Computer Keyboarding 1
April 13
 |
Tip: To display your work quickly in
your Portfolio at the
Student Web Site, use a filter. Each time you check your annotations,
jot down the date. Change the start date in the Portfolio Filter screen to
that date. Try changing the lesson range to a group of recent lessons
.rather than all lessons. It really works. |

Lesson 26-A B C Lesson 26-D, 3-Minute Timed Writing
TW Goal: 30/5e |
 We
are going to SKIP REPORTS for now and return to them towards the end
of the semester since they are more difficult to type. You will be typing correspondence (letters and memos)
followed by tables and then reports in the next few weeks. Just follow the
assignment sheet carefully as you will be moving around the textbook quite a
bit from now on. You will be typing the skillbuilding drills in order, but
moving around the lessons out of order for documents. |
|
Five documents have been designated on
the Assignment Sheet as Proofreading Checks.
This orientation will help you understand Proofreading Check documents
including how they are created using the online Reference Manual and
textbook; how they are scored by GDP, and how two separate grades are
assigned to a document.

- Each Proofreading Check document must be proofread with 100% accuracy
and have zero scoring errors on the first scored attempt. If any errors
are scored, 1% point will be deducted from your final grade average. To
make up a lost point, you may recreate the document and try again.
- Deductions.
If there are any typos on
the first scored attempt on a proofreading check document, 1% will be deducted from your final average up to
5% total at my discretion.
 If you finish a document and
are not yet ready to score it, click No when you exit and are
prompted to score. I count scored attempts only, not unscored
attempts.
- To earn back a lost proofreading point,
click Create to delete and recreate the Proofreading Check
document. If it is scored with zero errors, you regain the lost
proofreading point.
- Extra Credit. If you proofread any
documents other than those designated as proofreading checks with zero
errors on the first attempt, from 0.5 to 1.5% of
extra credit
will be added to your final average. These extra credit points will help
cancel out any proofreading deductions.

Document Editing and Proofreading
You must recreate a proofreading check
document or edit a regular document until it is perfect—no typos and no
formatting errors. If the format
is perfect and there are no typos, you will earn a grade of A for
formatting. Whenever you need to review the errors you made in a document
after you have closed the document, do the following:
- Click Portfolio.
- Click the desired document and click View Text to display your
scored document.
- Click Return to Program to return to
the Lesson Menu.
I will grade the last attempt you make on
all documents when assigning a formatting grade. To edit the document, reselect the document
and click
the Edit button to reopen the document. Continue editing the document
until the format is perfect and there are no typos.

When you are prompted to type your reference
initials in the Personal Information window, type your first and last
initials in lowercase, no spaces, no periods, and no parentheses.
 Be
sure to type the date as shown in the textbook rather than using the
Insert Date feature. Use Insert Date only when you want to insert
the current date in a letter.
Click the thumbnail picture to the right to see a full-sized view of
Letter 31-3. |
 |
- If you enter reference initials
incorrectly, click Options, Personal Information, and click
in the Your initials box. Type your initials correctly there
and click OK.
- When a letter is scored that
includes reference initials, the initials that you type in Personal
Information must match the reference initials you type in the letter
or you will have a scoring error.

Lesson 32-h, Enclosure Notation
Lesson 32,
Correspondence 32-8
Business Letter in Block Style
 Remember to type your reference
initials in this letter exactly the same way as you typed them in
Options, Personal Information, Your initials box. When you type your
reference initials and press Enter to move to the next line to type the
enclosure notation, Word might change the first initial of your reference
initials to uppercase. Word's "AutoCorrect" feature is trying to make sure
that the first word in a new line is capitalized. You can either correct the
capitalization when you're done; or as soon as you notice the auto
correction, click the Undo button or press Ctrl-Z. If you want to
permanently stop AutoCorrect, in Word click Tools, AutoCorrect Options,
and uncheck all the boxes as shown in the screen shot at the right. |
