Project 5
Directions for
Creating a Newspaper

Goal: To create a Newspaper in a Word Processing document with four articles (70 words in length) and four different pictures to go with the articles. You may decide the topics of your articles

5. Go to Insert: Picture: Clip Art to search for a picture.

1. Go to View: Header and Footer. Click on Center and then type in the title of your newspaper. Touch return and then type in your name. Click on Close.

6. Touch the picture you want one time to make it appear or insert onto your Word document.

2. Go to Format: Columns. Choose 2 columns and click O.K.

7. Re-size your graphic by dragging the boxed corners of the image so that it is smaller or less than the width of your article.

3. Center all titles of your articles (*Note - go back to Left Alignment after you center your title.)

8. Double click on your graphic and click on Layout. Select Tight and click O.K. - this will give you an appearance of text wrapping.

4. While typing your articles remember the following:

  • Indent each paragraph 5 spaces
  • Begin sentences with CAPITAL Letters
  • Use correct ending punctuation
  • For each article, insert a graphic object

9. Go to Tools: Spelling and Grammar to edit your writing and fix-up your articles.

10. Before you print, proofread your articles to make sure that your writing is clear and makes sense!
