WORD PROCESSING:
Jobs are hard to find, lately.   Computer literacy is a must.  The programs that most supervisors want you to know are the word processor, the spreadsheet, the database program., and bookkeeping  We introduce you to these and to a simple computer accounting bookkeeping program because every person working at any business, comes in contact with accounting activities, and to do well, should know the basics of transactions and updates. 
______________________________________________ 

WORD PROCESSING:
Word processing is simply typing, mostly letters and formatted text like resumes.   We will use a simple word processor called Wordpad.  We will create some practice text file and save them in the filename.txt(text) and the filename.rtf(rich text) formats.   ________________________________________

WORD PROCESSING:
Also, most of our lectures and homework are done with Wordpad.exe, so students will get valuable word processing experience from typing in answers to your homework assignments which are in .rtf (rich text format).
