Advanced MS PUBLISHER (Large Poster)
For this unit, you will apply the knowledge you learned in the Basic MS Word Module to create an informational, educational, promotional, or motivational booklet to serve the needs of your lesson plan / teaching. Your task is to use MS Word's booklet feature to create an instructional material in the booklet format. You will learn how to set up a document in booklet format. You will also utilize the "Table of Contents" function to organize the contents in your booklet.
Before we begin, if you haven't done so, spend sometime reviewing the overview videos about Microsoft Word, Excel, Publisher, and PowerPoint. This will help you familiarize yourself with the software interface and how to navigate around. Pay close attention to how you can access and navigate the software features and functionalities.
