1.) I am very familiar with using Microsoft Word. I have had to use it throughout my schooling and education up until now. I am familiar with using Word to write papers for all of my classes. I use Word to save articles offline. I usually will just copy and paste an article to Word. Also, I have research papers that i will write and use Word. I will copy and paste parts of an article offline. Since, I usually don't need the entire article or journal, I can just copy the parts that I do need. I have also had to save images to word and print them to decorate posterboards. I have had projects that have required me to create poster boards. Lastly, I use Word to type up letters to my friends. This was actually a long time ago when I mailed my friends letters. Now, I just keep in touch through email. My teachers use MS Word to type up letters that they send home to us. Also, Teachers can create note pages to print out and pass out to the students. Also, most of the time Teachers create their tests using MS Word. MS Word can be used for multiple actions in the classroom.
2.) I can use MS Word for almost everything. I really like learning about the Mail Merge feature. Even though it seems complex and intimidating, it really is a good feature to use. This feature will allow me to send out the same letter to multiple people. This feature will allow me to save alot of time on the computer. I also learned how to create flyers. Kim stayed after class and showed me the feature that allows you to select Templates that are already stored into the computer. MS Word allowed me to choose a flyer that I needed to type up "Lost Dog" notices! This saved me time because what I needed typed up was already stored into the computer. Thank you KIM.
3)I believe that I can use Word alot in my future. I plan on working with multiple clients and I will need to make case notes. I will use Word to keep my case notes organized and filed. I can also use "mail merge" to address important Confidentaility request forms. This way I can send out the same form to multiple clients. I will not have to type the same letter a million times. I can just type the letter once and inclde my mailing recipients in the program to change the address and heading.
