Project Description:

As a class assignment, you are working with a research report related to decision making. You are finalizing the first draft and will submit it for your instructor's approval. In so doing, you edit and format text, include a table of contents and a cover page, design a table, and include citations and a Works Cited page.

By displaying nonprinting characters, you see such   indicators as page and section breaks, which are helpful when managing   document flow.
 

  Display nonprinting characters. Note that the document includes a blank first   page. Change the document theme to Retrospect and select Colors of Blue Warm.   Select all text in the document and change the font to Times New Roman. Click   the View tab and display the ruler.

Some   phrases, such as full names of people or publications, display more   attractively if they are not divided between lines, as is the case with the   name of the publication referenced in this paper. By including a Nonbreaking   Space, you ensure that the publication name will not be divided between   lines.
 

  Remove the word
why
from the second   sentence in the first body paragraph on page 2. Remove the space following   the word
Cognitive
in the last   sentence of the first body paragraph on page 2 and insert a Nonbreaking Space   symbol between
Cognitive
and
Creativity
.

4


Insert check mark bullets on the three single-line   paragraphs in the first body paragraph, beginning with
the irrationality of humans
and ending with t
he nature of well-being.
Reduce the indent to position bullets at   the left margin and ensure that each bulleted text begins with a capital   letter. Change the left and right margins to 1”.

5


In   Outline view, you can collapse headings to any level of detail and then   manage sections, perhaps dragging to rearrange them as you do in this step.
 

  Change to Outline View. Change the Show Level setting to Level 2. Drag
Stages of Prospect Theory
directly   below the heading
Prospect Theory
  so that it becomes the first sublevel in the
Prospect Theory
section. Close Outline View. Bold the bulleted   items on page 2.


5

 

6


Select all text in the document and adjust   paragraph spacing before and after to 0 pt. Double-space the document. Add a   first line indent of 0.5" to the first body paragraph on page 2   (beginning with
The study of behavioral   economics
). Center the title and subtitle (
Cognitive Creativity
and
An   Analysis
). Change the line spacing of the first line,
Cognitive Creativity
, to 1.0.

Text   that is formatted in a particular style adheres to the design requirements of   the style. To quickly change all text based on a particular style, or to   ensure that text that is typed in that style is formatted appropriately, you   can modify a style. By default, style settings are applied to the open   document only.
 

  Modify document properties to include
Parker Adams
as the author, removing any   existing author. Modify Heading 1 style to include a font of Times New Roman,   14 pt., Black, Text 1. Modify Heading 2 style to include a font of Times New   Roman, Black, Text 1. Changes in style should apply to the current document   only.

8


Tabbed text can, in some cases, be formatted and   worked with more easily if it is identified as a table. In this case,   arranging the tabbed text as a table enables you to apply a preset style and   to include an appropriate formula in a future step.
 

  Select the lines of tabbed text near the top of page 3 (beginning with
System 1
and ending with
0.39
) and convert the selection to a   table, accepting all default settings. Insert a row above the first row of   the new table, merge all cells, and type
Systems of Decision Making
. (Do not type the period.)   Center text in the first row.


7

 

9


Insert   a row below the first row. Split the cells in the row, adjusting the number   of columns shown in the dialog box to 4 and ensuring that
Merge cells before split
is selected.   Select the table and choose Distribute Columns on the Table Tools Layout tab   to align all columns.


3

 

10


Type the following text in row 2:

System   Theory

Characterized by

Percentage Employed

Probability Factor


2

 

11


Insert   a row at the end of the table and merge the first three cells on the new row.   Type
Average   Probability
in   the merged cell on the last row and center the text. In the last cell on the   last row, enter a formula to average the numbers in the column above. You do   not need to select a Number format.


6

 

12


Apply a table style of List Table 3 - Accent 1 (row   3, column 2 under List Tables). Deselect First Column in the Table Style   Options group to remove bold formatting from the first column. Bold text on   the second row. Select the table and change all font to 10 pt. size. Center   all text in rows 2, 3, and 4. Center the numeric value in the last cell on   the last row.


5

 

13


Add a   caption below the table with the text, Table 1
: Decision-Making Strategies
. (Do not type the period and be   sure to include a hyphen between
Decision   
and
Making
.) Change the   probability factor for System 1 (in row 3) to
0.62
. Update the field in the last cell on the last row   to reflect the change in probability.


5

 

14


Select rows 2, 3, and 4, click the Table Tools   Design tab and choose a Pen Color of Black, Text 1. Ensure that the line   style is a single line and the line weight is ½ pt. Apply the border   selection to All Borders.


2

 

15


A   footnote provides space for additional clarity or exposition on a statement   included in the document. Use a footnote if you want to provide additional   detail, but do not want to clutter the document text with that information.
 

  Click after the period that ends the last sentence in the first body   paragraph under
System Biases
  (ending in
economical solutions to   problems
). Insert a footnote with the text,
For more information on theory-induced   blindness, visit http://cognitivecreativity.com/theory.
(Include the period and be sure   to include a hyphen between
theory
and   
induced
.) Right-click the footnote   and modify the style to include Times New Roman 12 pt. font.

16


Shade the first two lines on page 2,
Cognitive Creativity
and
An Analysis
in Blue, Accent 2, Lighter   60% (row 3, column 6). Add a ½ pt. Box border, selecting color of Black, Text   1. Insert a DRAFT 1 watermark, colored Red (second column in Standard   Colors).


5

 

17


Click   before the
Cognitive Creativity
heading   at the top of page 2 (in the shaded area) and insert a page break. Click   before the new page break indicator on the newly inserted page 2 and insert a   table of contents, selecting Automatic Table 1.
 

  Mac users, select the Classic table of contents style.


5

 

18


Because you plan to format the first page   independently of the remaining pages, you insert a continuous section break   before the first page is inserted. Breaking a document into sections enables   you to format each section independently.
 

  Click before the table of contents title and insert a continuous section   break. Click before the page break indicator on the first page and insert   text from the file
Cover.docx
. Use   settings in the Page Setup dialog box to center the cover page vertically.   Ensure that the settings apply to the current section only.

An Analysis
on the Cover page. Insert

. Change the picture height to 1.5” and choose   Top and Bottom text wrapping. Apply an artistic effect of Paint Strokes to   the picture (row 2, column 2).

Cover pages typically do not include such items as   watermarks, headers, or footers. You ensure that the cover page in this   document is clear of such items.
 

  Add a right-aligned header. Type
Parker Adams
and include a space following the name. Insert a   page number in the current position, selecting the Plain Number option if   available. Ensure that the header does not show on the first page. The   watermark may be automatically removed from the first page as well. Click   before
Submitted by Parker Adams
at   the end of the document. Insert a right tab at 5.5”. Press TAB to align the   text at the right tab stop.

Change   the writing style to MLA. Click before the period ending the first sentence   in the paragraph under the
Decision   Systems
heading on page 3 (ending in
  and decisions are made
). Insert a citation, using the existing source of
Daniel Conner
. Edit the citation to   show page

and to suppress Author, Year, and Title).
