 * 1   Launch the Word
 * 2  Select the icon labeled "Margins," and then from the window of choices that appear, select "Custom Margins" at the bottom. A Page Setup window appears. Click on the arrow in the center of the window labeled "Multiple Pages" and find a drop-down menu.
 * 3  Choose "Book Fold" from this drop-down menu. Also adjust the margins to your liking in this window.
 * 4  Decide on a value for the gutter margin. Gutter margin is defined as the space between the margins on the two facing pages of your minibook. This value needs to be larger for a book with a binding that uses up some of the space in between facing pages than for a simple staple binding.
 * 5  Type in the copy for your minibook and add graphics in the usual way. Word 2007 makes the appropriate adjustments so that copy and graphics fit nicely in your minibook format. Click on the Office button on the upper left hand corner, then on "Print Preview" to get a view of how everything will look. Make any changes necessary, andprint once you are satisfied.
 * 6  Arrange the pages so that they are in the proper order and orientation. Fold the pieces of paper exactly down the middle of the facing pages to form your minibook. Turn the entire book face down, and put two staples in the fold to serve as your binding. [[image:computerlab325/dreaming_of_a_white_Christmas.JPG width="408" height="306"]]

The second page is a good place for your dedication. Your dedication should start with "For my ....." and say why you are dedicating this book to him/her/them.

Then on the 3rd page pick your first symbol and type that word on that page. Here is the list, choose 9:

**Yule Log **
Keep going until you have 9 symbols, one on each page. Check how the book looks so far by click on Print Preview.

Fun part! Now go and find images of each!

After all your images are in place, check with Print Preview.

It is time to go online and find out the meaning of each symbol. Write a short paragraph about each using your own words.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Mrs Clatch
