Summary

We’ve dealt with how to get data into a computer and how to manipulate it once it’s there. In this module we’ll concentrate on how you can present it to the people who need to look at it.

At one time this would have been a simplequestion to answer: either print it out on a black and white printer or send it on disk. However, now the choice is much wider and deciding which presentation method to use is not that easy. But when you take into account why you need to present information, the range of choices does narrow down.
