PROJECT STEPS
- You are writing a research report on the future of electricity for your Introduction
to Economics class. You must write the paper in the MLA style and incorporate
suggestions from your instructor, Martin Kerr. Modify the Normal style by
changing its font to Times New Roman, the font size to 12 point, and the line
spacing to double with no blank space after paragraphs. - Apply the modified Normal style to the first four paragraphs in the document,
from “Erica Aloubi” to “14 April 2021”. - Edit the header to enter Aloubi as the header text followed by a page number
with Right alignment, and then close the Header & Footer tab. - Create a First Line indent of 0.5″ for all the body paragraphs, beginning with
“Recently, three developments…” and ending with “…power to consumers.” - Find the sentence “Electrification is the process of converting a machine or a
system to run on electrical power.” After the period in that sentence, insert a
footnote with the following text: It can also mean providing electricity to a
state or region. - Modify the Footnote Text style by changing its font size to 12 point, the line
spacing to double, and the indentation to a 0.5″ First Line indent. - In the third body paragraph, insert a citation to the existing Bingham source
before the period at the end of the sentence, “In a centralized energy system…
and other devices.” - On page 2, find the sentence “Digitalization means mechanizing business
processes.” Replace the word “mechanizing” with a synonym that begins with
the letter “a”. - Reply to your instructor’s comment attached to the same sentence with the
following text: I added one. - In the same paragraph, edit the Geller citation to add 26 as the page number.
- Read and then delete the comment attached to the sentence “Significant
progress is being made to provide electricity to the parts of the developing
world that do not have it.” Before the period in that sentence, insert a citation to
a new source using the information shown in Figure 1. (Hint: The Type of Source
field is intentionally blurred because it is generated automatically.)
Figure 1: Web Site Source
- Delete the Briggs source from the Current List of sources.
- Find all instances of the word “developments” in the document and use trends
as the replacement. (Hint: Find and replace can be located by clicking on the
“Reviewing” button in the Review ribbon.”) - In the blank paragraph at the end of the document, use the Insert Bibliography
command to insert a list of Works Cited.
