Project Description:

 As a class assignment, you are working with a research report related to decision making. You are finalizing the first draft and will submit it for your instructor’s approval.

By   displaying nonprinting characters, you see such indicators as page and   section breaks, which are helpful when managing document flow.

Display   nonprinting characters. Note that the document includes a blank first page.   Change the document theme to Retrospect and select Colors of Blue Warm.   Select all text in the document and change the font to Times New Roman. Click   the View tab and display the ruler.

Some phrases, such as full names of people   or publications, display more attractively if they are not divided between   lines, as is the case with the name of the publication referenced in this paper. By including a Nonbreaking Space,   you ensure that the publication name will not be divided between lines.

Remove the word why from the second sentence in the first body paragraph on page   2. Remove the space following the word Cognitive   in the last sentence of the first body paragraph on page 2 and insert a   Nonbreaking Space symbol between Cognitive   and Creativity.

Insert   check mark bullets on the three single-line paragraphs in the first body   paragraph, beginning with the   irrationality of humans and ending with the nature of well-being. Reduce the indent to position bullets at   the left margin and ensure that each bulleted text begins with a capital letter. Change the left and right margins to 1”.

In Outline view, you can collapse headings   to any level of detail and then manage sections, perhaps dragging to   rearrange them as you do in this step.

Change to Outline View. Change the Show Level   setting to Level 2. Drag Stages of   Prospect Theory directly below the heading Prospect Theory so that it becomes the first sublevel in the Prospect Theory section. Close Outline   View. Bold the bulleted items on page 2.

Select   all text in the document and adjust paragraph spacing before and after to 0   pt. Double-space the document. Add a first line indent of 0.5″ to the   first body paragraph on page 2 (beginning with The study of behavioral economics). Center the title and subtitle   (Cognitive Creativity and An Analysis). Change the line spacing   of the first line, Cognitive Creativity,   to 1.0.

Text that is formatted in a particular   style adheres to the design requirements of the style. To quickly change all   text based on a particular style, or to ensure that text that is typed in   that style is formatted appropriately, you can modify a style. By default,   style settings are applied to the open document only.

Modify document properties to include Parker Adams as   the author, removing any existing author. Modify Heading 1 style to include a   font of Times New Roman, 14 pt., Black, Text 1. Modify Heading 2 style to   include a font of Times New Roman, Black, Text 1. Changes in style should   apply to the current document only.

Tabbed   text can, in some cases, be formatted and worked with more easily if it is   identified as a table. In this case, arranging the tabbed text as a table   enables you to apply a preset style and to include an appropriate formula in   a future step.

Select the   lines of tabbed text near the top of page 3 (beginning with System 1 and ending with 0.39) and convert the selection to a   table, accepting all default settings. Insert a row above the first row of   the new table, merge all cells, and type Systems   of Decision Making. (Do not type the period.)   Center text in the first row.

Insert a row below the first row. Split the   cells in the row, adjusting the number of columns shown in the dialog box to   4 and ensuring that Merge cells before   split is selected. Select the table and choose Distribute Columns on the   Table Tools Layout tab to align all columns.

Type the following text in row   2:

Insert a row at the end of the table and   merge the first three cells on the new row. Type Average Probability in the   merged cell on the last row and center the text. In the last cell on the last   row, enter a formula to average the numbers in the column above. You do not   need to select a Number format.

Click after the period that ends the last sentence   in the first body paragraph under System   Biases (ending in economical   solutions to problems). Insert a footnote with the text, For more   information on theory-induced blindness, visit   http://cognitivecreativity.com/theory. (Include the period and be sure to include   a hyphen between theory and induced.) Right-click the footnote and   modify the style to include Times New Roman 12 pt. font.
