Word processing tasks require both data entry and data retrieval. The user spends about half of the time viewing the monitor and the other half at the source document. Therefore, the placement of the monitor, keyboard and the document holder are all equally important. Text entry requires equal use of both hands for keying, so the keyboard should be directly in front of the user and at a comfortable height.
