Purchase options and add-ons

If you use a keyboard you need this book. Most of us use computers - many of us all the time - but how many of us can type properly? 'When you've learned how to touch type a 3000 word report will take you less than 1 hour to type!' With this book you can learn to 'touch type' in ten hours at a fraction of the cost of a course. It will also take you less time than the average course and, best of all, you can learn in your own home or office. Just think how much time you will save in your working day - and you will be able to concentrate on the content rather than finding the correct letters. Touch Type in Ten Hours contains easy-to-use lessons divided into manageable one hour blocks, and there are plenty of exercises to consolidate what you have learned. There is also a reference guide giving useful 'tips of the trade'. This new edition goes on to show you how to use Microsoft Word 2007 to best advantage. Most of us want to learn all the basics as quickly as possible and in no time at all you should be able to do everything from simple word processing tasks such as moving blocks of text, to more complex tasks such as mail merge, graphics and creating newspaper style columns. Spend a few hours now and reap the benefits for a lifetime, whether you are using a keyboard at work or at home.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"'It has a really simple layout full of 1 hour lessons to type up with a reference guide at the back of the book which is very helpful. Worth the money!' 'This book really delivers on its promises. It cannot help you learn to touch type if you put in no effort, but if you do the basis is there for marked improvement. I couldn't touch type at all when I started using this book and now my technique is almost perfect.'" --Amazon readers

Sidd Artha

Dated, mostly dated

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2010

I have no idea if this is the book that started all those computer applications that teach you touch typing in an interactive environment. The touch typing part is mostly that without the interactive part. The rest of the book, or should I say the larger part of the book, can be resumed as "dated Word introduction guide", which is going to be useless for the next century or so until historians will have a need to understand the old computer interfaces.

Found this very useful in learning how to touch type

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 12, 2015

Found this very useful in learning how to touch type. I wanted to learn how to touch type as I wanted to get a job as a office temp and to speed up typing university assignments. Started off working on a mac book air which was ok but progressed much better and quicker after I purchased a fairly cheap desktop keyboard for £6.00 (which I now plan to use when typing long reports and essays as it is easier then the laptop keyboard). I plugged this into the laptop, I also used a folded towel to keep wrists at the right angle. It was then that I picked up better, I can say that I was able to work through most of the book in a day and a half. I am currently on hour 8, it did teach me how to touch type in 10 hours. However, more practice will be needed to increase speed, I am typing at 30 words per minute which is the minimum requirement for office administrator roles. I am certain higher speeds can be achieved in time through repeating the sentence drills in part 2. Part 3 is also a useful as an introduction to basic Microsoft and there are instructions of proper business document layout, but was not needed by me.

It is a very useful book, it teaches the correct fingers for the right keys, and the correct form when sitting at a keyboard and therefor will increase speed and efficiency. Provided you are willing to follow the instructions, not skip through and keep trying through repetition. It is recommended if you have a laptop to practice on a desktop keyboard.

Highly recommend this book.

Clear, concise, accessible, wonderful!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 8, 2011

Verified Purchase

My daughter cannot wait to get started on her touch-typing. This book is so accessible, it is just exactly what I wanted. The layout is clear, each hour progresses clearly from the previous one, and you can repeat the hour's lesson two or three times until you have perfected it, so that it can be a 20-hour course, or a 30-hour course etc. I did a 10-day course, 3 hours a day, many years ago, at the end of which I could touch-type at 35 words a minute. This course seems to be very similar and my daughter and I are both very excited, as she longs to be able to type properly!

Fatima Rosales Naya

A good introduction to typing skills for adults

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 28, 2013

Verified Purchase

I gave this book 4 stars as the practice exercises can be a bit confusing and difficult to follow, especially since I bought it for secondary school children (aged 12 to 15).
I would have also liked more practice on official documents (memos, business letter, etc)
I think perhaps it is best suited to adults and I would recommend it as such.
