Covering the elementary and intermediate levels of typing, this book is suitable for short courses in which the needs of a variety of learners must be catered for quickly. This edition retains the keyboarding scheme of the first edition, with hand-written pieces included for greater realism. It also contains over 20 word-processing exercises suitable for input, with text-editing instructions. Skill-measurement exercises are designed to help students whether they are aiming to improve speed or accuracy, and to enable them to monitor their level of achievement. Integrated production-typing exercises simulate typical office typing and encourage students to make their own decisions and establish work priorities. Datafiles are included to help develop initiative, and an alphabetical databank at the end of the book gives concise information about typewriting conventions and theory.
