From the Publisher: This trusted guide provides instruction and applications designed to sharpen skills in detecting and correcting writing errors. The material progresses from easy-to-recognize errors to those more difficult to spot, allowing students to build confidence and skill. Documents to proofread and edit include memos, letters, multiple-page reports, e-mail messages, databases, advertisements, and spreadsheets. Highlights of the fifth edition include a discussion of voice-recognition technology and proofreading plus seven review modules with challenging documents to check and correct. Software TIPS give advice on using software tools in proofreading and editing. Checkup exercises in each chapter offer an immediate test of chapter concepts (answers appear in the back of the student edition). Each chapter ends with six application exercises. Two of the six applications appear on the CD-ROM, with a Word "RM" and a WordPerfect "RM" version of each document.
