Indexing must be 100% correct before you can alphabetize the names when alphabetizing is required.
Exercise Tip 3Whenever you are alphabetizing a group of cards,
drag the first card to the lower left edge of the screen—this is position 1. Move the next card behind it. When column 1 is full, move the next card to the bottom of column 2.
Exercise Tip #4—Key to IndexWhenever you index by keying a name, each
letter must be keyed correctly; spelling counts; capitalization does not count as an error.
Do not key punctuation marks as they are not an indexing unit.
Close up space between words within a single indexing unit. For example: Key InAndOut for the name In-And-Out
Exercise Tip #5—Report Sheets: Simulation Directions for the
Simulation Report Sheets may be incorrect. If you get a mistake by keying just the card number, key both the card number and name in the correct indexing order (e.g. punctuation and spaces removed in names).
