    You could try your local library. The one I work in has a CD Rom which you can borrow free of charge which tells you how to touch type and gives exercises to follow.
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    You could of course learn by just typing a lot. I am touch typing at the moment it might not be the "correct" way to do it but I have just learnt from doing a lot of typing.

    I taught myself to touch type many years ago by spending £10 on a Mavis Beacon disc. Best £10 ever spent!

    Yes I second Mavis Beacon, she's the one who really improved my plodding typing skills.

    You should be able to pick up a cheap copy on Ebay.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    Mavis Beacon taught my daughter to touch type and she didn't even know she was doing it till I watched her on messenger one evening - I could not believe what I was seeing, she was typing as fast as me and I was trained properly!!
