How do I write a memo
Can someone please tell me how to write a memo? I am so confused and that is
what I have to do for my final. Thanks. Lovely |

I have to ask. What kind of a class are you taking that writing a memo
constitutes a final exam? and if we tell you how to do it, how does that help you learn? I know this sounds nasty, but it's not meant to be. If it's a test, then you really need to learn how to do it yourself. We shouldn't do your work for you. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "lovely" wrote in message ...

Well I am not asking you to write one for me. I have never wrote one so I do
not even know what format to use. I know what I want to write about just do not know how to start one. FYI, I wasn't asking anyone to write it for me!

If writing a memo is the final, then it's presumable that
attempts were made to teach you how to write a memo during the semester or year before the final. Too bad you didn't read the textbook or do your own homework or pay attention in class. lovely wrote: Well I am not asking you to write one for me.

What specifically do you need? Have you looked for templates or are you
asking how to use a template? Do you need words? If that's the case, this isn't the right place. What part of writing a memo do you need help with? (And I *am* still curious what kind of a class has you write a memo for a final.) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "lovely" wrote in message ... Well I am not asking you to write one for me.

Um.... You haven't ever met my teacher. You know what? I do not have to
explain myself to you guys anymore. SO just take your smart ass comments and go to hell!

Well Joann, I just need help with the format of how to start a memo. I need
to correct myself, however. It is not my final, it is an assignment for week 10. I looked at it completely wrong (It is a freaking online course) because it says something about the final for next week. The people who make up these assignments do not explain very well. And the textbook does not have an example. It is a comp class for college. And the funny thing is, I never had to complete a memo before or else I wouldn't be in here. Sorry about my previous post, I was just aggrivated because the preivous poster basically insulted me. I do read the books and I do do my own homework, I have just haven't had to do a memo in my life before. And again, I am not looking for someone to tell me what to write, I am just asking on what is supposed to be in a memo. As in how it is supposed to look. The only instructions that I can seem to find is only telling me not to make it too long. I just do not understand. Is there anywhere that can tell me how it is supposed to look or sound to the audience? Lovely "JoAnn Paules [MSFT MVP]" wrote: What specifically do you need?

I've sent memos that were schmoozy and some that sounded like I used the
OED. Memos are just notes. You need a Date, To, From, Subject and the memo itself. That's it. Have you tried Google? (And if you think *your* online class is confusing, you should see the one I'm taking on Introduction to Programming. I'd kill for an assignment of creating a memo. Imagine creating a pseudo code for a pseudo compiler and you are CLUELESS about the terminology. I mean, come on! A fake code for a fake compiler and, oh by the way, we're not going to tell you *how* to write the lines you need to enter so it really pseudo works. ARGH!!) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "lovely" wrote in message ... Well Joann, I just need help with the format of how to start a memo. I need to correct myself, however.

Thanks JoAnn for the info.
That does suck about your online course. I am lucky that my Intro to programming was on campus or I would have def. failed it. I had to take two programming classes. I know a little bit about it, but I don't remember learning what a pseudo code was. However my bf is into programming so if you need help with it, he could possibly help..

Have you tried using one of the Memo templates that ship with Word? You
should find them on the Letters & Mailings tab of the File New dialog. There's even a Memo Wizard you can use to fill in the From, To, Subject, and Date information. If you have Word 2002 or 2003, choose Template: On my computer in the New Document task pane to get to the File New dialog. -- Suzanne S.

The obvious conclusions here are that --
a) You were right to take a class on how to write, and b) It is entirely appropriate that you flunk. "lovely" wrote in message ... Um.... You haven't ever met my teacher. You know what?
