New Perspectives Word 2013
Tutorial 10: SAM Project 1a
Commonwealth Research
COMPLETING A MASTER DOCUMENT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Commonwealth Research is a company in Revere, Massachusetts, founded by Evan Reich to help New England universities sell their research to technology firms in the United States. Commonwealth Research has been in business for a few months and is looking for investors to fund its growth. Evan has started to write a business plan in a Word document, and each of his three partners has created a section to insert into the document. Evan has asked you to work with his document as the master document to complete the business plan. To do so, you will insert subdocuments; add section numbers, figure captions, and cross-references; and perform other tasks necessary when working with a long document.

GETTING STARTED
• Download the following file from the SAM website:
o NP_Word2013_T10_P1a_FirstLastName_1.docx
• Open the file you just downloaded and save it with the name:
o NP_Word2013_T10_P1a_FirstLastName_2.docx
o Hint: If you do not see the .docx file extension in the Save file dialog box, do not type it. Word will add the file extension for you automatically.
• To complete this Project, you will also need to download and save the following support files from the SAM website:
o support_NP_W13_T10_P1a_analysis.docx
o support_NP_W13_T10_P1a_background.docx
o support_NP_W13_T10_P1a_summary.docx
• With the file NP_Word2013_T10_P1a_FirstLastName_2.docx still open, ensure that your first and last name is displayed in the footer. If the footer does not display your name, delete the file and download a new copy from the SAM website.

PROJECT STEPS
1. Switch to Outline view. On the blank page before the "Index" heading (page 3), insert the following files (available for download from the SAM website) in this order as subdocuments:
a. support_NP_W13_T10_P1a_summary.docx
b. support_NP_W13_T10_P1a_background.docx
c. support_NP_W13_T10_P1a_analysis.docx
d. Next, unlink the three subdocuments so that they become part of the master document.
e. Close Outline view.
2. Change the style of the "Executive Summary" heading so it uses a numbering style that shows a number followed by the heading text. Modify the heading numbers to add a period after each heading number. Update the Heading 1 style to include the numbering.
3. On page 5, replace the placeholder text "[INSERT FIGURE]" with a Clustered Column chart using the data in the table titled "Data for Chart". Exclude the unused table columns C and D.
4. Format the chart as follows:
a. Remove the chart title.
b. Remove the chart legend.
c. Change the chart style to Style 2.
d. Change the width of the chart object to 5", keeping the height at 3.5".
5. Delete the "Data for Chart" paragraph, the table containing the chart data, and the blank paragraph after the table.
6. Add captions below the Clustered Column chart you added in Step 3 and below the last chart in the document. Use the label Figure followed by a number in the captions, and add a space and then the descriptive text as shown in bold in Table 1 below.

Table 1: Descriptive Text for Figure Captions________________________________________



Figure Descriptive Text

Figure 3 (new column chart) Product licenses
Figure 6 (last chart) Projected sales in Year 1

7. Add cross-references where indicated to Figure 3 and Figure 6. Use only the label and number in the cross-reference.
8. In the first paragraph below the "2. Background" heading, replace the hyphen in "technology-transfer" with a nonbreaking hyphen.
9. In the first paragraph below the "1. Executive Summary" heading, replace the space between "100" and "percent" with a nonbreaking space.
10. Below the "List of Figures" heading, insert a table of all the figures in the document using the default settings.
11. Add a Next Page section break before the "Contents" heading so that the title page is the only page in Section 1. Keep the Next Page section break you just created and the Next Page section break after the table of figures, but delete all the other section breaks in the document. Delete the page break on page 9, and then delete the extra paragraph marks before the "Index" heading. (Hint: Do not delete any page breaks other than the one on page 9.)
12. Center the text on the title page vertically.
13. Insert a blank header in the document, and then insert page numbers as follows:
a. Insert the Plain Number 3 style page number at the top of each page.
b. Remove the page number on the title page.
c. Set the page numbering of Sections 1 and 2 (the front matter) to lowercase Roman numerals, with page i starting on the "Contents" page.
d. Start Arabic numeral numbering with page 1 on the "1. Executive Summary" page.
14. Create an index with entries as follows:
a. Mark entries for every occurrence of the words "patent", "technology", and "contracts".
b. Mark entries for every occurrence of the words "university research" so that the main entry is "research" and the subentry is "university".
c. Mark entries for every occurrence of the words "research budget" so that the main entry is "research" and the subentry is "budget".
d. Find the word "revenue", and then mark it as an index entry with a cross-reference to "contracts".
e. Hide formatting marks.
15. Below the "Index" heading on the last page of the document, compile the index using the default settings.
16. Update all of the fields in the document, including the table of contents on the "Contents" page, the table of figures on the "List of Figures" page, the figure captions, and the cross-references.
Your document should look like the Final Figure on the following pages. Save your changes, close the document, and exit Word. Follow the directions on the SAM website to submit your completed project.
