Subject: Re: Problems at work Author: Zoe-Lou [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:28:09 01/03/09 Sat In reply to: k 's message, "Problems at work" on 16:45:12 12/02/08 Tue Hey! I'm totally with you on this one! I will read letters and emails over and over again thinking they're fine - send them out and then "d'oh!" the next day! I find it helps to take a long break from the material you have written and then return to it (preferably a day later) with a 'fresh' mind. You will probably find that you will be able to spot more mistakes this way. It definitely helps with me. Good luck! Zoe-Lou x [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Problems at work Author: Ross Simpson [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:37:54 01/05/09 Mon I have the same difficulties you mention, and a couple of things that work for me are: - When using email, wordprocessor or powerpoint, I use only Trebuchet MS or Arial fonts, with at least size 11/12. - I try to type the message straight out, letting the spell checker catch the reversal of/missing letters, and then SLOWLY re-read the entire document looking for errors. Still, I sometimes miss things, so don't be disheartened, sometimes a little joke about it to those that are concerned helps them understand. Good luck !
