• They have supplied you with the information in the file Upcoming Events which you need to convert to a table.
• Change the page orientation to landscape, adjust paragraph spacing to suit the table.

DOCUMENT 3 – Rules on Sports

The Sports Committee is trying to introduce the students to different sports and encourage all to give them a go. To do this they have included sports that aren’t common but everyone can try. They have also considered that some sports are weather dependent so tried to select sports that can happen inside if need be.

The text used in the document has been gathered from the internet and needs to be formatted so that it is appropriate for all staff.

Open the file and make the necessary changes.

• Add an appropriate heading
• Ensure consistent spacing in the document.
• Margins all 2.5 cm
• Single line spacing with no paragraph spacing before or after.
• Appropriate sub heading font used
• Use page breaks where necessary to ensure that a new page is started in an appropriate place.
• Present the sports rules document. This document is to hand out to all house captains informing them of the basic rules of each of the sports being covering during Term 2’s inter-house lunchtime competition.
• The sports need to be placed into the following order and the dates added to the document. The sport will take place on the first Monday of the week so please put an appropriate date:
