This week you are introduced to the correspondence and report templates found in Word.

When working with templates, keep the following in mind:

It is better to first select text that is to be replaced and begin typing, rather than deleting the text.

Deleting the text can also delete embedded formatting.

Let’s discuss the advantages of using a template – consistency in document appearance, savings in time, ease of use and so on.

What about your employer? Do they create their own templates? Or are you able to create your own?◦ Ok. You may not be working at the moment. Please

provide your thoughts on the topic. ;-) Please type at least 3-4 complete sentences. If time permits, please respond to at least 2

classmates!

Effective Communication Guidelines (for the future) Make appropriate language choices that reflect

your knowledge and understanding of the topic. Draw from a large and flexible vocabulary. Apply conventions and rules of language

appropriately. Practice clear diction, including appropriate

pronunciation, clear articulation of consonant sounds, and distinct enunciation of vowel sounds.

Strive to eliminate distracting elements of dialect.

We will only quickly discuss the notes to study this week. You are welcome to view the recording.

Final timed writing will be Skills Assessment on Part 6 in the main text on page 490.

You will also need to identify misspelled words.

You will not be able to view your exam until after the course has ended.

Before all final exam grades are released, I do go over it to ensure everything is correct. I will make adjustments, as needed.

Once you start the test…Finish it. I will not be able to reset it for you. Do not leave the computer.

You will only have until the last day of class to complete exam. I will not allow extensions.
