Background Information
Word 2016 has features that allow the user to add symbols, special characters, and images to a Word
document. Symbols and special characters are marks, a letter, a mark and a letter together, or an image
that represents an idea. Symbols and special characters are not typically found on the keyboard. Word
allows for the formatting of added special characters and symbols.
A user may also add images to a Word document. The pictures may be stored on the user’s computer or
may be accessed online. Added images may be formatted. For example, the size of an added image can
be changed in a Word document to suit the user’s needs.

Creamy Ice Corporation

The Creamy Ice Corporation opened its ice cream making factory in
September 1995. Since then, it has offered many flavors, including its now
famous banana-chocolate ice cream. The company is known for the unique
flavors of its ice cream products.™

The Creamy Ice Corporation is also known for its customer service. Their
Product Research and Development department conducts experiments to
determine how to maintain ice cream quality. They share the results of their
experiements through the Results In! part of their website
(www.creamyicecorp.org).

The company offers the following tips to make ice cream last longer without sacrificing its
taste and texture:
1. Make sure the temperature of your freezer is between –5°F and 0°F. This is the temperature
that prevents the ice cream from melting. This temperature helps keep the ice crystals in the
ice cream small. Smaller crystals mean better ice cream texture.
2. Do not leave the ice cream out too long. Melted ice cream that is refrozen results in larger ice
crystals, which then create a sandy ice cream texture.
3. Store ice cream at the back of the container. This position will protect the ice cream from the
warm air that enters every time you open the freezer.
4. Store ice cream in wide, flat containers. This strategy exposes more of the ice cream to the
cold air in the freezer.
5. Consume ice cream within two to three weeks. Although ice cream can last two to four
months in the freezer, its texture and taste is best within two to three weeks of storage in the
freezer.
