10 In both the textbook and the manual certain exercises are marked with an icon and the phrase «Ejercicio también en microdisquete». Web and CD versions have replaced the diskette previously shipped with the textbook for Generaciones. These are text editing exercises best transformed on a computer screen in the word processing program students are familiar with. The files that contain these exercises are gathered from both books into subdirectories labeled with the number of the chapter; editing instructions are given with the Spanish prose text to be transformed as well as some basic coaching on how to take advantage of word processing functions like block moves, spell checking, etc.
