Creating a flyer in Microsoft Word

Assignment 2: Creating a Flyer

Before beginning this assignment, you should thoroughly review Windows Explorer, File Management, Office Features, and Word Documents from your course textbook, Go! All in one: Computer concepts and application.

For this assignment you will be creating a one-page flyer in a Microsoft Word document. The flyer will advertise the fitness activities for students at a college. There are two categories of fitness activities: Fitness Services and Intramural Sports. Please carefully read the paragraph below to understand the fitness activities on and off campus.

The Associate Students of Laurel College sponsors fitness activities. These take place both on campus and off campus. The activities fall into two categories: Fitness Services and Intramural Sports. Fitness Services are noncompetitive activities, with the most popular being Kickboxing, Jogging, and Aerobics. The most popular Intramural Sports activities—which include competitive team and club sports—are Field Hockey, Volleyball, and Basketball.

Open a new Microsoft Word document and save it as LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, name your document SmithJ_M2_A2.doc.

Create a one-page flyer that contains the following:

• A title that uses Text Effects
• A text description about the activities based on the fitness activities detailed above. Do not simply copy and paste this! Rework it to more clearly present the information in your flyer.
• A SmartArt graphic
• A picture of your choice or the w01K_Volleyball image.
• Text that wraps around the graphic and/or the picture to demonstrate the use of the Text Wrapping feature.

Don’t forget to spell check your work.
Save your document as LastnameFirstinitial_M2_A2.doc. Submit this document to the M2: Assignment 2 Dropbox by Tuesday, March 3, 2015.
