The task involves preparing a comprehensive and professional audit report for the Fiscal Year 2018 for the City of Floma, utilizing advanced features of Microsoft Word 2016. The process begins with customizing a cover page, using the Whisp design template, and inputting specific details such as the report title and company name. The report’s stylistic elements are modified, including changing color schemes to Yellow Orange, and adjusting headers with centered and right-aligned text, accompanied by paragraph borders to enhance visual appeal and clarity.
Following formatting, the document should have its structure refined by managing content placement—specifically, deleting unnecessary paragraphs, properly placing the Executive Summary content, and organizing the Supporting Tables section at the end with adjusted page breaks. The inclusion of a Table of Contents, formatted with specific styles that remove first-line indents, ensures the document's navigability and professionalism. Proper referencing of data sourced from a government website adds credibility and complies with citation standards.
For document organization and presentation, tables are styled meticulously: applying the No Spacing style, inserting captions, adjusting column widths to prevent text breaking, merging cells for summary rows, and inserting formulas for total calculations. Cell alignment is tailored to enhance readability, with specific alignment for cell content. These details ensure the tables are clear, accurate, and professionally formatted.
Beyond the report, the task extends to creating a cover letter via mail merge. This includes editing the template to address specific council members personally, inserting links to the report, and customizing greetings by matching courtesy titles. The mail merge process involves previewing, completing, and saving the personalized letters, which are then combined into a comprehensive four-page document. These steps demonstrate seamless integration of data sources, document automation, and final document management.
Finally, all files are to be saved with appropriate naming conventions, and the entire process emphasizes attention to detail, professional formatting, and compliance with the given guidelines. The meticulous execution of these steps underscores proficiency in advanced Word features, document formatting, referencing, and mail merge processes necessary for official governmental reporting and communication.
