At Ferris, we have adopted the motto: Pink Pride, Ferris Wide.

We are encouraging everyone to wear/be Pink for the day.

Common WORD Shortcuts

Find which item from list 1 matches which item in list 2 and which item from list 3 they go with.

List 1:

1) Ctrl+A

2) Ctrl+C

3) Ctrl+S

4) Ctrl+V

5) Ctrl+X

6) Ctrl+Z

List 2:

A) The Copy command

B) The Cut command

C) The Paste command

D) The Save command

E) The Select All command

F) The Undo command

List 3:

i) This command updates the file on your storage medium (e.g. hard drive or network drive). Should there be an interruption in your work, you can be sure that everything done up to last time this command was executed will, be safe. When you are working, this command should be executed every few minutes.

ii) This command will reverse that last thing you did. You can keep executing this command over and over to reverse the second-last thing you did, third-last thing you did, etc. You can’t undo past a save.

iii)This command removes the selected text to the “Clipboard” from which it can be pasted to another location or multiple locations. It stays on the clipboard until new text is placed on the clipboard through cutting or copying, even if the file gets closed. This allows you to move text from one file to another easily.

iv) This command duplicates the selected text and puts it on the “Clipboard” from which it can be pasted to another location or multiple locations. It stays on the clipboard until new text is placed on the clipboard through cutting or copying, even if the file gets closed. This allows you to copy text from one file to another easily.

v) This command puts a copy of the information on the “Clipboard” into your file wherever the cursor is. If you execute this command while text is selected, the text from the clipboard will replace the selected text. Since this command does not remove the data from the clipboard (it only takes a copy), you can keep pasting repeatedly.

vi) This command selects the entire document with the exception of headers, footers, and graphics that are outside the margins. It is useful when making global changes to fonts, spacing, etc.

Uncommon WORD Shortcuts

Find which item from list 1 matches which item in list 2 and which item from list 3 they go with.

List 1:

1) Command +D

2) Command +F

3) Command +SpaceBar

4) Command +Y

5) Command+Shift + H

6) Command +W

7) Command +P

List 2:

A) The Find command

B) The Font command

C) The Replace command

D) The Spotlight command

E) The Close command

F) The Redo command

G) The Print command

List 3:

i) This command takes you to the Print window, which lets you choose printing options prior to sending the job to a printer.

ii) This command will repeat that last thing you did. You can keep executing this command over and over to redo the same thing over and over. This is especially useful if you are making multiple formatting changes to tab settings or font settings.

iii) This command takes you to the same window as Ctrl+G and Ctrl+F. It is used to locate things in the file and change them in a predetermined way. Of the three tabs in this window, the Replace command is by far the most useful and will save you hours upon hours if you learn to use it cleverly. Some characters are entered as codes (e.g. ^p) because these keys cannot be used for data entry while in the Replace window.

iv) This command gives you access to the window of the same name. In this window, you can modify all manner of text appearance including size, spacing, styles, colours, and fonts. While many of these modifications can also be made through toolbar shortcuts, the more rarely used ones such as Small Caps can only be found here.

v) This command closes your file. If you have made changes since your last save, you will be prompted to save first. For this reason, it is usually faster to hold down the Ctrl key and hit S then W consecutively.

vi) This command returns takes you to the Spotlight or Search bar where you can search for help on topics you are looking for.

vii) This command takes you to the same window as Ctrl+G and Ctrl+H. It is used to locate things in the file. The computer is fast, accurate and stupid, so it will look for exactly what you type including space bars (case-sensitivity is an option you can choose).

WORD Shortcuts Assignment

2. Make the changes to the file so that it appears as in the sample format shown below.

Text is all 12pt in size.

Use selection and formatting shortcuts to speed the process, especially Ctrl+y and drag/drop.

2. Use Save As to put a copy of this file in your Completed Files folder. You can print a copy if you like.

Sample Format:

In this window, you can modify all manner of text appearance including size, spacing, styles, colours, and fonts.

Pet Rocks Rock!

Division 1 made pet rocks (and homes for our pet rocks) and some even made pet rocks for their pet rocks as a part of our Science unit on rocks and other parts of the Earth.

Mr. Young's reply

Dear Lynda (Mrs. Young)

This afternoon around 10 minutes to four I received a call from the

reception to tell me there was an envelope for me and she was closing the

office at 4. If I wanted it tonight could I pick it up before 4. I did so.

What a heartwarming surprise I received when I opened the envelope. It is

without a doubt one of the most emotional happenings I have experienced

since serving in the army.It is hard for me to accept all the accolades

poured forth from these students. Such a large body of volunteers are no

longer able to read the comments as they have paid the supreme sacrifice and

I feel guilty receiving them because I was lucky enough to survive. I can

only express my thanks for the thoughtfulness of these students to express

their feelings, so well put together in pictures, poems and comments - which

touched me very deeply. On behalf of all those who had their life snuffed

out fighting for what they believed in - freedom - please convey my

personal thanks to the students who prepared this presentation which was

delivered to me to-day. Their thoughts give me hope that the future is in

good hands, and that I spent almost five years of my life on a worthwhile

effort to make this world a better place for generations to come.

Real or Fake Websites

A lot of what we find on the internet is true. A lot of it, however is not necessarily true, even though we might think it is... Be a critical thinker.

Look at these 2 websites, decide for yourself and then discuss with your neighbour.

Are they both real? Is either one real? Use some evidence to support your thoughts.

#2 http://www.thedogisland.com/photos.html (dog island)

When done, you can click on the link at the right titled Life- it has photos that are either Real or Fake. You decide.
