Assignment Description
Using MS Word 2003, format a 5-page report. The main content for the report consists of
article summaries written by your classmates. These will be provided to you in a zip file.
Different students will have different sets of files, so do not be alarmed if your neighbor’s
final report looks different. Although different formats have been used by each student,
your report should have a unified, consistent look. Therefore, you will need to use your
editing skills to reformat these as specified. The requirements for each of the five pages
are provided below.
Page 1: Cover Page
Create an attractive cover page with the following information:
 Your name in bold and 18 pt font
 Instructor’s name in italics
 Course number and section, underlined
 Assignment name (Lab 2)
