This
is a set of exercises in wordprocessing following the courses I provide. Before
you download the exercise make a folder in your wordprocessing
area and name it with the exercise number, download the exercise and
save into this new folder, use Winzip (or similar) to extract all the
files. If you want to e-mail your completed exercise back
to me for comment use the e-mail link on the home page. For those that
don't
want all the pictures and solutions at the end of each section is a
download for the exercise only.
Basic Wordprocessing Rules, for the beginner;
- One space after a comma
- Two spaces after a full stop
- One blank line between a heading and a paragraph
- One blank line between paragraphs
Each ZIP folder you download will contain the following;
- The exercise in Word format (.doc) i.e. ex 120 goodwill to men exercise.doc
- A text file to insert into your document if you dont want to type it in. i.e. goodwill to men text.doc
- A set of solutions (see if they match yours). i.e. ex 120 goodwill to men completed.doc
- A set of pictures and graphics to insert if the exercise requires them, in gif and jpg format.
The exercise only option will just download the exercise sheet in Word format, this is a better option if you have dial up internet, some of the ZIP files that contain graphics can be quite large.
