Below is a set of plain (unformatted) text.
- Create a new document (Ctrl-N). Copy the text between ------Begin text ------and --- End text ------to the new document.
- Read the text.
- Make the necessary changes, so that it will look (more or less) like the two pages, the pictures of which are at the end of this document.
- Just make necessary formatting: please don’t make any manual entries (other than headers and footers), like inserting text (like spaces) or paragraph marks or manual page/section breaks. Study the images carefully, especially those with formatting marks displayed. Your pages may end at slightly different locations: this is not a problem. There are no page borders.

About fields
Fields are used as placeholders for data that might change in a document and for creating form letters and labels in mail-merge documents. Some of the most common fields are the PAGE field, which is inserted when you add page numbers, and the DATE field, which is inserted when you click Date and Time on the Insert menu and then select the Update automatically check box.
Fields are inserted automatically when you create an index or table of contents by using the Index and Tables command on the Insert menu. You can also use fields to automatically insert document information (such as the author or file name), to perform calculations, to create links and references to other documents or items, and to perform other special tasks.
Why use headers and footers?
Headers and footers are typically used in printed documents. You can create headers and footers that include text or graphics — for example, page numbers, the date, a company logo, the document's title or file name, or the author's name — that are usually printed at the top or bottom of each page in a document. A header is printed in the top margin; a footer is printed in the bottom margin.
You can use the same header and footer throughout a document or change the header and footer for part of the document. For example, use a unique header or footer on the first page, or leave the header or footer off the first page. You can also use different headers and footers on odd and even pages or for part of a document.
Why use footnotes and endnotes?
Typically, footnotes and endnotes are used in printed documents to explain, comment on, or provide references for text in a document. You can include both footnotes and endnotes in the same document — for example, you might use footnotes for detailed comments and endnotes for citation of sources. Footnotes appear at the end of each page in a document. Endnotes typically appear at the end of a document.
(These pages measure 8 inches wide by 6 inches long.)
