LEVEL 1 - BEGINNING WITH WORD PROCESSING


ACTIVITY 8 - Using CUT, PASTE and COLOUR with a Timeline.

Use CUT and PASTE to arrange a timeline in chronological order and COLOUR to distinguish between different types of events.

  • Download and Open the file 'Industrial Revolution Timeline' by right clicking here and selecting either 'Save Target As' or 'Save Link As'. Save the file in the c:\ directory. Start Word from your Windows Menu bar and Open the file you have just saved.
  • Use CUT and PASTE to arrange the events in the correct chronological order.
  • From the FORMAT menu, click on FONT and choose COLOUR to colour code the events in the list:
    • POLITICAL events can remain in BLACK
    • ECONOMIC events can become BLUE
    • SOCIAL events change to GREEN
    • CULTURAL events change to DARK MAGENTA.
  • Remember to Save your finished timeline onto your disk, in the same way as in Activity1.
