If you do not see the .docx file extension in the Save As dialog box, do not type it. The program will add the file extension for you automatically.

With the file SC_WD19_CS1-3a_FirstLastName_2.docx still open, ensure that your first and last name is displayed in the footer.
If the footer does not display your name, delete the file and download a new copy from the SAM website.
PROJECT STEPS
You are an associate consultant for Devon & Company, a major consulting firm located in Montreal, Canada, and are completing a report for a client on trends in grocery stores. At the bottom of page 1, align the tops of the “Analysis” and “Direction” pictures with the top of the “Insight” picture.
Change the theme colors to Green to coordinate with the company logo.
Add a shape to balance the page as follows:
Near the bottom of page 1, insert a Rectangle from the Rectangles section of the Shapes gallery.
Bring the “Insight”, “Analysis”, and “Direction” pictures to the front.
Resize the new rectangle to a height of 1″ and a width of 6.5″.
Apply the Subtle Effect – Dark Teal, Accent 4 shape style to the rectangle.
Remove the outline from the rectangle.
Drag the rectangle so that its top edge is flush with the bottom edge of the “Trends Analysis” green rectangle on the page and its left and right edges are aligned with the other objects, as shown in Figure 1.

After the period at the end of the sentence, insert a footnote with the following text: Small producers are those ranked below the top 100 producers.
On page 3, format the picture of the grocery store as follows to improve its appearance:
Flip the picture vertically so that it appears with the correct orientation.
Resize the picture to a width of 6″.
Format the paragraphs in the “Online Grocery Shopping” section as follows:
Create a bulleted list beginning with the paragraph “Add online shopping and delivery services.” and ending with the paragraph “In-house farmers markets”.
Increase the indent of the paragraphs “Fresh and prepared foods”, “Specialty and local brands”, “Cooking demonstrations”, and “In-house farmers markets” by one level.
Draw and format a text box as follows to include a quotation about online grocery shopping:
Draw a text box to the right of the paragraph “While investing…realm of grocery store offerings.” in the “Online Grocery Shopping” section.
Resize the text box to a height of 1.6″ and a width of 2.5″.
Position the text box using the Bottom Right with Square Text Wrapping option.

Apply the Colored Outline, Green, Accent 1 shape style to the text box.
Apply the Offset: Center shadow from the Outer section of the Shadow Shape Effects gallery.
On page 4, copy the formatting from the text “Dining” to the text “Payment services” to use consistent font formats in the “In-Store Experiences” section.
Insert a Continuous section break in each of the following locations on page 4 to prepare for inserting columns and balancing them:
At the beginning of the paragraph “Along with addressing…physical stores.”
At the beginning of the “Subscription Meal Kits” heading paragraph
Format the section you created (beginning “Along with addressing…” and ending “…particular product traveled.”) into two columns.
Format the picture of the meal kit as follows to improve its layout on the page:
Add a border to the picture of the meal kit using the Green, Accent 1 border color.
Position the picture so that all the body text in the “Subscription Meal Kits” section appears to the right of the picture and the heading “Subscription Meal Kits” appears above it.
Change the text wrapping to Tight.
Format the table on page 4 in the “Research” section as follows to make it easier to interpret and to match the formatting of the other tables in the document:
Sort the table in descending order based on the numbers in the Percentage (%) column, noting that the table has a header row.
AutoFit the table to the window.
Merge the cells in the first column.
Change the direction of the text in the merged cell so that it reads from bottom to top.
Resize the merged cell to a width of 1.2″.

In the blank cell of the second table on page 5 (cell B6), insert a formula that sums the values above the cell.
Apply 36 point spacing before the paragraph beginning “For more survey results…” to separate the paragraph from the rest of the document.
At the end of the “For more survey results…” paragraph, enter info@devon.cengage.com and press SPACEBAR to format the email address as a hyperlink.
In the last paragraph in the document (“Devon & Company…devon.cengage.com”), replace the text “[insert square bullet]” with a filled square symbol (Wingdings: 110) from the Symbol gallery.
In the same paragraph, remove the hyperlink from the web address “devon.cengage.com” to format it as regular text.
Add Outside Borders to the last three paragraphs in the document (beginning “For more survey results…” and ending “Devon & Company…devon.cengage.com”), and then change the border color to Dark Green, Text 2, Darker 25% to separate the paragraphs from the rest of the document.
Find all instances of the word “shops” and replace it with the word stores to use the correct term.
Check the Spelling & Grammar in the document to identify and correct any spelling errors. (Hint: Ignore names and grammar suggestions.)
