Designed to be used with WordPerfect and Microsoft Word, Video Dynamics, Third Edition, simulates a modern business environment where students learn to enter data into business forms using standard office software. Each unit in the simulation represents a different department in the Video Dynamics wholesale/retail operation. As administrative trainees, students learn the complete business cycle as they work in each of the following departments:

• Personnel
• Purchasing
• Shipping
• Payroll
• Retail Sales
• Accounting
• Inventory Control

Students will work in every department of the company using the 25 forms provided, including sales orders, purchase orders, invoices, statements, returned goods vouchers, and purchase requisitions. Four employment forms are included in the book to be filled out by hand. The remaining forms are on the computer disk that comes with the book.

Each unit provides:

• A brief description of the department its function within the company.
• A list of lesson objectives.
• An illustration of a correctly entered business form.
• Detailed instruction on how to correctly complete the business form.

Worksheets have also been provided to give the students practice with different types of business calculations. At the end of the course, a Master Problem provides a comprehensive review of the entire business cycle with a minimum of instruction.

The Instructor's Key is provided free with a classroom order of the text. The key offers the correct answers to all the text exercises on overprinted pages. Examples are reproduced at full size to make grading easier.
