Proofreading Skills Keyboarding Objective Interpret Proofreader Marks

What is proofreading? Proofreading is the process of comparing a copy on screen or paper to the original copy and marking errors to be corrected. Proofreader marks are symbols that are used to mark corrections and changes to a document. Proofreader marks are found on the rough draft of a document.

Proofreader Marks Replace

Proofreading Steps 1. Use your word processor’s spell check and grammar check 2. Proofread the soft copy 3. Proofread the hard copy 4. Switch with a partner 5. Edit your document

Step 1: Use Spell Check Spell check is the word processing feature that checks your document for incorrectly spelled words. It checks every word in your document against an electronic dictionary and identifies any words that it does not recognize.

Will spell check find all keying errors? Spell check will not find: Homonyms – words that sound the same but have different meanings Examples: to, too, two your and you’re their, there, and they’re Names and addresses that are not in the computer’s dictionary Omitted words – words that have been left out but are needed in order to make a sentence make sense Punctuation and capitalization errors Spacing errors

Step 1: Use Grammar Check Grammar check is a word processing feature that checks your document for grammatical errors. Use grammar check to find: Incorrect use of homonyms Subject/verb disagreement Grammatical errors found by grammar check can be identified by green squiggly lines under words/phrases. Although very helpful, grammar check may not find all grammatical errors. You still need to proofread your document to make sure that it makes sense.

Step 2: Proofread the Soft Copy Read the copy on the screen slowly, word by word. Proofread for meaning. Things to look for: the spelling of names and addresses number and capitalization errors spacing and punctuation errors

Step 3: Proofread the Hard Copy Proofread your document again after printing it. There may be errors that you find on the printed copy that were missed on the screen. Proofread for: meaning possible formatting and alignment errors

Step 4: Switch With a Partner Peer editing is when someone else proofreads your work with you. Allowing someone else to review your work can be helpful because: your partner may find errors that you missed your partner may offer helpful suggestions to improve your document

Step 5: Edit Your Document Editing includes: correcting errors updating a document to make it visually appealing Editing is the process of correcting or making changes to a document.
