OSHA Ergonomics Rules Repealed

Don't think that now you can forget about it. The rules would have merely provided added motivation for productivity techniques that you would be wise to employ anyway. In the interest of higher profitability and morale, lower absenteeism and turnover, and reduced workers comp expenses, you should be using training, macros, and templates to save time, avoid rework, and reduce stress and human wear and tear.

Spring Release for WordPerfect Office 2002

The suite "will include many new and improved features designed to make work easier and to save time.
