Future of Electricity
PREPARING A RESEARCH REPORT

GETTING STARTED
 Open the file SC_WD19_EOM2-2_FirstLastName_1.docx, available for download
from the SAM website.

 Save the file as SC_WD19_EOM2-2_FirstLastName_2.docx by changing the “1” to a

“2”.

o 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_EOM2-2_FirstLastName_2.docx still open, ensure that your

first and last name is displayed in the footer.

o If the footer does not display your name, delete the file and download a new copy
from the SAM website.

PROJECT STEPS
1. You are writing a research report on the future of electricity for your Introduction to
Economics class. You must write the paper in the MLA style and incorporate suggestions
from your instructor, Martin Kerr. Modify the Normal style by changing its font to Times
New Roman, the font size to 12 point, and the line spacing to double with no blank
space after paragraphs.

2. Apply the modified Normal style to the first four paragraphs in the document, from
"Erica Aloubi" to "14 April 2021".

3. Edit the header to enter Aloubi as the header text followed by a plain page number, and
then close the Header & Footer Tools.

4. Create a First Line indent of 0.5" for all the body paragraphs, beginning with "Recently,
three developments…" and ending with "…power to consumers."

5. Find the sentence "Electrification is the process of converting a machine or a system to

run on electrical power." After the period in that sentence, insert a footnote with the
following text:
It can also mean providing electricity to a state or region.

6. Modify the Footnote Text style by changing its font size to 12 point, the line spacing to
double, and the indentation to a 0.5" First Line indent.

7. In the third body paragraph, insert a citation to the existing Bingham source before the
period at the end of the sentence, "In a centralized energy system…and other devices."

8. On page 2, find the sentence "Digitalization means mechanizing business processes."

Replace the word "mechanizing" with a synonym that begins with the letter "a".

9. Reply to your instructor's comment attached to the same sentence with the following
text:
I added one.

10. In the same paragraph, edit the Geller citation to add 26 as the page number.

11. Read and then delete the comment attached to the sentence "Significant progress is
being made to provide electricity to the parts of the developing world that do not have
it." Before the period in that sentence, insert a citation to a new source using the
information shown in Figure 1. (Hint: The Tag name is intentionally blurred because it is
generated automatically.)

12. In the last body paragraph, before the period at the end of the sentence, "The rapidly
falling costs…with utility customers.", insert a citation placeholder using Moyes as the
name of the placeholder.

13. Delete the Briggs source from the Current List of sources.

14. Find all instances of the word "developments" in the document and use trends as the
replacement.

15. In the blank paragraph at the end of the document, use the Insert Bibliography
command to insert a list of sources without a built-in heading.

Your document should look like the Final Figure on the following pages. Save your changes, close
the document, and then exit Word. Follow the directions on the SAM website to submit your
completed project.
