Review
"This software is the foundation of all four of our keyboarding courses, especially the self-paced courses. We like it very much."
Review
"We have always used South-Western keyboarding books. To us at Columbus State Community College, they are the 'signature' keyboarding books. We have always liked the layout and color schemes presented."
Review
"I do like the way the books are organized. It is easy to find information by using the index and/or table of contents. I love the reference pages in the back of the book. I teach my students to always look things up. By having the info in one place, makes it easy for my students. I like the exercises that force a student to look up formatting. So many times the students just want to type right from the book without making decisions. In the beginning lessons, I like how the new keys and information are introduced. I love KeyPro."
