Have you ever used a computer without a mouse?

At my workplace, there’s only one public computer in our common room.

Individual computers are for top management only.

Gboard’s editing mode on an Android phone.

So everybody at my workplace was furious when our little black mouse vanished.

So that everybody - the management people included - could see it.

Because in about fifteen minutes, one of the supervisors would visit the common room.

Extremely inadequate for our little project.

And to think that I only had several minutes left, I might just have canceled my plan.

Fortunately, there’s MS Word to save the day.

The file explorer on the Dell XPS 14 9440.

In my humble opinion, using the famous Microsoft Word just to write documents is overkill.

It has so many features beyond word processing.

In the rush of the moment, I didn’t have the time to document the process.

The images might have slight differences to the Windows version, but the steps are exactly the same.

Anyway, here’s what I did.

And changed the orientation tolandscape.

I inserted a text box and started to bang out some ‘catchy’ phrases/sentences.

I switched from Word to the web for a while to find an appropriate picture.

After that, I continued by customizing the text box.

I also set the transparency to around 50%.

My last steps were changing the font color to white and did some minor adjustments.
