Your back should be resting firmly against the back of the chair. You should be able to reach the keyboard without needing to stretch forward, a chair with wheels (such as a typical office chair) provides this mobility. Your arms should be relaxed and elbows should be slightly bent, move your chair closer to or further from the keyboard as required. Place your hands over the keyboard and curl your fingers, do not bend your wrists. Avoid resting your palm, as this causes your wrist to bend (you can use a keyboard pad or wrist rest if you need to raise and rest your palms). ### Steps to type in capital letters. 1. **Step-1:** Type the following text. 2. **Step-2:** Click and hold the mouse left click at the beginning of the text, drag the mouse to the end of this line (text) and release the mouse click.
