how to use typewriet?

Answer 1

Sorry, but I think you need to learn how to properly spell and write in the English language. That's more important than knowing how to use a typewriter. I'm not saying this in a mean way -- just an HONEST way! :)

Besides, does anyone even use typewriters these days? Everything is done on computers.

Answer 2

First of all people do still use typewriters. I know only the older will know how to operate it or even know what it looks like. It is odd but in some offices they do still use it, not very often though. Is your typewriter a manual or an electric? If it is a manual put the paper in between the rubber rolling pin at least that is what it should look like. It should be right in front of a metal plate above the keys. You can turn the knob which should be on the right or left side of the machine. If it is an electric hit the button that says **** the paper should automatically roll upwards. For the manual the paper should also come up out of the bottom. Put your hands on the keys and start typing. To go the next line hit the shift it will roll upwards or automatically move upwards. When you are done the electric you can keep hitting shift and it will automatically roll up and out same with the manual. I hope this helps coming from a lady that now feels "elderly".

A typewriter is a more artistic tool than you might imagine. It takes your own guidance to put in the paper (not too far to either side); and your own typing to put the words on the paper. Some electronic typewriters do a bit of formatting for you, but definitely no mechanical ones. You actually have much MORE freedom - to backspace and add characters on top of each other - than you do with any computer! This helps with languages which use complicated characters with odd accents or other marks - e.g. the crossed 'I' in occidental Guaraní. Mechanical typewriters also help develop better finger muscles than computer keypads do. On any more-or-less normal QWERTY keyboard, rest your two index fingers on the F and the J (which often have little raised spots on them just like on computer keypads). Then - write something. The more you use it, the better and more intuitive you will get!!

Answer 4

There are times when a typewriter is my preferred medium for writing too.

The keyboard will look very like that of a computer, except without the hotkeys and number pad. There will be a roller across the top that you thread the paper into to type. And there should be an inked ribbon to make the letters when the keys strike it.
