Word processing has to do with the preparation of more-or-less formal documents to be shared with others or archived. Whereas text handling is used to prepare and send e-mail, to enter a website URL and/or an ID and password on the screen, to copy and save text from a website, to enter shipping and credit card info on a website, to write and save a small note or clipping as a memory jogger, etc. etc. etc. This presentation will discuss techniques and shortcuts to make both of these processes routine and unstressful.
Arrive early to listen in and/or participate. For more info email Jack Hennessy aonghus@alumni.calpoly.edu
