The Design team was asked to provide new designs for Fitch Ratings Special and Full Ratings Reports, with the following objectives - they had to look well-designed, they had to be easy to use and they had to be in Microsoft Word.

​

As Fitch Ratings has hundreds of analysts who use these templates, it was important to make them usable for them in producing their reports. 

​

I learned how to write code to create macros and code to create custom ribbons
and successfully added commands and ribbons that suited the analysts’ and editors’ needs.

 

These included: 

• Changing and resizing an image to fit the front cover 

• Pasting in a chart as a picture 

• Inserting and deleting landscape page sections in a portrait document 

• Automatically formatting and resizing headers and footers in a
  landscape section
