text: for rental, purchase and maintenance of word-processing equipment. (b) Paper savings: There has been no measurable impact on the use of reproduction paper. Both technical and psychological problems have delayed the use of photo-reduction in the production of documentation in general distribution. While progress has been made in the in-house use of photocomposition, its use has thus far been restricted to documents which had heretofore been typeset. (c) Further applications: The entire area of microfiche and archival sub-systems remains to be explored, but real progress has been made in the elimination of repetitive keyboarding. For example, ~he proposed budgets for both the biennia 1982-1983 and 1984-1985 were photocomposed internally in English and Spanish from word-processing diskettes. Moreover, external typesetting of the 1984-1985 proposed budget in French from diskette, instead of typescript, has resulted in savings on proofreading, as well as typesetting. A further example is the annual Round-up of Resolutions, which this year was released in January. The early release of this document and substantial labour savings in the Department of Public Information were possible because the text of the resolutions of the thirty-seventh session of the General Assembly, amounting to over 500 pages, was transmitted in electronic form from the Department of Conference Services to the Department of Public Information. 3. word processing has demonstrated its potential in the documentation process. Results provide a more legible product, and will continue to produce substantial economies. It is recommended, therefore, that the introduction of these techniques at Geneva now proceed. It will be recalled that paragraph 29.63 in the proposed programme budget for the biennium 1984-1985 indicates: •At the time of preparation of these estimates, the question of the introduction of word processing in the Conference Services Division, Geneva, was under study. Consequently, a separate 
analysis: The text discusses the implementation and benefits of word-processing technology in the documentation process within an international organization. It highlights the potential for cost savings, increased efficiency, and improved legibility of documents. The text also mentions the use of technology for specific tasks such as typesetting and proofreading, and the transmission of large documents electronically.
