Prerequisite: Know how to save.
Understand drives & folders.
Know how to create a numbered list.
Know how to find a site on the Internet.
Know how to change fonts & size.

First you must have a picture you’ve saved.
It can be a scanned photo or picture you’ve drawn, a picture you saved from the Internet, or one you’ve created in the Paint program. We’ll use one from the Internet.

1. Get on the Internet and go to the Computer Lab page of our school site.
2. Go to the section about Printing.
3. Save the picture of the baseball player. To save it, right-click it and then click on "Save Picture As". Name this graphic file "player". Save it to the My Documents Folder.
4. Minimize the browser window.
5. Open Microsoft Word.
6. Title this document "Printing". Center the title. Choose any font.
7. Enter twice to allow space below the title. The body of your document should be aligned on the left.
8. Insert the picture of the baseball player. Do that by clicking "Insert" in the menu bar. Move your mouse down to "picture" then over to "from file" since we saved the picture as a file on our computer. Notice the other choices there before you click.
   At the top of the window that popped up find the drop down menu titled "Look In". Use the drop down menu to find C: and click it. Find "My Documents" in the list. Double click on "My Documents". Now you’re seeing a list of the files saved in the My Documents folder on this computer. Click once on the baseball player graphic file. We named it "player". You can see a preview of it on the right. Click the Insert button to insert it into your document.
9. Notice where the flashing insertion point is. Choose the Ariel font, size 14. Type this: "Cover all the bases before you print."
10. Let’s make it so that our text can begin at the top of the picture. Do that by right-clicking the picture. Then click on "Format Picture". Notice the tabs at the top of the window that popped up. Click the "Position" tab first. We need a check mark in the box beside "float over text". Now click the "Wrapping" tab at the top of the window. Notice the different styles available. We want to click on "tight" to make our text appear up close to the baseball player. Then click the ok button. The sentence you typed should be at the top of the baseball player and fairly close to him.
11. We want to continue typing below that sentence. Make sure the insertion point is now below your first sentence by clicking at the end of the sentence, then press Enter.
12. Click the "Numbering" button to create a numbered list. Beside number 1. Type "Spell Check". Enter to create the second item and type "Proofread". Enter to create the third item and type "Print Preview".
13. Go back and add a space between the first sentence and item number 1. Do that by clicking at the end of the "Cover all the bases…" sentence to place the insertion point there, and press Enter.
14. Notice how the text is not lined up, but following the curve of the picture.
15. Go back and make it so the text is lined up. Do that by right-clicking on the picture and clicking on "format picture". This time select the wrapping style, "Square". Then click the ok button.
16. Your text should be lined up now.
17. Click at the end of the last word you’ve typed and press Enter several times to get near the bottom of the page.
18. Type your name in the same Ariel font and size as your document. Use the right alignment.
19. Print. (Remember to follow the steps you just typed.)
