Highlights of the fourth edition include a discussion of voice-recognition technology and proofreading plus seven review modules with challenging documents to check and correct.Software TIPS give advice on using software tools in proofreading and editing. Checkup exercises in each chapter offer an immediate test of chapter concepts (answers appear in the back of the student edition). Each chapter ends with six application exercises.
