Source document note: The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

sub strand name - p.38: the page is headed 'STRAND 3: WORD PROCESSING / SUB-STRAND 1: INTRODUCTION TO MS-POWERPOINT'. The strand name and the codes (B6.3.1.1.x) agree, but the sub-strand name is the one printed on p.37 for strand 2; B4 (p.9) and B5 (p.18) both head the same material 'SUB-STRAND 1: INTRODUCTION TO WORD PROCESSING'.
