You will have 30 minutes for this exam, please be considerate to your fellow students waiting outside until you're done. Practice well!

In this exam, you will be asked to format an article from TIME magazine. You will receive on diskette a partially formatted text, and a list of instructions to complete the page.

Please read the instructions carefully, if you have doubts regarding the instructions, please clarify them with your instructor or proctor.

The raw, partially edited exam will be on your diskette. Don't forget to bring one to class on Monday!

Along with the instructions, you will also have a print-out of the final version of what your file should look like after you have finished formatting the file according to the instructions. Refer to this print-out often to check to see if you are on the right track.

Both the raw text and the final version of the sample test are linked to this document. See below.

Make sure you save your work periodically on your diskette. DO NOT print out your final document.

Good luck.
