I'm a self-taught typist too, but only coz my Mum was learning years ago (on a proper typewriter), and I sneaked a go with her pitman books. Essentially, the 'e' and the 'r' should both be typed with the left hand. E with middle finger and R with index finger. Always keep your fingers on (left hand) a,s,d and f and j,k,l,and ; (right hand) as a base and then the fingers will naturally drop onto the right keys . . . well I say that, but it does take a bit of persistence! Hope that helps - now go and practice!! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

DM, part of my job in school is Word Processing, but I am self taught too. All I can say is thank goodness for the spellchecker ad I seem to become dyslexic when it comes to typing! |

I was taught to touch type in my teens and it's so strange - I don't really think about what I am doing at all, I always look straight at the screen! It's a bit like trying to describe HOW you tie your shoe laces......... one hint though, Dinahsmum - keep you finger nails quite short - if I don't I get all sorts of strange letters coming up! |

Hehe I trained as a secretary after I left school so I did the whole touch-typing thing. I still type properly even now although I do all the common mistakes, am just very fast on the backspace key ![]() We were taught the way that has been mentioned already - the position of your fingers on certain keys, then you move around from there - over and over and over until it becomes second nature. I agree on the nail thing too ![]() ![]() |

Hehe I was taught to type at school on the "old" typewriters. We used to get our knuckles wrapped with a ruler for looking at the keys ![]() ![]() |
