LAUNCH VIDEO: Newsletter.wmv saved in mh_shares - 119 Blake - Word Processing - Video Tutorials.

Set your margins to .5" (narrow). Today we will be creating a Newsletter.  The top of a newsletter contains a masthead.

• Using Word Art, key "Recycling Works!"  Change text wrap and format the Word Art to your liking.
• Position your cursor below the WordArt.
• Set a Right Tab at 7.25". Key "Marion Township Recycling Guidelines" on the left.  Hit "Tab" and key "January 2014" on the right.  Format the text so it complements the WordArt.
• Draw a line under the text to separate the masthead from the body of the newsletter. Format the line to match the rest of the masthead.

Now it is time to key the body of the Newsletter.  Position your cursor below the Masthead line.
In the book, key the text on Pages 434 and 435:  It begins with "Why Recycle?" 

• Double space after titles. Make the titles bold and bigger. 
• Single space the paragraphs. Double space between paragraphs. (Home Ribbon)
• Justify the paragraph text. Most newsletters use justified paragraphs. (Home Ribbon)
• Customize the bullet in the bulleted list so it matches your color scheme. (Home Ribbon)
• Insert a DropCaps for the first letter of each "article." (Insert Ribbon)

To create the newsletter, highlight the text beginning with "Why Recycle?" and ending with "Jauary 31 of each year." Make this two columns:  Page Layout : Columns : More columns : make sure Apply: says "This section."

This is a one page newsletter.  Insert a graphic related to the topic. Make sure everything fits on one page. Don't forget, your titles should be bigger than the text.

Note:  Make sure your fonts complement each other.  Don't mix serif and san serif fonts.
