Before you can plan keyboarding work in an orderly and
efficient manner, you must first memorize a number of basic
facts that relate to keyboarding.  First, keep in mind that
a basic sheet of computer print paper is eleven inches long
and eight and one half inches wide.  We have two basic type
sizes that are called pica and elite.  Pica, the largest of
the two, permits you to key ten letters per inch, while the
smaller elite permits the keying of twelve letters per copy
inch.  To vertically plan it is essential that all students
know that there are six lines per copy inch--pica or elite.
     Once the student has grasped the above information, he
can then quickly compute the horizontal and vertical layout
for the copy to be keyed.  What is the horizontal center of
your paper when pica type is used?  This answer is found by
simply multiplying the number of pica spaces per inch, ten,
by eight and one half.  The resulting product, eighty five,
is then divided by two in order to compute the center point
of the paper, this of course being forty two.  Now, another
question:  Just how many lines can be typed on a full sheet
of paper?  The top paragraph contains all the needed facts.
