(Styles are not covered in the lab work. Please refer to the online help). Create the following
styles to be used in this document:
Style Name Style Type Style Based On Change Formatting
Blue Font 14pts, All caps, 1.5 Line
MyHeading1 Paragraph Heading 1
Spacing
MyHeading2 Paragraph Heading 2 Purple Font 12pts

2. In the line above the first line, “When programmers design a solution…” enter the heading
“Introduction” (without quotes) and format this heading using MyHeading1 style.
3. In the line above “When programmers are required to design…” enter the heading “Control
Structures” (without quotes) and format this heading using MyHeading1 style.
4. Format the subheadings “Sequence Control Structure”, “Selection Control Structure” and
“Repetition Control Structure” using MyHeading2 style.
5. Format the rest of the text using the Normal Style (Times New Roman 12pts).
6. Using a break type, separate Introduction and Control Structures into different pages.
7. Under Sequence Control Structure, after the last line, “Examples of actions…” insert an image
“sequence.jpg”. [Use the Screenshot tool in Word to do this]
8. The graphic inserted is inline, that is, part of the current paragraph. This will not allow you to
move the graphic around. The graphic needs to be a floating graphic instead of an inline graphic.
Convert the image inserted to floating graphic.
9. Resize “sequence.jpg” to 60% (have “Lock aspect ratio” and “Relative to original picture size”
checked). Set Horizontal alignment to Center.
10. Under Selection Control Structure, after the line, “Two common types of selection control
structures…” insert the image “selection.jpg”. [Use the Screenshot tool in Word to do this]
Resize image to 53%. Convert image to floating graphic with the following properties:

12. Under Repetition Control Structure, after the line, “This program stops looping when…” insert
the image “dountil.jpg”. [Use the Screenshot tool in Word to do this] Resize image to 55%.
Convert image to floating graphic with the following properties:
• Text Wrapping - Square
• Picture Position – Horizontal: Absolute position 0.02” to the right of Column, Vertical:
Absolute position 0.16” below Paragraph.
13. Read the online help on adding captions to graphics and on creating cross-references.
14. Select the following figures and add the following captions (without quotes) below the figures:
• sequence.jpg (Figure 1) – “: Sequence control structure.”
• selection.jpg (Figure 2) – “: If-then-else control structure.”
• dowhile.jpg (Figure 3) – “: Do-while control structure.”
• dountil.jpg (Figure 4) – “: Do-until control structure.”
15. Resize the caption textbox to fit the caption in one line below the figure. Convert the textbox
to a frame.
16. The cross-reference to a figure caption is inserted inside the empty parentheses found in the
paragraph just before the figure. For example, the cross-reference to Figure 1 will be inserted
inside the empty parentheses at the end of the first line (A sequence…in order ()) under
“Sequence Control Structure”. After inserting the cross-reference to Figure 1, the line will
change to “A sequence…in order (Figure 1).”
17. Find the following parentheses and insert the respective cross-reference to captions (have
“Insert as hyperlink” checked):
• “…in order ()” – cross-reference to Figure 1.
• “…diamond symbol ()” – cross-reference to Figure 2.
• “…is true ()” – cross-reference to Figure 3.
• “…the loop ()” – cross-reference to Figure 4.
The cross-reference shows only the word Figure and the figure number (e.g. Figure 1).
18. Read the online help on marking index entries.
19. Mark these words/phrases as index entries: control structure, construct, sequence control
structure, selection control structure, if-then-else control structure, case control structure,
repetition control structure, loop, do-while control structure, and do-until control structure.
20. Now insert 2 new pages at the beginning of the document (before Introduction) and 2 new
pages at the end of the document. The first 2 pages will be the title page and the table of
contents, while the last 2 pages will be the table of figures and index.

check mark in the “Right align page numbers” check box, and change the number of columns
to 2. Verify the contents of the index. Hide formatting marks prior to building the index.
24. Build a table of contents for the document. Use your own format. Check on “Show page
numbers” and “Right align page numbers”. The table of contents page should not include the
headings on the title page and table of content page. The table of contents should also include
an Acknowledgement page (page 3) and Declaration page (page 4) as Title style with roman
numeral page number style (i and ii) or (I and II). The Page number 1 should begin from page 5.

PART B (4%)

Scenario:
As part of your Productivity Software class, you are to prepare an Electronic Fillable form version of the
SAS 04 form saved in the file named EFormSAS using the Word Processing Software.
What to do:
• Using the EFormSAS template file as a guide, design an Electronic Fillable version of the form
on a new document.
• Design your OWN version of the form (must be 80-90% similar to the original) using varying
Control tools.
• Set some limit to the amount of information a person can type into the Student ID Number field
on the top left of the form, Year, Block, Summester, Penster, Quarter, Trimester & Semester.
• Insert a drop-down list that restricts available choices to those fields you specify.
• Insert a check box where appropriate.
• Add instructional text to the form where applicable.
• Restrict how people edit or format specific parts of the fillable form. Protect your fillable form
with a password. Use your own ID Number as the password, omitting the letter ‘S’ from it.
• Save the electronic fillable form as CIN501_A1B_SXXXX.doc, where SXXXX stands for your
student ID number. Marks will be deducted for not adhering to the file naming convention
provided. This will be the file you will submit via the Moodle Drop Box.

What to submit:
There are two files that needs to be submitted, YYYY_A1A_SXXXX and YYYY_A1B_SXXXX. The file
should be named using the file naming convention specified at the beginning of each part.

LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

Plagiarism
Any kind of plagiarism or cheating like submission of work that is not your own will lead to a ZERO (0)
score AND you will be subject to disciplinary action. Discussing is permitted however you must avoid
giving your working copy or the final assignment file to anyone. This increases the risk of your
assignment being cited as a plagiarized work. For this course, plagiarism detection software will be
actively used to identify similar assignments. ALL detected assignments will receive a mark of ZERO and
will be referred to the disciplinary committee.

Assignment Clarification
It is expected that students will seek clarifications regarding this assignment. For any such clarification,
you may post a message on Moodle Discussion Forums under the Assignment 1 Discussions Topic only.
Any message relating to the Assignment placed under a different topic WILL NOT be looked at or
answered at the same time, please note that you are not allowed to share/discuss your Assignment on
these forums. Students must refrain from placing their assignments on the discussion forum. Students
found doing this will be referred to the Disciplinary committee and will also be awarded a mark of
ZERO.

Late Submission
The assignment drop box on Moodle will automatically close as soon as the due date and time has
passed. You will not be able to submit any assignment after the drop box closes. Assignments
submitted via the Discussion Board or through Email will not be considered and will receive a mark of
ZERO. The Student General Labs are not always open 24/7 so the trick is to start EARLY. Also when you
finish don’t hold on to your assignment till the last moment. Submit as soon as you are satisfied with
it. However, if there are situations beyond your control that may prevent you from submitting your
assignment on time, please inform the course coordinator as soon as possible BEFORE the assignment
due date. Explanations provided after the assignment due date will not be entertained nor accepted.

NOTE: Be mindful of those (doing the same unit) who might request the use of your USB/Laptop/PC for
some other reason; this opens a window for would-be ‘assignment scavengers’ to get hold of the
softcopy for your source code.
