Create a worksheet (Beginner level)

As an educator, you will prepare attractive worksheets for your lessons. You will want to type the worksheet and save it electronically, so that you can print as many copies as you need and change the content for other classes. You will use Microsoft Word to achieve this.

By the end of this task you could achieve the following outcomes:

- Type and change the text
- Change the appearance of the text
- Place a picture
- Type a list
- Create a table
- Print the worksheet
- Save the worksheet
