Assignment #1 - Format a Text Document in Word

The text document ex1.txt has to be formatted using Word (or other Word Processing Program).

1. Tips before you Start

• Use <F1> to get the Help; type your keyword directly into the help box
• The following short cut keys are almost universally used in Windows programs:
  Shift Up-Arrow - highlights the line above the cursor
  Shift Down-Arrow - highlights the line at the cursor
  Shift Left-Arrow - highlights the characters to the left of the cursor
  Shift Right-Arrow - highlights the characters to the right of the cursor
  Shift Delete - deletes highlighted text (saved in Clipboard) [Cut]
  Shift Insert - copies (inserts) saved text (from Clipboard) [Paste]
  Ctrl-C - copies highlighted text (saved in Clipboard) [Copy]
• If you make a mistake while editing, go to the Edit menu and Select `Undo'
• Many of the most common formatting features are on the second toolbar
• Move the cursor over an icon and wait 2 seconds to see a help description appear

2. Re-format the text to the following specifications

Note that some words and phrases are underlined in red, some in green (why)?

• Text Width 6.0 inches, Left Margin 1.25 inches
• Make Arial the default font for this document
• Main Title - bold, 14pt, centered
• Authors - bold, 10 pt, centered
• Author Addresses - italics, centered
• The subheadings should be bold, and not indented
• Ignore the Tables and Figures, we will add them later
• Note the symbol for degrees (deg) in the Introduction
• In the section `Data Processing', we encounter the unit `mugal' for microgal, it needs a Greek symbol. Later on in the document we find more Greek symbols
• In the section `Comparison with ...' we find two equations, use the Equation Editor Help to format these
• The references should have a hangindent of 0.25 inches
• Note carefully the use of superscripts ^{} and subscripts _{}
• Note carefully the use of bold \bf{} and italics \it{}.
