Exercise (Create a Header and Footer)

Open a new document and type the following text:

     Business letters are formal letters, usually written from one stranger to another with a particular purpose in mind. Personal letters, on the other hand, are casual letters written between friends or relatives and need not have a specific purpose. Oftentimes, personal letters are written just to say hello or ask how someone is doing.

     Just as you wouldn't write a business letter in order to tell a friend about your summer vacation, you wouldn't write a personal letter in order to request an application form from Brandon University or ACC.

     As you may already know, in order to write an effective business letter, you must choose your words carefully and follow a strict format. Writing good business letters is not something that comes naturally, but is something that you must learn to do.

• Request Letters (eg. Writing to a university or college in order to request an application form)
  

• Complaint/Request Letters (eg. Writing to your local cable company to complain about not getting the new channels you requested, while your friends and neighbours are getting them, and to request that something be done about it)

• Thank You Letters (eg. Writing to a potential employer to thank them for giving you a job interview)

Now do the following steps:
Click View on the menu bar.
Select Header and Footer.
Press the Tab key on your keyboard once and then type Business Letters.
Press the Tab key on your keyboard once and then click the Insert Date button on the Header and Footer toolbar.
Click the Switch Between Header and Footer  button on the Header and Footer toolbar.
