USE OF WORD PROCESSORS ENCOURAGED
*****
THE FINANCE BRANCH TODAY STARTED A SERIES OF SEMINARS TO ENCOURAGE THE USE OF WORD PROCESSORS THROUGHOUT GOVERNMENT. AS A MEASURE TO IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY AND TO CONTAIN THE GROWTH OF THE SECRETARIAL OR CLERICAL STAFF ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CIVIL SERVICE.
THE SEMINARS BEING HELD FOR DIRECTORATE OFFICERS WILL ALSO EXPLAIN HOW THE WORD PROCESSOR CAN BE ACQUIRED UNDER A SIMPLIFIED FINANCIAL PROCEDURE.
IN ADDITION, THERE WILL BE SLIDE PRESENTATIONS AND A DEMONSTRATION OF THE NEW MODEL APPROVED FOR USE IN GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS.
THE FIRST SEMINAR WAS OPENED TODAY BY THE DEPUTY FINANCIAL SECRETARY, MR SELWYN ALLEYNE.
A GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN SAID THAT 62 WORD PROCESSORS HAD SO FAR BEEN INSTALLED IN 26 DEPARTMENTS, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN PRODUCTIVITY AND SAVINGS IN STAFF TIME.
THE WORD PROCESSOR IS USED FOR HANDLING LENGTHY REPORTS, CONTRACT AGREEMENTS, AND STANDARD PAPERS FOR COMMITTEES WHERE ACCURACY AND PRESENTATION ARE VERY IMPORTANT OR WHERE CONSIDERABLE REDRAFTING IS REQUIRED AND ONLY LIMITED TIME IS AVAILABLE FOR PRODUCING FAIRED COPIES, HE SAID.
