Scenario:
Your best friend and canoeing partner, Lawson Templeton is opening a business called First River Outfitter that
provides canoe and kayak rentals, guided float trips, and shuttle services to floaters and tourists who visit the
Buffalo National River near Ponca, Arkansas. Lawson wants you to work part-time as an office manager generating
documents for marketing, reporting and contracts because of your experience with Microsoft Office applications.
Preparation for the new business includes acquiring real estate and equipment, but it also demands the
development of marketing materials that generate new business. Your first project is to transform the rough draft
of a document about river distances, safety precautions, and rental fees into a professional-looking article. This
article will not only be posted on the First River Outfitters website, but also printed and mailed to customers after
hey book a trip or reserve a rental. Your training in Microsoft Word 2016 enables you to modify the document easily
and efficiently.
As the new office manager for the company called First River Outfitter, you must preview the document Lawson
drafted for use as a marketing brochure. You will proofread the current document and make modifications to
improve readability and the way the document looks in print.

INSERT A PAGE BREAK. When you open the file that contains information about the Buffalo River, you look
to see if paragraph breaks are in odd places, making the content difficult to read. When you find them, you insert
page breaks to improve readability.

1.1 Start Word. Open cab-hola-W11-buffalo, and save it as cab-hola-W11-buffalo-yourname. Word will
add .docx at the end of the filename automatically.
1.2 Click Show/Hide () in the Paragraph group on the Home tab. This toggle enables you to see exactly where the
paragraphs and other text break on each line and across pages.
1.3 Click to the left of the Glass, Trash, & Other Regulations paragraph title located at the bottom of page 2. It
would be best if the heading and each paragraph below the heading displays together on one page, so inserting
a hard return will move them all together.
1.4 Press Ctrl+Enter to insert a hard page break. The hard page break is marked as a Page Break. Now the
paragraph heading displays on the same page as the paragraph.

INSERT A PAGE NUMBER. The next step you take to improve readability of this document is the addition of
page numbers. If someone prints the document and the pages become scattered, he or she should be able to
use page numbers to reassemble it in the proper order.

2.1 Click the Insert tab. Click Page Number in the Header & Footer group, and then point to Bottom of Page.
Scroll down the gallery, and then click Thick Line, as shown below. A dark line and the page number display on
the bottom of each page. The Header & Footer Tools tab displays in the Ribbon area.

2.2 Click the Footer from Bottom arrow in the Position group until 0.3 displays. You make this modification to
enable the footer to rest closer to the bottom of the page and reduce the white space that displays. Reducing
this number is one way to utilize the paper more efficiently and display more text on a page. In the case of very
long documents, this can reduce the number of sheets of paper used for printing.
