Business D & P

Business Documents and Publishing

 

This is my last blog for the semester, and I would

like to use it to advice others to definitely consider

taking this business class.

 

When I first signed up for the class I was

unsure about it because I did not know much

of what I was getting in to. However, I

am very glad I took the chance and

enrolled for the college course.

 

Business D & P was simply a sequel to

Intro to Word Processing , yet

it included in much detail much

more provided information about :

 

*How to type professionally

 

*the importance of proofreading

for an error free document

 

*How to type up major documents

such as summons, iteneraries,

Last Will and Testament,

and many more.

 

I know that I will use many of the things I learned from this class

and I am very glad I registered for it.

Letterhead

Letterhead

 

The letterhead task can be especially useful

to those who have to send out multiple emails,

business letters, personal letters, etc.

 

After creating a letterhead for a document,

one never has to type up there return contact information

such as name, address, email, phone number, and

other things that apply in that field.

 

When creating a letterhead one must be familar with:

 

*Inserting shapes into the document.

 

*Inserting clip art into the document.

 

*Inserting text box into the document.

 

All of which can be found under the Insert tab,..

 

Below is an example letterhead.

 



Meeting Agenda

Meeting Agenda

 

I found learning how to type up a meeting

agenda to be a useful task for later on

in life for meetings such as:

 

*   Business Meetings at work

*  Business Meetings at church

 

*Business Meetings for specific

orginizations.

 

I have always heard what takes place at the business

meetings at my church, and now I know by the few

steps in the picture below, I can successfully

keep track of the agenda from each monthly

meeting.

 





Cover Page

 

One of the most fun assignments I have completed in

my college course Business Documents and Publishing

is an assignment on how to create a cover page

for a document.

 

A cover page can be used for many things

such as an announcement (kind of like a newsletter)

for a business to advertise.

 

By creating a cover page,

one must be familar with:

 

 

*Creating a table in Word, and knowing

how to hide the grid-lines.

 

*Must be familiar with the Word Art tool.

 

*Must also be familiar with inserting clip-art

into the document.

 

By being familiar with these few steps, one can successfully create

a stylish yet sophisticated cover page.

 

Below is an example of a cover page.

 



Last Will and Testament

 

Last Will and Testament

 

I have learned many things while taking the college course

 "Business Documents and Publishing".

One document that particularly interested me

 was learning how to type up was a

Last Will and Testament.

 

This was definitely an easy task when following

the instructions provided, but

I would have never known how to

write up a will if I had not

completed this assignment.

 

Below is a screen shot of what a finished

Last Will and Testament will look like.

 

 

Medical Coding

I have considered taking a class for Medical Coding, 

and the lesson I completed in my business class this week

 helped encourage that decision even more. I learned some neat, creative ways

to create tables in Microsoft Word for patients medical bills

and other types of applications.

The table option in Microsoft Word is a very unique

feature. Any person who is interested in creating neat, 

organized layouts (medical bills for example) should 

definitely consider learning how to create these. 

Below is an example of exactly what you 

can create with simply using the Table tab

in Microsoft Word.

Linking Excel to Word

 

In my business class this week I learned how to link an excel sheet to a word document.

This particular lesson has been one of my favorites

because I never knew it was possible to do that.

 

Not only did I learn how to post an excel list to word,

but I also learned how to PASTE and keep the LINK AND KEEP

FORMATTING.

 

I know that this particular lesson will help me in time to come

because of the many office task's I complete at my job.

 

Below is a link that describes more on how to complete this rather easy

task.

Microsoft Publisher

 

 

Ever looked under Microsoft Office and wondered what exactly you would ever use "Publisher" for? I have!

 

 

I learned a very neat feature of just how Publisher can be beneficial this week; I learned how to make a profession logo and save it as a pnf file.

 

The logo above was actually quite simple to make (approximately 5 minutes).

 

You simply:

 

1) Open a blank page in microsoft publisher.

 

 

2) Insert a clip art ( I searched a clip art relating

to "dental").

 

3) Then, you just add a Word Art using what ever

name of phrase you prefer.

 

4) Highlight the both images, right click "group",

and then save your work.

 

You will now have a logo save as a pnf file (picture file).

 

 

Pretty easy, right? Have fun creating your own logo for your

own business, or just for the fun of it!



Microsoft Word: Sort Feature

How to Use the Sort Feature

 

 

When it comes to using Microsoft Office 2007, the features and advantages of the program are endless. A feature I find extremely useful is the "Sort Feature". By following these few simple steps one will easily be able to sort any type of list in ascending or descending order:

 

 

     1.) Select the paragraphs or lines that you wish to put in order.





     2.) On the HOME tab, hoover in the Paragraph and click the Sort button.





     3.) Under the Sort by box click Paragraphs; in the Type box, click Text; and then click Ascending or Descending (depending on which you prefer). Click OK.

Your list is now perfectly placed in ascending or descending order. 



The Great Pilgramige of Millions

TV is “crack.” This is what some people say; and there’s proof. “The average American spends 20 percent of their time each day” watching TV, according to a research group. Of this number, 5 percent are broadband internet users. A growing number are internet TV users.

A growing number of cable TV viewers are cancelling their "membership" for various reasons. Among these reasons are that cable prices tend to soar higher than internet TV prices, cable TV has less options to choose from what a person may want to watch, and a person can utilize their internet service for a number of reasons other than just watching TV. This has resulted in a growing number of people changing the way they view TV by switching from the "boob-tube" (traditional cable TV) to YouTube or other internet TV outlets.

For example, YouTube’s original channels have reached new heights in viewership since Google has been funding and promoting YouTube’s channels to advertisers since 2011. Netflix viewership had seen 1 billion hours of watched TV in June of 2012. The biggest viewership ever in the company’s history. The growing demographic of cable TV users switching to internet only TV viewing grow at a yearly rate. There’s a good reason, too. PC World declares that you can save big bucks by “cutting” the cable cord and simply watch internet TV at a much lower cost- like free.
