CIS 211 Week 1 Individual: Microsoft Word Exercise

Create a 2-page business proposal document in Microsoft Word addressing the following situation and requirements, making sure all points in the requirements section are covered.

Scenario: You have recently started employment at a small, but growing organization that lacks common software programs used for business. The organization currently does not have a word processing program and only uses freeware or other downloadable programs in writing business correspondence. Your new employer has asked you to gather information and write a business proposal encouraging executives to purchase and use Microsoft Word.

At minimum, add and address the following topics in your proposal:

• Include an introduction to your proposal.
• Include a table that addresses the advantages, disadvantages, and costs of using Microsoft Word.
• Insert an appropriate picture or video into the proposal illustrating the usefulness of Microsoft Word in the workplace. (Research online for this if needed)
• Include SmartArt or Charts to make the proposal more visually appealing than a standard paper.
• Include at least one paragraph describing the benefits and uses of Coauthoring and Collaboration that the organization might utilize with Microsoft Word.
• Include a conclusion as a final selling point to your audience.

Structure your response as a proposal rather than a research paper.

Follow APA formatting guidelines for any citations and references as needed.

Submit your Microsoft Word document to the Assignment Files tab.
