Creating Your Own Project
We will begin by creating a new document in Microsoft Word. We’ll learn how to set up the document format for margins and line spacing, as well as make choices for font style and size. We’ll enter the opening elements of our letter: return address, date, recipient’s address, and a salutation. Next, we’ll add several paragraphs that establish credibility, explain the problem, and suggest how the problem might be resolved, before ending the letter with an appropriate closing. Finally, we’ll learn how to preview and print the letter, as well as how to prepare an envelope for mailing.
