I have your book and when I get to Chapter 3 page 54 I don't undestand how to get this look (blue instructions). Do I start with new word page and type everything and try to make it look like the page or do I do control shift N to change the document to normal and then try to do the instructions. I also don't understand the 2-part page, side by side layout. I know I just don't get something simple. I love all your web casts. Plase help.

Hi, Karen,

Thanks for your post - and for watching the webcasts :)

The purpose of the sample documents throughout the book is to give you examples and ideas.

If you'd like to follow the instructions and create this document for yourself, start by generating a new portrait orientation MODD report\presentation document. Use the design "Tried and True Navy Blue" - it's the closest to this document (might require a bit of customizing of styles).

The new document generates with a cover page you don't need for the exercise and the first report page. Use the first report page that automatically generated to start your page -- take note of the styles used for the headings ont he page, so that you can replicate them for additional pages. Type the headings as you see them on the page and then insert the 2-Part Page, side-by-side layout indicated in the instructions.

At this point the instructions should be easy to follow. Let me know if you need more help...

... and keep in mind that you can always copy the text from the completed sample document if you want to recreate the page without spending time typing :)

Have a great day!

Stephanie
