SAMPLE ASSIGNMENT
1. Start your computer and load a word processing application.
2. Create a new document and enter the following text, making sure that the
heading is underlined:

CHANGING WALSALLS WAYS OF WORKING

Walsall Council is consulting people across the Borough on how it makes
decisions and how local people can be involved in that decision-making. Similar
consultations are taking place in Councils across the country to determine the
future shape of local government. We have commenced formal consultations on
the options. This leaflet sets out some key points, as part of that consultation.

Last year Parliament passed a law which means that all Councils up and down
the country have to change the way they work and how they take decisions.
Councils have to modernise, to find new ways of working which put people and
communities first. The idea is to give Councils clearer leadership moving on from
the traditional committee system, which the Government feels often, causes
delays and confusion.

The views, the concerns, and the needs of local communities are central to the
Councils way of working through Ward councillors, via local groups, at public
forums at Area Planning Committees, at local committees, through work with
partner organisations, and through other forms of consultation. Walsall Council
wants to be known more and more as a listening Council.


3. Check your work thoroughly and correct any errors you may find.
4. Save your document to your floppy disk.
5. Print a copy of your document.
6. Replace the word Councils with the word Local Governments wherever it
occurs (four times in all).

sentence:
This leaflet sets out some key points, as part of that consultation.
8. Insert the following paragraph so it becomes the last paragraph in the document:
Page 19 College of Continuing Education
Microsoft Word 2002
College of Continuing Education Page 20
The Council must change its ways of working. We want to listen to your
views before we decide how to change what kind of Council do you want
for the new century?
9. Insert the following text as the final sentence of the first paragraph:
And if you want to join in the debate now a Freepost address is available on
the back of this leaflet.
10. Justify the whole document.
11. Save and print your document.
12. Move the last sentence of the third paragraph
Walsall Council wants to be known more and more as a listening Council.
so that it becomes the first sentence of the same paragraph.
13. Reduce the width of the whole text by increasing both the left and the right
margins by 1 cm.
14. Centre the heading.
15. Set double spacing for the final paragraph of the document.
16. Make sure that the document is justified.
17. Ask your tutor to check your work for accuracy.
