Description top Word Processing: Simple Business Documents bridges the gap between tradition and innovation. The authors embrace the often forgotten high standards in document layout, correct use of language and punctuation whilst marrying modern technology and techniques from their background in publishing, word processing, teaching and corporate training.

Features and Benefits top Operator instructions: Instructions are written in an easy-to-read and step-by-step format specifically for Word 2000. There are lots of screen captures to illustrate and guide. File management concepts in Word 2000 are introduced in the first chapter and gradually build as the students gain in confidence. Chapter activities and consolidation: After the introduction of each new function the learner is able to test their level of understanding and skill. The activities begin with tips and instructions and progressively offer the student the opportunity to operate independently. The more confident learner can move directly to the independent activities, whilst the experienced learner, who may be revising, can move directly to the production tasks at chapter end. All activities and tasks combine handwritten and printed proofs. In the early chapters the activities are short - consistent with the learner's ability. Production tasks: At the conclusion of each chapter, handwritten post-it notes, work request slips, emails or telephone messages deliver realistic consolidation tasks. These production tasks simulate the office environment of three fictitious companies and require the student to refer to style manuals for guidelines on their particular document style. A complete set of business stationery is available in both Word template or pdf format. The production tasks are designed to test operator proficiency and knowledge of the chapter whilst requiring them to apply skills and functions learned in previous chapters and to develop time management techniques. Style manuals: Throughout the training period, students will be constantly referring to the fictitious organisation style manuals for instructions, information and guidance on undertaking tasks and producing business documents that meet a consistently high standard. The manuals are one instrument in helping the student develop the ability to self-manage a task and make judgments based on criteria that is already established. Document design: Through the clever use of thumbnail sketches and models, the learner develops the fundamentals of document design principles applying to a wide range of business documents that can be produced in virtually any software application. Formatting and punctuating text: Perhaps the most overlooked element in word processing textbooks in recent years has been the absence of rules in formatting and punctuating text. Garton and Garrett have addressed this in a most creative way by drawing attention to the rules in a call-out the first time it is encountered in an activity, followed by ample opportunities to independently apply the rules. Proofreading: Standard correction marks are progressively introduced in each chapter and applied to corrected copy thereafter, thus developing the learner's ability to self-manage document proofreading and editing. Business document formatting: The three fictitious organisations all have distinctly different formatting requirements consistent with their image. The formatting of business correspondence, memos, faxes, reports, manuals, envelopes and labels are approached in a logical and practical way that simulates the workplace environment. Conservation: At every opportunity, the learner is reminded to observe the organisation's policy on energy and paper conservation. OHS: At various intervals students are reminded of the OHS principles to be observed for a safe and healthy workplace Presentation: The text is presented in a 3-column grid, allowing for activity symbols and the learner's own marginal notes. The book is sewn and perfect bound at the top in A4 size for easy handling and space saving at the desk.
