07x Formatting Paragraphs

1. In Word type the following paragraph:

   I had a wonderful day today. I woke up bright and early and went for a run in the park. It was so early there were not many people around. The sun was still rising and there was dew on the grass. When I got back home I looked around the garden and I was so pleased to see the aubergine plant had flowered. I watered the pepper plants in the greenhouse and planted three flowers. I had lunch in the garden as it was a lovely sunny day, then had a nap in the early afternoon. By about 4 o'clock I had hoovered downstairs and started cooking. My two best friends came over for dinner and I served up three delicious courses. We had a really good chat and it was a great way to end a wonderful day.
