Synopses & Reviews
Lessons 1-60 help students to develop the strong keyboarding skills they need and combine them with the functions of Word 2000, word processing software. Each lesson will highlight the applications used in all levels of the office environment, plus an early emphasis on skillbuilding provides a strong foundation and adds more reinforcement than any other text in the market.
Synopsis
The emphasis is learning to key by touch the alphabetic and number keys (top row); symbols and numeric keypad included. The all-in-one Windows keyboarding instructional software, Keyboarding Pro, correlates directly with these lessons ensuring that students develop a strong basic skill.
