Keyboarders must possess the ability to find the large
number of errors they are certain to make as they engage in
keyboarding activities.  Keystroke errors must be expected,
regardless of the skill level of the operator.  Little harm
results from the making of an error.  Instead, the problems
come from a failure to locate the unplanned misstrokes.  To
search out the keystroke errors, the keyboarder must employ
a proofreading plan.  The best plan requires that you first
read through the copy quite rapidly.  Following the reading
of your copy for content, it is read through a second time.
     The initial rapid reading of your copy is to determine
if any of your work was left out that was not intended.  At
this point you are reading the copy for meaning.  Thus, you
scan the copy for an omitted word, phrase, or sentence.  As
you complete the reading for meaning, the copy is then read
slowly, word by word.  The detailed reading of your copy is
to locate errors such as incorrect spellings; also, each of
the punctuation marks are checked.  Here is a helpful point
for you to keep in mind:  An expert keyboarder is a skilled
discoverer of errors who can also productively strike keys.
