Foreign Font and Embedding
This Assignment has 3 parts as outlined below:
  • PART ONE: Take the text and format I have below and place it in a word document.
    Your basic format will be an introduction at the top of the page in a 1 column wide section that uses the full width of the page. A center section of the document that has 2 columns that take up the width of the page where one contains text and the other has room for a graph and the last section of the page where you will insert a dynamically linked excel spreadsheet.

    Your text will look like the image but here is the content:
    In the Header --
    Klingon High Council Directive 004-35

    New Directive on First Contact

    The following directive is the Klingon high council instructions on how to approach new civilizations in previously uncharted areas of space. All commanders are expected to adhere to this directive or face the consequences.

    Our scientist have compiled a database of long term results based on the initial contact with a new species. In the chart and accompanying data shown below you can see that we have a better chance of retaining the civilizations infrastructure during conquest if we apply certain approaches.
    The customary land and destroy the tactical communications approach has lead to extensive loss of the infrastructure of the area being annexed. We have discovered that the degree in which we use social engineering to convert the society to the Klingon way of thinking is critical in the ability to turn the area into a working military installation for future missions. As the data and chart show, it is in our best interest to use this methodology. Space for a graph
    Space for an external Excel Table

  • PART TWO: Since this is not an Excel class, I have created a simple Excel file for you to use. You can download it here

    Make sure both your word document and this spreadsheet are in the same folder. Once they are follow these instructions:
    • Select the bottom section of your document and insert an Excel worksheet from a file. When you are asked to browse for a file find and select the file you just downloaded.
    • Crop and reposition the spreadsheet insert if necessary to look similar to the image to the left. All the columns should be visible (4 columns).
    • Open the Excel workbook, open the second tab (spreadsheet), select the graph and copy it to the clipboard.
    • Select the right side of the center section of your document and paste the graph on the clipboard. Adjust it to look similar to the image to the left.

  • PART THREE: Lets do some foreign font work

    Locate the Klingon Font set (hint: look at my links page) and load it on your computer. Once loaded, convert your entire document to Klingon. I am using Klingon here because it is not a native font and I wanted the assignment to be fun. If you really do not want to use Klingon I will allow you to use another non-native font. One that is not on your computer when you start this project.

    Here are the steps:
    • Download you new font, and if necessary unzip it
    • Copy your new font to C:/Windows/Fonts (I may need to verify this location if you are on Windows 8)
    • Restart Word, Select your text, and apply your new Font
