Word Processing Operator
Word processing operators type, edit and print documents,
using computers with word-processing software applications and
printers.
Word processing operators may perform the following tasks:
- plan and set out the format required, such as page
length and width, line spacing and style of typeface, for
letters, business forms and other documents
- type and re-arrange information, such as highlighting
parts of the text, moving paragraphs from one page to
another, putting information into columns
- transfer data from audio tapes into letters and reports
- set up mail-merge functions to enable multiple letters
to be personalised or directed to individuals in a number of
locations
- make alterations to information already stored on a
computer
- print out letters, address labels and other documents
- perform clerical duties, such as filing, answering the
phone, despatching mail
- perform switchboard or reception duties.
In some offices, operators spend all or most of their time
doing word-processing work. They may work alone or in a group
with other operators. It is standard practice for operators to
take regular rest breaks in order to minimise the occurrence
of repetitive strain injury (RSI) to their arms and hands.
