For our first assignment in Word, we will create a flyer to be printed or posted online. The flyer will advertise a volunteer opportunity for Health Sciences students at Paradise Valley Community College. Key skills in this practice are inserting text and pictures, textboxes, formatting text and footers.
Note: You may want to toggle the show/hide off so that you can see how the document will look when printed, or posted online.
Compare your document to the image below.
Note: It is ok if your document does not look exactly like the screenshot below. This is your first attempt at practicing a new skill. You will have the opportunity to make final adjustments, using the skills you learned, at the end of this practice.
