Assignment to Submit for Grade

For this portion of the assignment, you will write your research paper on the topic you researched in Part 1 of this assignment using Word 2007.Format the content of your research paper according to the steps below. Note that words in italics indicate that the use of a command is required. Commands are found in tabs and ribbons. Start with a new, blank document. Your document will end up looking similar to the document created in the College-level Word Processing "In a Flash" video.

Open a new Word document and save it in Word 2007 format, using your FSU username as the file name. This is the portion of your email address to the left of the @ sign. For example, if your email address is kjb04c@garnet.acns.fsu.edu, you would save your file as kjb04c. Make sure in the "Save As Type" box, you select "Word Document (*.docx)". In the above example, the full filename would be "kjb04c.docx". This is Word 2007 format. (Mac users -- Word 2008 can save in the same format).
NOTE: If you choose "Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)", your file will be saved in what is called "Compatibility Mode". While this can be opened and viewed with Word 2007, it will not end up saving any formatting based on NEW features in Word 2007! Make sure to save in the latest format!
