TWO SIMPLE TASKS….FIRST YOU WILL CREATE A MEMO…THEN YOU WILL EDIT A NEWSLETTER WHICH IS ATTACHED…THERE SHOULD BE TWO ATTACHMENTS ONCE COMPLETE

TASK 1:

For this assignment, you will create and format a business memo. Follow the directions, then submit your assignment. If you get stuck on a step, review this module and ask your classmates for help in the discussion forum.

Memo Text

To: All Employees
From: Sierra Rowan, Store Manager
Date: September 1, 2019
Subject: New Shelves
Some of you may have noticed in recent weeks that the shelves in the home goods section are beginning to sag. We will be replacing those shelves with new, reinforced metal shelves starting next week. The shelves will be replaced 1:00–4:00 a.m., during our least busy hours. Several aisles will be off-limits to customers during that time as a safety precaution.
The following aisles will be affected:
Kitchen appliances
Kitchen & dining furniture
Kitchen storage
Home goods clearance
Please direct customers looking for items in the affected aisles to the Outdoor Furniture and Patio Accessories areas.

Memo Directions

1. Create a new blank document in Microsoft Word.
2. Copy and paste the Memo Text (see above) into your Word document.
   
3. Save the document to the Rowan folder on your desktop as BA132_LastName_Memo.docx, replacing “LastName” with your own last name. (Example: BA132_Hywater_Memo) It is a good idea to save your work periodically.
   
4. Change the font of all the text to Arial, size 14.
   
5. Select the first three lines of the memo (To through Date lines). Remove the spacing after the paragraphs or set the After paragraph spacing to 0.
