Anatomy of ANI-WP System Part III - The Keyboard
Article Abstract:
A keyboard is an essential part of a word processing system but is generally ignored. All keyboards have alpha-numeric keys, as well as control and function keys. Keyboards have special features for text entry and editing which, depending on the system, may be file management functions, column relocation, merge and search capabilities, numbering, spacing, and alignment. No keyboard can be used to its maximum potential without some training. Design, color and control functions vary from system to system.
