for MS Word
This Workbook is perfect for medical transcription training programs at community colleges and technical schools, distance learning programs and other certificate programs for medical transcription.

The workbook focuses on keyboarding skills instead of the mouse for maximum efficiency while typing. Overall, the curriculum is designed to show the student of MS Word how to apply the many techniques available in MS Word to their daily routine for maximum productivity. The MT's Guide and the Workbook use specific examples from the field of Medical Transcription.
Each lesson includes an introductory paragraph, a reading assignment from The Medical Transcriptionist's Guide to Microsoft Word, 3rd Edition, a list of learning objectives, sample videos from the MT's Guide Tutorial CD, review questions, and hands-on exercises. The Workbook provides ample space for answering the review questions, and the answer key is available in the back of the Workbook.
