Accuracy in today's office documents--memos, letters, reports, and proposals--is critical because it reflects an organization's commitment to quality. You'll be able to achieve this accuracy if you commit to learning and then using the guidelines and strategies offered to you. In each section you'll find exercises and activities that will strengthen your proofreading ability in such troublesome areas as grammar, punctuation, spelling and usage, capitalization, and numbers. You'll learn the rules that are appropriate and correct for today's office communication and how to avoid the blunders that cost time and money. "Powerful Proofreading Skills" is not only useful for individual study, but it is also ideal as a resource guide in workshops, seminars, and as a desk reference.
