[QUOTE="donna723, post: 513097, member: 1883"] Star, I think data wpm minute is doing lots of numbers and doing them very fast. I've been typing since I was a teenager, spent all my working days typing, and I never could do numbers without looking! Can you use one of those big ol' office calculators without looking, or use the number keypad on the side of your keyboard without looking? I'm another one who learned to type in high school on old clunker manual typewriters with blank keys! We had a chart of the keys up on the board and we were supposed to look at that and not our hands. That was back in the days when we had to use carbon paper and typewriter erasers. I HATED that teacher! She would walk around the class and yell at us if our fingers weren't perfectly arched or our feet weren't flat on the floor or if she caught us looking at our hands! The ol' bat! She would probably be spinning in her grave if she could see me kicked back in the recliner with the laptop! When my son took it in school they called it "keyboarding" but that may have changed again by now. Some of the adult education programs teach it too. Once you have the basics down though, the rest is all practice practice practice to build up your speed. [/QUOTE]
