Highlight the first set of stars in the first line of text, by dragging your cursor over them.2. When they are highlighted, use the delete key to remove them, and then type a word in their place (choose thecorrect word from the words on the right-hand side of the screen). It is important to make sure that you have justone space in front of and one space after the word you have added – any extra spaces will result in a ‘fail’.3. Continue to add words into the text, as for steps 1-2 above, until you have used all the words. You can click oneach word in the box on the right as you use them – the word will then be ticked so that you don’t use it twice bymistake.4. You will need to use the scroll bar to see all the text. Click on the arrow at the bottom of the scroll bar to movethe text up.5. The correct words to insert are underlined below, and shown in the correct position.

Instruction 21. Look through the text on screen to see where capital letters are needed (e.g. names of people or places).There are five letters in total to change.2. Put the cursor after a letter you want to make into a capital, and use the backspace key to delete it.3. Now use the shift key to type a capital letter in its place. (Remember to hold the shift key down while youpress the letter key on your keyboard.)4. Repeat steps 2-3 for the five missing capital letters.5. Check your work carefully, then click ‘Submit’.N.B.On some occasions, the cursor may not appear on screen where the User clicks. This does not affect thetyping in of characters or any of the editorial work required.The assessment will be searching for correct text and correct spacing - it is therefore very important not to addany extra spaces to the text.
