Course Description

Most professionals are self-taught in Word. They know how to enter text in a document, how to add formatting characteristics to the text, and how to save and print the document. Some have advanced their skills to include creating tables and pasting Excel charts and spreadsheet data into their documents, but few have mastered some of Word’s most fundamental tools – styles, quick parts, automated table of contents, and footnote creation tools – that provide more polished, professional documents in a fraction of the time. In this session, we will examine some of Word’s best and most powerful features to make you more productive.
