Hands-on Word Processing [electronic resource

As all word processors and microcomputers with word-processing packages differ in operation, it has not been possible to include specificinstruction regarding the keys to be struck to perform the various operations. Space has been provided for you to write inthe keystrokes relating to the particular equipment in use, following instruction from your teacher, or reference to the machine's manual. The order in which certain operations are carried out will also vary from one make or type of machine to another. For example, you may need to open a file before or after the text is typed. For this reason, and for ease of reference , the operations have been grouped under seven main headings, to which you may refer easily for revision. The Contents page is designed to act as a check-list against which you may tick off each exercise as it is completed, in the box provided. As far as possible, the exercises have been designed to be achievable on most types of machine, though the ease or otherwise of performing them will necessarily vary from one machine to another. Some operations may not be possible on the more basic types of word processors, or on some microcomputer word-processing packages. Where an operation is found to be impracticable for this reason, ensure that you are shown , or have explained to you , how it can be done on other machines . Basic procedures for safety should be observed at all times, and great care exercised in the handling of equipment, program software and work-disks. Repairs and replacements can be extremely costly, and 'down-time' can deprive you and others of valuable hands-on-time.
