The importance of proofing

• When you have finished writing a letter always read it through before printing.  Change any errors you find.  Run the spell checker to find any spelling or grammatical errors.  The keyboard shortcut to run the spell checking program is F7.

• Preview the document within the Print Preview view.  Does the text look balanced on the page?  Does everything else look correct?

• Print out the document and read through it one more time.  Often when you read a printed document you see errors that you somehow missed when reading the document on the screen.
