Word processing makes the writing and altering of scientific articles faster, easier, and more accurate. Personal computers that are ideally suited to this use are now available. The major problem affecting the veterinarian who wishes to purchase a personal computer word processing system, is that of spending the time to acquire sufficient information in order to choose the computer and the programs that will be appropriate to his or her requirements. These will include the specialized word processing demands of scientific article writing and many other applications, as applicable. Despite this obstacle, the acquisition of a personal computer and a suitable word processing program, soon results in time saving. The use of the computer for many other tasks logically follows. An additional benefit is the understanding of computers, their abilities and their limitations--a decided benefit in the 1980s.
文字处理使科学文章的撰写和修改变得更快、更容易且更准确。现在有了非常适合这种用途的个人计算机。对于希望购买个人计算机文字处理系统的兽医来说，主要问题在于要花费时间获取足够的信息，以便选择适合其需求的计算机和程序。这些需求将包括科学文章撰写以及许多其他适用应用的专门文字处理要求。尽管有这个障碍，但购买一台个人计算机和一个合适的文字处理程序很快就会节省时间。自然而然地，计算机也会被用于许多其他任务。另一个好处是对计算机及其能力和局限性有了了解——这在20世纪80年代是一个明显的优势。
