Bespoke Microsoft Word - Introduction

Course Details

Microsoft Word is the world's number 1 word processing application. Word documents are so ubiquitous that they are almost a IT standard in themselves. But Microsoft Word is a whole lot more than a simple word processor. It is a communication tool that allows you to share information in attractive and presentable formats. You can create comments and revisions in the proofing stage of document creation and control your documents' distribution and access rights. Word also contains many tools for creating attractive documents that integrate not only text data but also elements from other Microsoft Office applications.

In this 1 day introduction to Microsoft Office, you will focus on learning the basic range of Word features that facilitate the production of high-quality business documents.

By the end of this course you will be confident in using Word along with resources from other Office applications to create and distribute professional documentation.

Course Target Audience and delegate prerequisites:

You will need basic PC or Mac skills, including a solid understanding of a computer's operating system (Windows or Mac OS). You will also need to know how to launch a program, create and save files, and copy files from CDs and other media.
