In the following project, you will modify a document prepared for
publication in one or more journals related to weather statistics in the United
States. Climate change, or global warming, is suspected by some to be a factor
in the change in injuries and fatalities related to natural disasters and
weather trends. The document and related table will be combined with a data source
in a mail merge operation to send to selected journal editors.
