Gr 10 – Page 117 Activity 5 and 6 - Text effects in Office 2007 and Format Painter

Text effects in 2007

In Word 2003 if you go to Format, Font, Text effects you have the option of Shimmer, Marching Black Ants and other fun text effects.  If you open the file PressReleaseENG, for Activity 5 on page 117,  in Word 2007 you cannot change the text effects as Word 2007 does not have that feature. 

Format Painter

Activity 6 on page 117 is about the Format Painter.  Using Word 2007, to show the real use of the Format Painter one can have the file for Activity 5 open, use the Format Painter and copy the text effects formatting to Activity 6.  Doing this really shows how the format painter can be used, especially as Word 2007 does not have those formatting features.

Do we all HAVE to go over to 2007 this year or can we phase it in as from next year?

Nobody's forcing anybody to "go over" to 2007 or 2010. It's advisable if you're using MS Office to start making the progression. I've started it with my Grade 10's and my Grade 11's - my 12's are still using 2003, I don't think it would wise to change in Grade 12. Enjoy :)
