PROJECT STEPS

As a financial analyst for Washburn Home Health Care, you are helping Sarah Alvarado, the director of the Financial Development Division, to create a marketing analysis report summarizing expansion plans. Sarah has reviewed a draft of the report using tracked changes. You will add her comments and revisions to your copy of the report and then complete it. Combine documents as follows to incorporate Sarah's revisions and comments into your copy of the report:

Combine your document (the original document) with the file Support_WD365_2021_7a_Sarah.docx. [Mac Hint: If prompted, select the file to grant access.]

Select all the Comparison settings and show changes in the original document.

Turn on Track Changes and display All Markup for review. Accept and reject tracked changes in the document as follows:

Accept each change in the first body paragraph because the changes improve the paragraph.

In the second body paragraph, reject the change to the text "Washburn Home Health Services" so that the bold formatting is removed.

Accept the remaining changes in the document, which are also improvements.

On page 2, with Tracked Changes on, apply the Heading 1 style to the heading "Executive Summary" because this heading begins a new major topic.

Turn off Track Changes. Read the first comment in the document, and then respond to Sarah's request as follows:

In the blank paragraph after the first paragraph on page 2 ("The secondary market…for service coordination."), insert a pie chart.

Type the chart data as shown in Figure 1.

Change the chart colors to Colorful Palette 4.

Figure 1: Pie Chart Data

Read the second comment in the document, and then respond to Sarah's request as follows:

Open the workbook Support_WD365_2021_7a_Chart.xlsx.

In the Market Projections worksheet, copy the column chart.

Return to the report document, and then move the insertion point to where Sarah instructs you to insert the column chart.

Link the chart to the document using the destination theme to keep the chart data the same in both locations while using the report document's theme.

Close Support_WD365_2021_7a_Chart.xlsx.

Modify the linked chart as follows to suit the design of the Word document and to update data:

In the report document, add Projected Customers as the chart title.

Change the chart style to Style 2 to display values on each segment of the columns.

Read the next comment in the document, and then continue editing as follows:

Open the workbook Support_WD365_2021_7a_Competition.xlsx.

In the Services worksheet, copy cells A1:F5.

Return to the report document, and then move the insertion point to where Sarah instructs you to insert the data about competitors.

Use Paste Special to embed the worksheet selection in the Word document as a Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object so that it retains the layout of the original worksheet. The source data is unlikely to change, so you do not need to link it to the source file.

Modify the embedded worksheet by formatting the text using the Automatic font color.

Close Support_WD365_2021_7a_Competition.xlsx.

Delete all the comments in the document because they are no longer needed.

On the last page in the document, insert a bookmark to the "Competitive Analysis" heading using Competition as the bookmark name to make it easy to find the table of competitor's data.

At the end of the first sentence in the document, format the word "competition" as a hyperlink to the "Competition" bookmark.

Insert another hyperlink as follows to make it easy for readers to access an external document:

In the last paragraph in the document, format the word "here" as a hyperlink that targets the document Support_WD365_2021_7a_TopTen.docx.

Add a ScreenTip with the following text: Table of top ten competitors

Your document should look like the Final Figure on the following pages. Rename your completed file to NP_WD365_7a_FirstLastName_2.docx. Save your changes, close the document, and then exit Word. Follow the directions on the website to submit your completed project.
