Hi,
I have a desktop that is formed like the letter "L". On the right side of
that "letter" is all my data equipment, and things like the Optacon, a
Perkins Brailler etc. are on the left one. Yesterday afternoon I sat down
in front of that side and started to check three unopened printed letters
archiving two and putting one in the paper destroyer, which is an electric
one that can be bought from many shops that sell office products. Perhaps
there is a better word than "paper destroyer" for this device, but anyway.
And yes, I've written about the same thing even before (smile).
One thing that satisfied me once again was that even though I am not a
fast Optacon reader at all I was able to get access to the main contents
of these official documents in order to decide what was worth archiving
and what wasn't without performing scanning on any of these letters. Being
familiar with the standard layout of such documents I knew where to look
for the most relevant information without reading the entire stuff.
Fortunately, most of the authorities follow that standard. As far as I
know, these standards are, or have been, national. They have made it
possible to post letters in windowed envelopes instead of using address
labels. When posting domestic letters I use the same method even when
returning a filled form. I just put the address page on the form page and
put the pages into the envelope, and the recipient's address is always in
the middle of the window. Without a standard page layout that wouldn't be
possible without a lot of adjustment and testing, so thanks to the
standard layout (smile).
