Effectively communicating information

Proofing Tools

Spell-checker

A spell-checker is used to check that everything that is typed in the document is spelled correctly. In Microsoft Word it will also tell you if you have any grammar errors and also when a word is typed in but a different spelling of the word is what was intended. In word if a word is underlined in red it means spelling error, if a green lines appears then it is a grammar error and if it is blue then it means a different word is intended or the word needs a hyphen for it to mean what you want it to.

Thesaurus

A thesaurus is used for finding different words that mean the same thing as the original word you used. This can be helpful as it can prevent you from using the same work again and again such as repeatedly using and or but. Instead you can use also, as well as or including for and. Others for but include; on the other hand, on the contrary, still or although.

Presentation

A presentation can be a handy thing to use when you have lots of information and it allows you to put all this onto separate slides to make the data more presentable. Provided below are examples of one of the ways a power point can be useful

Instead of piling all of my information into one long boring, un-readable paragraph i have spread the info out over 3 separate slides to make the info more readable and more interesting
