WEEK THREE

TOPIC: KEYBOARDING (TECHNIQUE DEVELOPMENT)

CONTENT:Description and use of tabular keys.

Description and use of line space regulator

Description and use of carriage return lever

Description and use of margin release key

USE OF TABULATOR KEY

When the tabulator key is operated, the carriage moves quickly to any predetermined position.

The tabulator key can be set by hand at required positions on the rack. On modern machines, it can be set by a special key provided for that purpose. When a tabulator bar is depressed, the carriage moves to the position for which the stop is set. In order to set the tabulator at 15, the space bar should be tapped five times from the left margin when this is 10, and stop set at this point. If the tabular stop is set wrongly or is no longer required, the setting can be cleared by using the clearing key or level provided.

Evaluation: Describe the use of tabulator key.

LINE-SPACE REGULATOR

This is the level that regulates the spacing required between the lines. The level may be set for single, double or treble-line spacing. Half-spacing can be set on modern machines. The required spacing should be set before you begin to work.

Evaluation: Describe the use of line- space regulator.

USE OF CARRIAGE RETURN LEVER

This lever is used for turning up the paper and for returning the typewriter carriage to the right in order to begin a new line.

Evaluation: Describe the use of carriage return lever.

USE OF MARGIN RELEASE KEY

When the margin release key is depressed, it allows you to type beyond the set margin points at either end of the line.

Evaluation: Describe the use of margin release key.
