Lab 2: Advanced Microsoft Word

For this lab you will do three online tutorials supplied by Microsoft
to help you to better understand how to use graphics, tables, and
table of contents within Microsoft Word.

NOTE: when you open the practice word document from the Microsoft website, 
it opens up in Word 2007 by default, while all the instructions in the 
practice sessions are for Word 2003. There is an easy fix for this: Whatever 
template opens up, save it on the computer and then open it up again --
now it opens in Word 2003 and all the practice exercises make sense again. 
This same fix applies to the labs for Excel and Powerpoint.
 
Go to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/CR061958171033.aspx 
which has a list of the Microsoft Word 2003 Courses.

The three tutorials you will be doing are: "Add graphics and keep them
where you want them", "Tables II: Use tables to simplify complex page
layouts", and "Table of Contents I: Create a basic TOC".

The "Tables II" tutorial assumes that you already know how to use
Tables in Word.  If you feel like you need a refresher, then you can
do the first tables tutorial, "Tables I: Create and format basic
tables" (but don't turn it in).

Each tutorial has three hands-on practice sessions.  After doing each
practice session, before continuing with its tutorial you should save
the Word document, and then close Word.  Please save the files with
the following names:

Adding graphics Tutorial:
Practice Session #1 = "Insert graphics.doc"
Practice Session #2 = "Position graphics.doc"
Practice Session #3 = "Wrapping graphics.doc"

Tables II Tutorial:
Practice Session #1 = "Table problems.doc"
Practice Session #2 = "Table layout.doc"
Practice Session #3 = "Nested tables.doc"

Table of Contents Tutorial:
Practice Session #1 = "Create TOC.doc"
Practice Session #2 = Format TOC.doc"
Practice Session #3 = Custom TOC.doc"

For the Table of Contents Tutorial, Practice Session #2: choose Formal
style for Exercise 1; choose dashes for the tab leader and right align
with showing page numbers for Exercise 2; and save the document in
Print Layout.

For the Table of Contents Tutorial, Practice Session #3: At the end,
reapply Heading 1 style to "The Planets", "The Sun", and "Asteroids",
and have them at TOC Level 1.

To hand it in, create a zip file containing the nine files, and name
