Computers 7 Keyboard Shortcuts assignments

Hi Computers 7!  If you have missed today's class (or last class), here's your update on what we have been doing:

Last class - We completed an assignment called "Justification" where you practice using your keyboard shortcuts to justify your text left, centre, and right.  See me for the assignment sheet.

Today's class - We are working on an assignment called "Bold Underline Italics" in which you practice using those three keyboard shortcuts to type a document containing all 3 text styles.  This one is heavy on the typing (it's almost a full page).  See me for the assignment sheet.

When you are finished, please hand in your assignment to the Computers 7 folder (hand in instructions can be found in the left column of this blog..... yes..... look left.... you will see it!  Over there!  Under "How to hand in files").
