Overview

In this course, you'll learn how to use Microsoft Word to create and edit simple documents; format documents; add tables and lists; add design elements and layout options; and proof documents.

These days, most people take electronic word-processing for granted and we expect to use a computer to create the majority of our documents. Microsoft Word is designed to help you move smoothly through the task of creating professional looking documents.

Target Audience:

This course is intended for students who want to learn the fundamental skills of working with Microsoft Word, such as creating, editing, and formatting documents; inserting simple tables and creating lists; and employing a variety of techniques for improving the appearance and accuracy of document content.

This course is suitable for anyone using Microsoft Word 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 or 365. If you’re attending at a QA location, the course will be delivered on Word 2019.
