Overview
This lecture covers step-by-step solutions for Question 1 (Word Processing) of the Grade 12 CAT Paper 1 exam, including document setup, formatting, cross-referencing, footnotes, tables, lists, page numbering, and watermark tasks.
Setting Up Data Files and Document Properties
- Extract data files from the provided .exe using the exam paper's password: capital N, hash 24, and @ symbol.
- Rename the extracted folder to your examination folder for organization.
- Edit the document's author property to display your examination number.
Formatting Styles and Effects
- Modify the 'solar' style’s shadow effect to any blue color and set shadow distance to 50 points from the text.
Paragraph and Page Formatting
- Set the heading, paragraph, and image for "solar system" to always remain together using 'Keep with next' in paragraph settings.
- Add automatic page numbering in the footer as "Page X of Y": odd pages left-aligned, even pages right-aligned, using "different odd and even pages" option.
Referencing and Notes
- Insert a cross-reference on the specified text to the 'Venus' bookmark.
- Add an endnote (using ABC format) for the word "NASA," with "America" as the note text.
Image and Caption Formatting
- Edit the image below "Planets" heading to have a 3 pt dashed black border.
- Insert a caption for the image with the new label "space" and text "planets:".
Tables and Lists
- Convert the specified text under "differences between" to a table with 2 columns and 6 rows, and apply a 'List Table' style.
- Format the multi-level list from "1 Mercury" to "14 known moons" so that level 2 uses a diamond-shaped bullet. Ensure all items match example formatting.
Watermark
- Insert the "one black" image as a watermark on the last page only by creating a section break and unlinking section headers/footers as needed.
