Capstone Project 1: Hammonds County Dog Park

The Capstone Project consists of an integrated, comprehensive set of problems related to a single scenario. Students apply concepts and skills presented in this book to create solutions to the problems using Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access, and Outlook.

Rescue Pets Animal Shelter, which is located in Hammonds County in Florida, received a donation of land for a county dog park, to be called the Hammonds County Dog Park. The donation stipulated that the animal shelter must raise the necessary funds to build and maintain the dog park without using government funding. The board of directors for Rescue Pets already has a strategic plan and a master design for the dog park that builds the park in phases. Funding for Phase 1 is almost completed, and pet owners are eager to begin using the park. Not only will the park be a place where dogs can run off leash, but there is enough space for a small educational building. The animal shelter can use the dog park and building to provide obedience training and classes on pet care to children and adults. To raise funds to complete the dog park, the animal shelter put together a committee of interested and committed individuals to run a fundraising campaign. The campaign's theme is Together we can make it happen! The committee holds fundraisers, solicits donations from businesses and individuals, and applies for foundation grants. Because you have a job at the animal shelter helping with community involvement and public relations, you have been providing support to the committee.

Creating a One-Page Flyer with a Picture and a Table

Problem: The dog park committee has organized a Pet Party in the Park fundraiser and has asked you to create a flyer for distribution to the community.

Instructions Part 1: Create a blank document and change the theme colors to Red Orange. Use the default font of Calibri Body but change the font size to 12. Enter the text and table of the flyer and modify the text and table as shown in Figure 1-1 . Locate the clip art by searching for the text, pet, in the Office.com clip art search box. Check the spelling of your document. Save the document using the file name, Capstone 1 Flyer.

Instructions Part 2: The committee is pleased with your flyer, but the committee chair does have some changes for you. Move the ‘Strut your mutt’ bullet so that it is the second bullet in the list. Delete the second sentence in the paragraph following the bulleted list. In the same paragraph, increase the font size for the text, 20%, to 14. Center this paragraph. Center the table and adjust the columns to fit the table contents. Move the clip art to the right side of the table title, and set it to tight text wrap. Left-align the paragraph immediately under the table. Delete the tab stop at the 4-inch mark, and use a semicolon between the phone number and volunteer activity. Change the custom tab stops for the volunteer list so that the text is more evenly aligned across the page. Mary Jones cannot coordinate the children's activities. Her daughter, Jackie Jones, has agreed to do it. Search for and replace Mary's name with

Jackie's. Finally, use the Thesaurus to find a synonym to replace the word, donations, in the first paragraph, and check the spelling again. If requested by your instructor, change Pat Sinz's name to your name. Save the flyer again with the same file name. Submit the document in the format specified by your instructor.

On Slide 1, resize and move the title placeholder to the position shown in Figure 1-3(a). Bold the subtitle, change the font size to 36, and apply the Text Shadow effect.

On Slide 2, shown in Figure 1-3(b), enter the text in the left placeholder and add the title in the top placeholder. In the right placeholder, locate the clip art by searching for the text, dog, in the Office.com clip art search box.

To more specifically target local businesses, the chair wants to emphasize the community benefits of a dog park. Duplicate Slide 3, and move Slide 3 so that it becomes Slide 2. On the new Slide 4, delete the arrow shape and text. Change the slide layout to Title and Content. Search for the word, community, in the Office.com clip art search box and insert the picture shown in Figure 1-4. Increase the size of the clip

If requested by your instructor, add another bullet with your first and last name. Change the font size of the title to 40 point.

Save the presentation again using the same name and submit the assignment in the format specified by your instructor.
