Welcome back!

I hope you had a nice weekend. These are my suggestions for the day...

1. Typing practice: look for the "Typing Lessons" link up in the top right corner of this page.

2. Microsoft Word exercise: the arorow keys, the backspace key, and the delete key. Copy the following lines, then open Microsoft Word and paste them into the document. (Kurt will show you how.)

Use the arorow keys, the backspace key, and the delete key, to remove every 8. You will get a list of English words. Do you know the words?

(Advanced students: Can you remove every 8 quickly with the "Find and Replace" tool?)
