Pg 89Briefly introduce which topics will be covered in this lesson so students are aware of the new skills they will learn. Remind students also that all the information is available in the book as a reference so they don’t need to commit anything to memory or take notes.
Pg 90Objective 3.1Remind students the number and types of paper sizes displayed depend on the Windows region locale, as well as the type of printer set up in the classroom (some printers may show more if they can handles items such as labels, cardboard, or envelopes).Provide examples of when you may need to change the paper size, such as sending a document to a branch in another part of the world that has different paper sizes than you use, you have personalized note paper you want to use, etc.
Pg 91Objective 3.1Discuss why they may choose to display the dialog box instead of just using the button on the Ribbon (change more than one item such as which tray contains this paper size – often this may be manual if it is different than what most of the office uses).

Pg 91-92Objective 3.1Provide examples of when you may want to change the orientation and for what purposes, e.g., need longer side to enter sales figures, inserting chart, inserting picture of site, creating envelope for letter, etc.Make sure students understand how to activate the Orientation option using both methods although certainly the first one is the fastest.

Pg 92-93Objective 3.1Some people consider this option to change margins as a faster method; you may want to walk the students slowly through the process initially. This can be handy if only one margin needs to be changed, especially if it’s the Top or Left margin.Have them zoom into the ruler so they can see the Left Margin ScreenTip when they point at the margin boundary there. Often students will begin dragging without watching for the prompt first and then wind up moving the indents. Make sure they understand that moving the indent markers is not the same as actually adjusting the margins, even though text appears to start closer to the left edge. Remind them to watch for the visual clues Word provides.

Pg 92-93Objective 3.1The Page Layout, Margins method introduces them to the common measurements used set for margins and give them a sense of comfort in regards to being able to pick one of these rather than try to customize them.Even if they do want to customize the margins, go through the Custom Margins option so they can see the Page Setup dialog box. This can also be a time saver for them if they want to change several margins at the same time.You may want to point out the last point but it isn’t necessary to spend a lot of time on it as they can enter more precise measurements in the Page Setup dialog box initially.
