The Lower Campus Edition - October 3, 2013
Got Questions?
I showed up and we covered their questions, then they had a few more questions. Finally, Jeanne handed me Word document and asked if I could show her how to reproduce it from scratch.
I couldn't have asked for anything better. My schedule this year allows me to be much more flexible. This means I can be at the lower campus more often. So, why am I telling you this? I want you to think about the technology that's available to you. What would you like to learn? What part of technology is frustrating you?
I can come meet with individuals or grade levels. You decide. All I want is for you to do exactly what LeAnn did. All you need to do is email me and let me know when you are available, and tell me what you want to learn.
Create a text box in Word
Here's what Jeanne wanted to know how to do. Here's a link to the example of what she wanted to create -- Click here
2. From the Insert tab, choose Text Box.
3. From the Text Box option window, select the first option (Simple Text Box)
4. Put your cursor inside the box and start typing.
5. Once you’ve entered text, you’ll want to make the black border invisible. Right click on the Text Box. Two option windows will open. Choose the Shape Outline option. Then, select No Outline.
6. Now you can move the Text Box anywhere on the page. Click on the Text Box. Move the cursor until it turns into the 4 arrows. Move the box to its desired location.
7. To rotate your words vertically, use the green circle to rotate.
9. Now you need to group all the Text Boxes as one box so you can copy. Hold the SHFT key down and click on each individual Text Box. Once all the boxes have been selected, right click and choose Group.
10. Once all the Text Boxes are grouped, right click on the group and choose Copy.
11. Right click again and choose Paste. Then move the new box in place.
12. Click on the name and change the name.
