  • Paginating a Multi-Sectioned Document: Key Points
    Benedda Konvicka 1 Paginating a Multi-Sectioned Document: Key Points If you have ever tried to change the page numbering system or remove an unwanted page number on your cover, you know that MS Word will apparently do everything possible to thwart your efforts. Microsoft Word is not possessed. It may make the uninitiated FEEL like it is possessed, but all you need to know is the secret “uh-handshake.” Before you insert your page numbers, first make this one magic move: You must click in the headers and footer of EACK SEPERATE section of your document looking for the words “Same as Previous.” PHYSICALLY DISCONNECT THIS LINK. Be sure you understand these points: 1. The difference in a page break and a section break 2. How to disconnect headers and footers between sections For this lesson, we are going to make these assumptions: 1. You already have a document with body/back matter 2. You have already created pages for your Cover, for you Table of Contents, for your List of Figures, and for your Executive Summary. 3. You have separated your Cover from your Front Matter by using a Section Break > Next Page. 4. You have separated your three Front Matter pages ONLY with page breaks. 5. And you have separated your Front Matter from your Body/Back Matter by using a Section Break > Next Page. Now, the task that faces you is that you need to achieve these results: 1. You want your Cover to have no page number at all. It is not part of your document.

  • COURSE TITLE Desktop Publishing
    COURSE TITLE Desktop Publishing LENGTH One Semester Grades 10 – 12 DEPARTMENT Business Education Barbara O’Donnell, Supervisor SCHOOL Rutherford High School DATE Spring 2017 DESKTOP PUBLISHING I. Introduction/Overview/Philosophy Desktop Publishing is a term used to describe an exciting development in computer applications that combines a computer, software, a scanner, a digital camera, the Internet, a laser printer, and a color printer into a stand- alone publishing system. This course will begin with a brief explanation of the publishing and printing process—the terminology, the history, the jobs, the hardware and the software. Desktop Publishing will be introduced as an application of computer technology to an old, established process. Elements of attractive page layout, color and design will be stressed. Desktop Publishing software will be used to develop a set of publishing projects that begin with simple drawings, announcements and magazine covers and increase in complexity to multi-page documents such as menus, newsletters, tri-fold brochures, a business proposal and a school newspaper. The course is designed for the student who is interested in pursuing any career in the publishing, business or education fields, since most documents such as newsletters, brochures, invitations, and announcements are created and produced in-house, rather than by an outside print shop. II. Objectives Course Outline: A. Introduction to Desktop Publishing 1. Discuss the publishing and printing process a. Plan b. Design page c. Create content d. Page layout e. Print 2. Discuss history of Desktop Publishing B. Desktop Publishing Basics 1. Define advantages and disadvantages of using Desktop Publishing software 2. Discuss applications of Desktop Publishing 3.

VERSION Use PDF Version 1.4. PDF version 1.4 is for use with Adobe Acrobat 5.0 or higher1. No additional software should be needed to read and navigate the PDF files. FONTS Embed fonts. PDF viewing software automatically substitutes a font to display text if the font used to create the text is unavailable on the reviewer’s computer. In some cases, font substitution can occur even when the fonts are available. For example, Helvetica or Times are substituted even if available on the reviewer’s computer. Font substitution can affect a document’s appearance and structure, and in some cases it can affect the information conveyed by a document. Font availability is not guaranteed. Font availability to the reviewer is ensured if all fonts are embedded. When fonts are embedded, all characters for the font should be included not just a subset of the fonts being used in the document. Limit fonts to those listed in Table 1. Font embedding does not always solve the problems that occur when a reviewer tries to paste text from a PDF document into another software format. If the font is not available on the reviewer’s computer, font substitution results even if the fonts are embedded.

  • General Services Administration Acquisition Manual (Gsam)
    APD 2800.12B GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION ACQUISITION MANUAL (GSAM) U.S. GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (GSA) OFFICE OF ACQUISITION POLICY (OAP) GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION ACQUISITION MANUAL INTRODUCTION The General Services Administration Acquisition Manual (GSAM) consolidates the General Services Administration (GSA) agency acquisition rules and guidance. Distinguishing Regulatory Material The GSAM incorporates the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) as well as internal agency acquisition policy. GSAR material is shaded. The shading helps users to distinguish and identify those parts that are regulatory from those that apply internally to GSA. The shaded parts are those subject to section 22 of the Office Federal Procurement Policy Act, as amended (41 U.S.C. 418b). GSA must publish these rules in the Federal Register and codify them in 48 CFR Chapter 5 in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3051 et seq.) and the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The rules that require publi- cation fall into two major categories: (1) Those that affect GSA’s business partners (e.g., prospective offerors, contractors). (2) Those that apply to acquisition of leasehold interests in real property. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) does not apply to leasing actions. GSA establishes regulations for lease of real property under the authority of 40 U.S.C. 490 note. Separating regulatory material from internal directives decreases the number of rules subject to publication in the Federal Register. It also provides greater flexibility and responsiveness because an internal directive is easier and quicker to update or change. Addressed to the Contracting Officer Both the GSAR and GSAM address the contracting officer, except where specifically indicated.
