PROJECT STEPS
Exercise4Health specializes in creating personalized exercise plans that optimize health. You are tasked with crafting a presentation that describes the exercise plans offered by Exercise4Health. The business just received a trademark for its parent company, so you start by inserting the trademark symbol.
On Slide 1 (“Exercise4Health”), insert the registered trademark symbol ® after the word “HealthTeamZ” in the subtitle text box.
On Slide 2 (“Exercise4Health Philosophy”), to engage the reader, format the SmartArt as follows:
a. Change the color of the SmartArt graphic to Dark 2 Fill in the Primary Theme Colors of the Change Colors gallery.
b. Apply the Powder SmartArt style in the 3-D section of the SmartArt Styles gallery.
c. Change the phrase “Over-exercise” to Over exercise in the “Don’t” sub-bullet list.
1. On Slide 3 (“Exercise4Health Results”), to catch readers’ interest, create a table containing two columns and four rows using the data shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1: Data for the Table on Slide 3
