First Day Problem You run a word processing service for law students.
Students drop off longhand or typed manuscripts or leave tapes of oral material to be transcribed.
You and a few part-time employees working for you keyboard the material on hard copy and transcribe the material on tape returning to the customers' diskettes with word processing files, printed hard copy, or both. Your agreement with the customers provides for you to be paid one cent per word. Your word processing software calculates the number of words in a document, and you have written a macro that causes the number of words to be printed on the last page of each document generated for a customer. A person has shown up at your office door and has forced his way into the office. He alleges that the software routine that counts the number of words may be inaccurate.
