One of your duties as the program assistant in the Business Department at Langton Community College in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is to help the director develop and format proposals made to the College administration to fund the purchase of equipment and software. The director has written the draft of a proposal and asks you to add additional material and modify the structure of the proposal, and then format it attractively for presentation to the College’s Dean of Operations.

Follow the steps below to add content to a proposal and then format it.

1. Open the file Practice_08.docx located in the Project.08 folder included with your Data Files and then, to avoid altering the original file, save the document as Software Upgrade Proposal in the same folder.

2. Scroll to page 2, and then read the proposal to gain an understanding of the proposal purpose and scope.

3. Switch to Outline view, add Description of Need as a Level 2 heading under the Introduction paragraph, and then use the information shown below to write two or three sentences to describe why students in the Business Department require new software:

a. Most colleges have already upgraded to the latest version of Windows.

b. Students in the Business Department at Langton Community College need to learn the latest software in order to be competitive in the workplace.

4. Make Work Schedule in the Upgrading Activities section a Level 2 heading.

5. Collapse all the headings to Level 2, and then move the Student Workers heading below the Work Schedule heading.

6. Show all levels of the outline, switch to Print Layout view, and then insert a page break between the title page and the first page of the proposal text.

7. Type Table of Contents at the top of the new second page, center the text, and then enhance it with 16 pt and Bold.

8. Two lines below the title, generate a table of contents using the Distinctive format.

9. Use [Ctrl] + click to navigate to Benefits, switch to Outline view, delete Benefits and its subtext, return to Print Layout view, and then update the table of contents.

10. Replace the two manual page breaks in the document with Next Page section breaks.

11. Format headers, footers, and page numbers for the document as follows:

a. Section 1: no header, footer, or page number

b. Section 2: footer with your name at the left margin and the page number formatted as i at the right margin

c. Section 3: header with Software Upgrade Proposal centered and bolded, and footer with your name at the left margin and the page number formatted in the 1, 2, 3 style at the right margin and starting on page 1.

12. Scroll through the document and where needed keep related text and headings together, update the table of contents, type your name where indicated in the title page, save the document, print a copy, and then close it.
