Synopsis

Developing Proofreading and Editing Skills 4e by Camp provides instruction and applications designed to sharpen skills in detecting and correcting errors in written communications including memos, letters, reports, email messages, databases, presentation slides, advertisements, and spreadsheets.

Highlights of the 4th edition include a discussion of voice-recognition technology and proofreading and editing, two applications in each chapter available on CD-ROM, and a series of seven review modules offering challenging proofreading practice.
