errors may not be actual errors. If so, make Word ignore them.

are the hardest kinds of errors to spot.

3 replacements to do.

g. AutoFormat the letter using the Style Gallery's Professional Letter
template. If the format of World Travel Inc. changes, change it back to
Matura Script Capitals, 24 pt., green.
h. Make one page: Delete the paragraph marks between the Closing
and the Signature, and one below the Signature. Be careful not to delete
the Signature by selecting too much!
With the cursor on page 1, on the vertical ruler, drag the boundary
between the white and gray parts at the bottom of the ruler downward
just barely enough for the Enclosures to show back up on page 1 and page
2 to vanish.
You may also need to
delete other blank lines.
The new paragraph
styles include blank
space after the
paragraph, so you don't
really need whole blank
lines.
If necessary, fix the
alignment of the
enclosures by moving
the text over with the
TAB key.
i. Header: View the
header and type your
name on the left, two
spaces, and insert the
