Word+Processing+1

The first activity is to have the students change the text of a class story. I always try to keep the Picture toolbar open in Word, as well as the Drawing toolbar. If you need to get either of these toolbars on the screen, go to **View**/**Toolbars**, then click on the toolbar that you want. If there is a checkmark beside the toolbar, then it is already on. If there is not a checkmark beside it, then it is off. Click on it to add or remove the checkmark. If the Picture toolbar appears over the document, then drag it up to the toolbar area above the document. The drawing toolbar will always appear below the document.

 * Preparation**
 * 1) Type a story that the class has created.
 * 2) Save it to a protected area of the **Allusers** drive, like the **classrooms** folder, in a folder with your name. Students can save to the labs folder, in a folder with your name, if they log in with your class username and password, but they can’t save changes on any file from any other folder on the network. They can open other files on the Allusers drive, but they can’t save changes to them. This keeps your template the way that you want it.
 * 3) Close **Microsoft Word**©.
 * 4) Double-click the **My Computer** icon on your desktop. If you don’t have access to the **My Computer** icon, then double-click the **Drives** or **Drives and Printers** icon, depending on which is on your computer.
 * 5) Double-click the **Allusers on (N)** icon.
 * 6) Double-click the **Classrooms** folder.
 * 7) Double-click the folder with your name.
 * 8) Click the word processing file one time. This will highlight the file.
 * 9) Hold down the **Ctrl** button and while you are holding it down tap the **C** button. This copies the file that is highlighted.
 * 10) Click the mouse one time in the same window to remove the highlight around your word processing file.
 * 11) Hold down the **Ctrl** button, and while you are holding it down, tap the **V** button. This will make a copy of the file appear named “Copy of…” whatever you named the file.
 * 12) Press **Ctrl+V** again and “Copy (2) of …” will appear.
 * 13) Repeat step 11 until there are enough copies of the file for every student in your classroom.
 * Student Directions 1st lab session**
 * 1) Log in to Novell with the class username and password.
 * 2) When the desktop loads, double-click the **Drives** or **Drives and Printers** icon.
 * 3) Double-click **Classrooms**.
 * 4) Double-click the folder with their teacher’s name.
 * 5) Double-click the file that has the same copy number as the computer they are sitting at. Example: child at computer 2 will open “Copy (2) of…”
 * 6) Have students highlight the title or the first sentence and change the font. They should keep changing the font until they find one that they like.
 * 7) Have students highlight the title or first sentence and change the font size.
 * 8) Tell students to highlight the second sentence and change the font and size on that sentence.
 * 9) Tell students to change the font and font size of every sentence in the story. Every sentence has to be a different font and a different size. No two sentences can have the same font or be the same size.

Spend the entire lab time with the students doing this. If someone finishes, show them how to change the color of the font and have them make every sentence a different color. At the end of the lab time, have students exit Microsoft Word© without saving changes. You might want to let the students print their work, if it works into your paper budget.
