To: (425)-462-9673

Pages 61, 63, 74, 129: Miscellaneous Corrections
Page 61:

Delete first step 2 ("Press BACKSPACE to left align the insertion...")

Renumber steps appropriately.

Page 74:

Renumber step 6 to step 8.

Page 83: 01Review Renamed to P1Review
Page 83, Section "Open and Edit an Existing Document," Step 1:

Change: "01Review"

To: "P1Review"

Graphic Should Show All Pages in Portrait Layout
Page 103, Screen Capture:

The screen capture on page 103 should show all 4 pages in Portrait layout.

The second two pages are not changed to Landscape layout until the steps on page 104 are completed.

Page Numbering Steps Incomplete
The following two clarifications should be made to page 107 and page 108:

After performing the first set of steps on page 108, the page numbers might appear in the top right corner of each page instead of the bottom left corner of each page. This will happen if the "View header and footer information" step on page 107 was done before doing the steps on page 108.

Correction:

Page 107: Change solid triangle to a bold number 1 (below the "View header and footer information" heading).

Page 107: Add the following step 2 between the Tip and the "Creating Simple Alternating Footers" section heading:

Click the Close button on the Header and footer toolbar.

On page 108, the steps to create an alternating footer could be further clarified to ensure the first page omits the page number. The remaining document should be formatted with alternating footers.

Correction:

Add the following steps under "Create an alternating footer" after step 3:
 * 1) Make sure that the Different first page check box is checked.
 * 2) Click the Apply To down arrow, and then choose Whole Document from the list.

Not All Page Numbers Are Removed
The steps on pages 108-109 under the heading "Remove the existing page numbers" ask you to remove the existing page numbers from your document. However, these steps do not remove all of the page numbers on the odd- numbered pages.

Earlier on page 108, the text asks you to create an alternating footer. With an alternating footer in place, the page numbers must be deleted manually from both odd and even-numbered pages.

Workaround
On pages 108 & 109, perform the steps in the section titled "Remove the alternating footer option" before performing the steps in the section titled "Remove the existing page numbers."

Missing Step to Enter Text in Header
Step 5 at the top of page 109 asks you to close the Header and Footer toolbar. However, Step 1 under Enter text in the header assumes that the Header and Footer toolbar is present.

Correction:

Insert the following step before step 1 under Enter text in the header (and renumber the steps accordingly):
 * 1) On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
