That should have turned off the vertical lines on
the right side of the table. If so,
save again! If not, hit undo (Control Z) and repeat this step. ·
Highlight only the very top cell on the right of the
table ·
Right click and select Borders
and Shading ·
Click the Apply To
drop down arrow on the lower right and select Cell · Click the Top line icon (right side of the window) ·
Click OK ·
That should have turned off the top line of the very
top cell on the right side of the table, leaving all of the other bottom
lines of the cell turned on. If so,
save again! If not, hit undo (Control Z) and repeat this step. Saving Options ·
Save as a Word document to a folder on your network
where students can access the file.
Have them open the file in Word and immediately do File – Save as
and save to their own folders. This
option will allow them to actually type the answers to the questions in the
form and save it. Students will
probably have to hold down the Control key
and then click on the hyperlinks to go to the web sites. If students don’t have network access, you
can copy the file to floppy disks (one for each student) and they can work
off the floppy disks. ·
Do File – Save as a web page and then save to your web
server or to a folder on your network where students can access the
file. When students go to the folder
and double click, the web browser will open.
Students can go to the web sites but will not be able to type their
answers in the form so you will probably have to print out copies and have
them write down the answers. This
option defeats the purpose of the response form but it is an option. |
