PROJECT STEPS
- As a certified fitness trainer in Charlotte, North Carolina, you have decided to
open your own studio to offer personal fitness training to interested clients. To
secure a loan to cover start-up costs, you are creating a business plan, which
banks require. The business plan summarizes the business, its expenses, and its
revenue, and must contain 1000 words or less.
On page 1, expand the character spacing of the paragraph “Overview” by 1.5
points to call attention to the heading. - Format the bulleted list in the “Mission and Objectives” section as follows to
make the list more logical and attractive:
a. Demote the four bulleted items after the “Attract members through
personalized fitness programs.” item (“Develop a creative…”, “Provide an
app…”, “Acquire at least…”, and “Increase membership…”) by one level.
b. Change the color of the bullets to Purple, Accent 1 for the two first-level
bulleted items (“Attract members…” and “Design an inviting…”). - Sort the four paragraphs describing workout types in the “Company Summary”
section (beginning “Flexibility exercise…” and ending “…running, and dancing.”)
in ascending order by paragraph. - On page 2, split and merge cells in the “Start-Up Summary” table and insert a
formula as follows to make the table easier to interpret:
a. Split the cell containing the text “Expense Type Amount” into 2 columns
and 1 row.
b. Insert a formula in cell C9 (the cell to the right of the “Total Expenses:”
cell) that sums the values above the cell.
c. Merge cells A2 to A8 (the cell containing “Estimates only” and the six
cells below it). - Format the “Start-Up Summary” table as follows to improve its appearance and
usefulness:
a. Change the top and bottom cell margins to 0.03 for all cells in the table.
b. Shade row 1 (the header row) using the Gold, Accent 5, Lighter 60%
shading color.
c. Change the direction of the “Estimates only” text so that it reads from
bottom to top.
d. Resize column C to fit the cell contents using AutoFit. - Format and sort the table in the “Year 1 Sales” section as follows to make the
table more useful as a reference and to coordinate with the “Start-Up Summary”
table:
a. Sort the table in descending order by the numbers in the “Total” column
without sorting the header row.
b. Change the color of all the table borders to Gold, Accent 5 to match the
color of the “Start-Up Summary” table.
c. Distribute the rows in the table.
d. Change the width of column D (the “Total” column) to 1.3″.
e. Align the dollar amounts in the “Total” column using Align Center Right. - Format the shaded “Contact Information” section at the bottom of page 2 as
follows to set it apart from the rest of the document:
a. Change the indentation of the two paragraphs (“Contact Information” and
“Contact Valentina Rivera…”) to a 0.5″ Left Indent.
b. Format the heading text “Contact Information” in Small caps to
distinguish it from other headings. - Update the field after the “Number of words:” text to accurately reflect the
number of words in the document. - Insert a Draft 2 watermark to emphasize that the document is being
developed. [Mac Hint: Insert a Text watermark using the Draft option. Change
the Transparency to 50%.] - Add a cover page as follows to create a professional opening page for the
document:
a. Insert the Slice (Dark) cover page.
b. Type Rivera Personal Training as the document title.
c. Type Business Plan as the document subtitle.
