Cursor placement is important when adding Modules & Lessons

Before you click the Module or Lesson buttons on the LGPro ribbon:

  • Make sure your cursor is in the place in your document where you want to add the new Module or Lesson.

  • Wherever your cursor is, the new Module or Lesson will insert directly after it.

If you insert a new Module and Lesson in the wrong location:

  • Do not click Word’s Undo button

  • Use Librarian on the LGPro ribbon to delete the new Module and Lesson

  • Or carefully delete the new Module and Lesson by hand.

This is what happens when you add a new Module:

  • An odd numbered page section break is added to the page where your cursor was sitting

  • A new Module Overview page is added after the section break

  • A new Lesson page is added after the Module Overview page

This is what happens when you add only new Lesson:

  • A page break is added to the page where your cursor was sitting

  • A new Lesson page is added after the page break

After you click the Module button on the LGPro ribbon you will see the Add a New Module dialog box:

  • Use this to add your:

    • Module name

    • The name of the first Lesson in this new Module - because every Module has at least one Lesson

      • The lesson objective (Optional)

        • If you have turned off the option to automatically add a Lesson Objective block, this function will not add your objective

      • The lesson time (Optional)

        • If you have turned off the option to automatically add a Lesson Time block, this function will not add time

  • You also have the option to add another lesson.

    • You can always add more Lessons later, by clicking the Lesson button on the LGPro ribbon.

After you click the Lesson button on the LGPro ribbon you will see the Add a New Lesson dialog box:

  • Use this to add your:

    • Lesson name

      • The lesson objective (Optional)

        • If you have turned off the option to automatically add a Lesson Objective block, this function will not add your objective if you add one

      • The lesson time (Optional)

        • If you have turned off the option to automatically add a Lesson Time block, this function will not add your time if you add it

  • You also have the option to add another lesson.

    • You can always add more Lessons later, by clicking the Lesson button on the LGPro ribbon.
