Guidelines For Data Entry

Data entry is the act of transcribing some form of information into another medium, usually through input into a computer program. The whole lot of data that people might transcribe includes handwritten documents, information off spreadsheets, and sequences of numbers, as well as computer code and even names and addresses.

1. Space once after a comma (,)

2. Space once after a semi-colon (;)

3. Do not space before or after a hyphen (-).

4. Space twice after a colon (:)

5. Space twice after the punctuation (. ? !) at the end of a sentence

6. Space once after a period (.) used with initials or titles

7. Space once before an open parenthesis [ ( ] but do not space after it  

8. Space once after a closed parenthesis [ )] but do not space before it.

9. Do not space between the number and the number sign (#). (The sign before a number means number and after a number it means pounds.)

10. Space before and after the ampersand (&).

11. Do not space between the dollar sign ($) and the number.

12. Space once before and after the "at" symbol (@), except in e-mail addresses.
