The computer age has accelerated the pace of communication and thought in a permanent and global way, altering the way all individuals write and disburse information. Relying on the computer as their primary tool, many writers have optimized the process of writing, editing, and revising documents. Providing clear guidance on the strengths and weaknesses of modern word processors and operating systems, Writing with a Computer emphasizes how computers can help serve the needs of writers This is the first book to emphasize how computers help people write more effectively and efficiently. It recognizes that the majority of word processor users only take advantage of about 10% of the functionality of most modern word processors. The book therefore helps readers explore how other functions of word processors can help them write better and faster. Its primary goal is to explore how technology can support the range of composing and information-gathering processes that writers use to create new documents. It focuses on how computers help writers generate ideas; collect and evaluate information; draft, review, revise, and edit text; and design documents.. For professional and technical writers, instructors of writing, and anyone interested in improving their writing and technological skills.

The Bedford Researcher with CD-ROM: An Integrated Text, CD-ROM, and Web Site

With the success of The Bedford Researcher, Mike Palmquist has earned a devoted following of teachers and students who appreciate his accessible approach to the process of inquiry-based writing. Now he brings his proven methodology and friendly tone to Joining the Conversation. While students may know how to send text messages, search for images, and read the news online all at the same time, they don’t necessarily know how to juggle the skills they need to engage readers and compose a meaningful contribution to an academic conversation. Meeting students where they are — working online and collaboratively — Joining the Conversation embraces the new realities of writing, without sacrificing the support that students need as they write for college and beyond.
