The 5 Golden Rules

When typing, only leave one space between words.

If you use any punctuation, it must come right after the word. Then leave one space before starting the next word.

Do not press the ENTER key at the end of each line. The computer moves words to the next line on its own. Only use the ENTER key if you want to make a new paragraph or a new line for a poem.
Never use the space bar to move writing over. Use the TAB key only to indent at the start of a new paragraph. Use the “center align” button to move writing to the center of the page. 

Save your work regularly. Every 5 minutes is a good idea. When saving work, make sure you give your file a unique name.
