3. Change the document heading to ‘Winter weather forces schools to close’.
4. Save the document as task13_yourname
5. Open the saved file, and make the following changes in the text:
 Move the last sentence in the document so that it becomes the last sentence in
the first paragraph.
 Add a new subtitle ‘School Closures’ just above the table, and add this new
paragraph between the subtitle and the table:
‘The dramatic change in the weather has meant that a number of areas are
experiencing transport problems. This means that many schools across the
country have been closed.’
 In the third paragraph, change the word ‘was’ to ‘is’, and add the word ‘has’
between ‘counties’ and ‘reported’.
 Save the document.
6. Narrow the columns in the top table so that there is a minimum of white space but no
text wraps within a cell.
