20	Error Marking If you have any scoring errors in the Errors box, you need to edit the document as shown in the next slide. An error in red indicates a typo; blue indicates a word to omit; green indicates a word to insert.

26	Formatting Errors GDP does NOT score formatting! The document below had zero scoring errors even though two formatting errors were made. This document processing job would be assigned a “C” grade due to the two formatting errors
27	Document Grades
28	Five Proofreading Checks Five documents have been designated on the Assignment Sheet as a Proofreading Check. Each Proofreading Check document must be proofread with 100% accuracy and have zero scoring errors on the first scored attempt to earn an A in proofreading. This proofreading check grade is in addition to the usual document job grade. If any typos are scored, a grade of zero is assigned for proofreading resulting in a 1% deduction from the final grade average. To make up a lost point, click Create to retype the document again, starting from a blank screen.
29	Proofreading Checks If a document has been designated as a Proofreading Check on your assignment sheet, you must have zero scoring errors on your first created attempt to receive credit for proofreading.
