Directions: Annotation titles are indexed by general topics followed by subtopics. This
comprehensive list includes comments related to formatting all types of documents taught in
Lessons 1-120 of Gregg College Keyboarding & Document Processing. Comments related to
annotations not directly related to a specific type of document are shown with titles in all caps.
Annotations in blue were actually used in Arlene Zimmerly’s Keyboarding Online course and
may not apply to your course. Specific references to lesson numbers and Reference Manual
pages have been included to encourage students to use their textbooks and GDP as learning tools
to find their own answers.
To build your library, open Instructor Management in GDP. Select the desired class, show the
list of students, select any student, open the Student Portfolio, select any lesson, and view the
detailed report. Click Annotate Exercise, Annotations Library, New Annotation, and copy and
paste the desired annotation title and text from this library into GDP. Edit as desired. This library
will be available for all students in that class.

Please do NOT do any unassigned documents yet!
Instead, spend your time correcting all errors on the
required documents and doing your best to proofread
them with zero errors on the first scored attempt to
build proofreading skill.
You may repeat any job one time to raise your grade,
so don’t be discouraged by any low grades. Edit the
job if it’s a regular job or recreate it if it’s a
proofreading check. If you edit, use the Proofreading
Viewer to correct all typos. If you had formatting
errors, check the Reference Manual, text, and any
annotations below for formatting tips. Scroll to the
very bottom of the detailed report text to see all
annotations. After you edit, upload again.
Type each drill line in a group once and then repeat by
typing each drill line once again. For example:
jamb lamb limb limp lump bump pump jump
pals pale sale same sane vane cane cape
From the menu, click Options, Settings, to open the
Settings dialog box Under Full Editing, uncheck in
Drills.
Type each drill line in a group twice before continuing
to the next line. For example:
jamb lamb limb limp lump bump pump jump
jamb lamb limb limp lump bump pump jump
pals pale sale same sane vane cane cape

You're typing the wrong line. Look at the directions
on the screen at the bottom of the screen and it will
always tell you what page and line to be on. Whenever
you get this many errors, you can be sure that
something is wrong. Try again.

Documents designated as Proofreading Checks serve
as a check of your proofreading skill. Your goal is to
have zero typographical errors when GDP first scores
your document. If you have typographical errors when
your document is first scored, you might want to

Press Enter 2 times after the previous typed line, and
type your reference initials in lowercase, no spaces, no

These reference initials must match the reference
initials typed in Personal Information. In GDP, go to
Options, Personal Information, and click in the “Your
initials” box. Type your initials correctly (lowercase,
no spaces, no periods, and no parenthesis); click OK.
Edit the document and change your initials to match
those in Personal Information. Open, close, and
rescore your document.
When you see “urs” in the textbook, type your own
initials, lowercase without spaces, in place of “urs.”
These initials must be an exact match to what you
typed in Options, Personal Information, Your initials,
or you will have a scoring error.
Remember to use the electronic reference manual in
GDP. Access it by clicking the Reference Manual
button and by clicking GDP, Reference Manual, from
the Word menu when you are inside of Word. You can
also find it in the introductory pages of your textbook

You may resubmit this document one time to raise
your grade. Edit this document using the Proofreading
Viewer. Correct all typos and check the Reference
Manual and the annotations below for formatting tips.
Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of the

edit, upload again and I will replace the lower grade
with the new and improved grade.

Review R-13A-D in the Reference Manual, Lesson 39
in the Word manual, and p. 113, 39H, step 4, for an
explanation of spacing with column entries that
include a $ (dollar sign) and spaces. If the column
entry includes a dollar sign, add space(s) after the
dollar sign to align the dollar sign just to the left of the
widest column entry below it. Add 2 spaces for each
number and 1 space for each comma.

Review -13A-D in the Reference Manual, and Lesson
36 in the textbook and Word manual. Type column
headings in bold upper- and lowercase letters. If all
columns in the table consist of text (words, phone
numbers, or years), center all column headings and
left-align all column entries. In all other situations,
left-align all text column headings and text column
entries and right-align all quantity column headings
and quantity column entries. Regardless of the type of
column, center braced headings.
Review R-13D in the Reference Manual and Lesson

Review R-4D and R-5A in the Reference Manual, and
Lesson 73 in the textbook.
Never take a test on campus until you have
successfully completed the practice test even if it
means taking the test late and getting a 10% penalty.
You have a much better chance of passing the campus
test when you have passed the practice test.
Beginning with Lesson 52, you have a choice to select
either a 5-minute or 3-minute timed writing length.
Select the 3-minute timing in 52-D and for all timings
thereafter.
Skill is built by practicing lesson exercises with
attention focused on the goal of each drill. Taking a
timed writing repeatedly is like a runner taking his
pulse repeatedly to improve his speed and endurance.
The timings are a measure of your progress, but you
make progress by repeating the drills, not the timings.
If you've tried a timing 3 or 4 times and you don't
meet BOTH the speed AND accuracy goal on timings,
move on and repeat skillbuilding for that lesson or use
the Skillbuilding link. After you repeat the lesson
once, take timings again focusing on meeting the
accuracy goal doing the best you can to meet speed
goal; then move on to the next lesson. If your schedule
allows, repeat the lesson as many times as it take to
meet both the speed and accuracy goal.
Don't add trailing spaces at the end of a line. Type the
last character and stop or press Enter to begin the next
line. I don't count off for this type of error, but you
should get in the habit of pressing Enter at the end of
the last character in a paragraph or sentence.

Always edit a document processing job until you have
zero errors. Go to Week 7 and watch the Word
Processing Orientation presentation for details. You
may repeat any job one time to improve your grade, so
don't be discouraged by any low grades. Just repeat
the job by editing it if it's a regular job or recreating it
if it's a proofreading check.
