places.
