  • If the footer does not display your name, delete the file and download a new copy from the SAM website.

• PROJECT STEPS

1. As an executive assistant at Hankins Aerospace in San Diego, California, you are drafting an annual report for the members of a management committee to review. The report begins with a personalized cover letter to shareholders.
   
   Change the margins and orientation of the document as follows:
   1. Change the page orientation to Portrait to use the standard format for letters.
   2. Change the top and bottom margins to .75" to allow more space for content.
2. Use the content placeholders as follows to include standard information for a form letter:
   1. Delete the COMPANY NAME content control because the letterhead already displays the company name.
   2. Use the Date content control with the "CLICK TO SELECT A DATE" placeholder text to display JANUARY 17, 2022 as the date.
3. Apply the Basic (Stylish) style set to use the standard style set for Hankins Aerospace reports.
4. Create custom theme colors and fonts to apply to this report and other Hankins Aerospace reports as follows:
   1. Create a customized set of theme colors named Hankins that uses Teal, Accent 4 as the Hyperlink color.
   2. Create a customized set of theme fonts named HA Reports that uses Calibri Light as the heading font and Constantia as the body font.
5. Create a new paragraph style as follows to use for the inside address:
   1. Create a paragraph style named Inside Address based on the "INSERT INSIDE ADDRESS" paragraph.
   2. Change the Spacing After paragraph setting of the Inside Address style to 2 point.
   3. Change the font color of the Inside Address style to Black, Text 1, Lighter 35%.
6. Save the new formatting settings as a custom theme, using Hankins as the name, so that you can use the theme with other company documents.
7. At the bottom of the letter, insert a hyperlink as follows:
   1. Replace the text "[insert email address]" with the text info@hankins.cengage.com to insert the company email address.
   2. Format the text "info@hankins.cengage.com" as a hyperlink that links to the info@hankins.cengage.com email address.
   3. Add the ScreenTip Hankins general email address to the hyperlink.
8. To set up the document as a form letter, start the Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard, accept Letters as the document type, and then choose to use the current document as the starting document. Choose to create a new recipient list, and then customize the columns in the recipient list as follows:
   1. Customize the columns by deleting the Country or Region, Home Phone, Work Phone, and E-mail Address fields.
   2. Rename the ZIP Code field using Postal Code as the new field name.
   3. Add a new field to the end of the address list using Year as the field name. 
9. Enter the address information for the two recipients as shown in Table 1, and then save the data source using a name of your choice.

 

Field	Record 1	Record 2
Title	Ms.	Mr.
First Name	Karen	Mark
Last Name	Hong	Roby
Company Name	Blair Group	AJ Global
Address 1	232 Ford Drive	58 Pacific Highway
Address 2		Suite 500
City	San Diego	Seattle
State	CA	WA
Postal Code	92112	98111
Year	2015	2017

 

10. Continue to Step 4 in the Mail Merge Wizard, and then insert the inside address as follows:
    1. Select the placeholder text "INSERT INSIDE ADDRESS", and then insert an AddressBlock merge field using the Mr. Joshua Randall Jr. format.
    2. Delete the placeholder text.
11. Insert the greeting line as follows:
    1. Select the placeholder text "INSERT GREETING LINE", and then insert a GreetingLine merge field using the Dear Mr. Randall, format.
    2. Delete the placeholder text.
12. In the last paragraph in the body of the letter, select the "[YEAR]" placeholder text, and then insert the "Year" merge field to include the year the recipient became a shareholder.
13. To include personalized text, add an IF field as follows:
    1. At the end of the second body paragraph ("We remain committed…world around us."), insert an If…Then…Else rule.
    2. Compare whether the City field is equal to San Diego as the condition.
    3. Insert the following sentence if the condition is true:
       We want to help San Diego continue to provide excellent support to businesses.
    4. Leave the false condition option blank so that Word does not insert text if the City is not San Diego.
14. Continue to Step 5 of the Mail Merge wizard, and then edit the recipient list to filter the data records to select only recipients where the Year field is equal to 2015 to prepare the first batch of letters for the most long-term shareholders.
15. Complete the mail merge as follows in the lettered steps below. You will merge to a new document and then copy a page of the merged file to your original document, so that all of your assignment appears in the same file.
    1. Continue to Step 6 of the Mail Merge wizard, and then merge all records to a new document.
    2. In the new document containing the merged form letters, copy the contents of page 1, beginning with the blank paragraph at the top of the page and ending with the paragraph "enc."
    3. In the original form letter document, move the insertion point to the blank paragraph at the top of page 2, and then paste the merged form letter into the main document.
    4. Verify that the pasted merged form letter appears only on page 2 of the original form letter document.
    5. Turn off the preview of the mail merge results, and close the new, merged document without saving it.
16. On page 3, crop the yellow rectangle from the picture at the top of the page.
17. Expand the character spacing of the heading paragraph "Strategic Growth and Advanced Technology" by 1.2 point to call attention to the heading.
18. Format text in columns as follows:
    1. Insert a Continuous section break at the beginning of the first body paragraph on page 3 ("The market strategy…than ever before.") to prepare for setting the section text into columns.

    3. Format the new section beginning "The market strategy…" and ending "…retailers every day." into two columns.
    4. Insert a line between the columns.
19. Add a drop cap as follows to include a professional typeface element:

    1. Split the cell containing the text "2021 2020" into 2 columns and 1 row.
