内容説明
Writing with a Computer emphasizes how computers can help users to writers write more efficiently and effectively. Recognizing that the majority of writers only take advantage of about 10% of the functionality of most modern word processors, the text helps writers explore how other functions of word processors can help them write better and faster. Writing with a Computer also provides detailed discussions of locating, evaluating, and organizing information available on the Internet - with an emphasis on the World Wide Web. Its primary goal is to explore how technology can support the range of composing and information gathering processes that writers use to create new documents. The book focuses on how computers help writers generate ideas; collect and evaluate information; draft, review, revise, and edit text; and design documents; advice on how to keep a computer in good working order as well as how to solve problems is also included. Providing clear guidance on the strengths and weaknesses of modern word processors and operating systems, Writing with a Computer emphasizes how computers can help serve the needs of writers rather than placing that emphasis on software features.
