Wow I wish you lived near enough to me so that I could have you give me a
couple of lessons! You sound like an absolutely amazing individual/teacher!

Good question. I do these with my totally blind students. Yes, at first they
need direction and help. The lessons I attached to the information is what
really guides them, helps them and gives them the direction they need to do
this all by themselves. With a little practice they can do it all.

I even had a senior do her senior project on doing all these types of
inserts in her powerpoint presentation all by herself in front of a crowd.
She was written up in the local newspaper because everyone thought it so
amazing...just practice, thats all.

I've attempted these things as someone who is totally blind, and have
experienced great difficulty in doing so. For one thing, how do you truly
know what the borders look like? And how do you truly know your work is
aligned perfectly/centered correctly after borders are added? How do you
truly know what the pictures you want to insert look like, or if they really
did copy correctly? It seems that this message applies primarily to those
with partial vision.

In the upper elementary school, and beyond, students are asked to make their
presentation or research papers look colorful. Where sighted children are
cutting and pasting onto their work, blind and low vision students are
taught how to make their f

great color, putting borders of artwork around paragraphs, words or the
whole page. Students also
<http://www.yourtechvision.com/products/beginner/microsoft-word> insert
pictures and position them where they need along with different types of
WordArt.

All the Basics of Inserting Word Art and Clip Art just click on

<http://www.yourtechvision.com/products/learn-how-insert-clip-art-and-word-a
rt%E2%80%94all-basics-these-office-2010-lessons> Office 2010 to get what you
need.

All the Basics on making your font colorful and stylish are found at
<http://www.yourtechvision.com/products/five-lessons-how-change-font-sizes-s
tyles-and-color-including-how-control-jaws> Office 2003 and Office 2010 The
same commands work in both Office products.

Enjoy and have fun. Students Love knowing they can do anything their sighted
peers can do when the teacher starts giving directions, they just do it on a
computer. It is a huge confidence builder and reinforces all their skills
now and makes them want to learn even more so they can tackle anything that
comes up in the future.
