Type a class test (Beginner level)
As an educator you need to type out a test paper. Your test will look attractive and professional, and will be easy to read. You could also save tests and re-use parts of them at a later stage. You will use Microsoft Word to achieve this.
By the end of this task you could achieve the following outcomes:
- Change the way your text looks
- Change the position of text on the page
- Use automatic numbering
- Use tabs
- Insert a simple table
- Insert a header or footer
- Insert page numbering
- Conduct a spell check
