• The Backspace key is used to erase an immediately preceding typed character.

• Space once after a semicolon (;) used as punctuation.

• Do not space between a letter and the forward slash (/).

• The apostrophe is used in a contraction (can’t, don’t) and to show possession (John’s book). It is also used as a symbolfor “feet” (19')

• Use a hyphen to join compound words (twenty-six) and adjectives before a noun (old-fashioned gown).

• Use a dash (made by pressing the hyphen key twice) for emphasis (Don’t wait--is what I said). When you enter twohyphens without spacing before or after them, the word processing software joins the hyphens to form an “em” dash.


NOTE: On the Mac, use the Delete keyinstead of the Backspace key.

6. Take three 1/2 minute timings on each paragraph shownbelow and on the next page.

• Allow the text to wrap automatically to the next line. Do not press the Enter key at the end of each line.

• Say each letter to yourself as you strike the key. Think of the space after a word or a punctuation mark as part of the word just typed.

• Space once after a comma and twice after a period that ends a sentence.

• Use the Backspace key to correct an immediate error.

• Press the Enter key twice after each timed writing.

• The numbers to the left, right, and bottom of the text will help you calculate your speed. Ignore them,however, when typing the exercise.

Line Stroke Words

1 It’s fun to buy at the Tex Co. store. They seem to have lots 12

3 for Guy. 26

1 The World Wide Web, commonly known as WWW, or the Web, is a 12

Concept Builders

• A “timed writing” is an exercise thatallows you to determine how fastyou can type.

• You might be asked how manywords per minute you type. Aftercompleting this exercise, you will be able to provide an answer.

• In calculating your typing speed,words are counted by “strokes.”Every five strokes counts for oneword. This includes the spacebetween words. Stroke words arenot actual words. For example, the first timed writing exercisecontains 26 stroke words, but only 30 actual words.

Line Stroke Words

1 You have come a long way in a very short time. It was just a 12

2 few days ago that you started to type. You can now do this 24

3 without looking at the keys or the screen while you type. 36

4 With more practice, you’ll get better and better and make 48

5 fewer and fewer erros. You will even increase your typing 60

6 speed. Are you having fun now? 66

....1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10....11....12

7. Print each timing.

8. Calculate the number of words you typed per minute foreach timing as follows:

• If you type to the exact end of a line, the number of(stroke) words is indicated to the right of the line. If youtype to the middle of a line, the numbers below the textwill help you count the words typed. For example, in thefirst timing, if you type to the word “Jim” on line 2, youwould add 10 to 12 (the number at the end of line 1) fora total of 22 stroke words.

• However, if you are timed for 1/2 minute, you mustmultiply the number of (stroke) words by 2 to calculateyour typing speed.

9. Close the document; do not save the changes.

NOTE: Try the timings again tomorrow. Then, take eachtimed writing for one minute. Each day your typing speed will improve.
