I prefer FileMaker Pro over MicroSoft Excel for much the same reason. I am also competent with Adobe PageMaker 6.0 and Adobe PhotoShop 4.0. Rates vary according to the task at hand, including such criteria as the type of work to be completed, the amount of work to be completed, the number of hours each project takes, and expected deadlines. Printing and paper costs are also figured into the rates. My work for faculty members has taken many forms, including research tape transcription, newsletter design and formatting, designing presentation overheads, textbook word processing and compilation according to publisher requirements, dissertation typing and formatting, web page design and upkeep and miscellaneous report and paper typing.

I have also done some work for students who either do not have access to computer word processors or do not possess the skills necessary for the project at hand. For the most part, my work for students has been in the area of papers and project reports. I have also become the departmental computer problem solver.
