Details

This activity is contained in one Microsoft Publisher file, EMWCRD.PUB.  For use on a network, this file should installed in a shared, read only directory on the server (Winnipeg School Division uses S:\2Student)

After launching Microsoft Publisher and opening the file, students are ready to work.  Be sure to have students save the file with a unique name in another drive.

To save the first time:
Click on File
Click on Save As
Type in a file name
Choose a drive (If you choose a:\ be sure there is a disk in the drive)
OK

Each "card" contains a graphic, student first name and e-mail address.

If a school logo is not available to replace those in the example, students can click on each logo and delete them by clicking on File, Delete Object. 

If a logo is available, it can be imported to replace those in the example.  Students may also create their own design/logo in Paint and import those.  The procedures for these two options will not be scripted here but are familiar to Microsoft Publisher
users. 

Those not comfortable with the software may instead elect to delete the logo  entirely.  Other options include using Word Art or a Text Box to type in the name of the school.  But the logo is not the important thing.  The first name and e-mail address are, though.

To change the first name, students should be directed to:
Click in the box "Your First Name"
Press the F8 key to highlight the text
Have the student type their first name
Press the F8 key to highlight the first name
Click on Edit
Click on Copy
Click in the "Your First Name" box on another card
Press the F8 key to hightlight the text
Click on Edit
Click on Copy (The student's first name will appear in the box)
Repeat the previous four steps until all the cards contain the student's first name.
Click in a box "########@wsd1.org"
Press the F8 key to highlight the text
Have the student type their complete e-mail address
Press the F8 key to highlight the first name
Click on Edit
Click on Copy
Click in the "########@wsd1.org" box on another card
Press the F8 key to hightlight the text
Click on Edit
Click on Copy (The student's complete e-mail address will appear in the box)
Repeat the previous four steps until all the cards contain the student's complet e-mail address.
