Advanced Typewriting Skills

Designed as an accompaniment to "Typewriting Skills" and adopting the same approach, this new text provides the student with a thorough grounding in advanced typewriting and word processing skills.The increase in open learning style courses means there is a need for textbooks which supply students with all the information they need to carry out assignments in the book. With this in mind, the emphasis of "Advanced Typewriting Skills" is on individual work, self-checking, proofreading and speed development. The author's aim is to make students aware of the importance of layout and presentation, preparing them for employment involving advanced typewriting skills, and to equip them with related office skills. Special features include an open learning style - ideal as a self-teaching text as well as for use in the classroom; a "real world" approach - students are presumed to be working in the fictional office equipment company used in "Typewriting Skills"; work processing and typewriting are integrated throughout; and there are communication and secretarial assignments.
