Microsoft Word is a powerful word processing program, but most beginning users are either not familiar with or reluctant to use Word’s wide range of features. This is a hands-on class. The instructor will provide pre-typed documents, and students will provide their own laptops, curiosity and questions. Students will learn basic tips for inputting, formatting and editing Word documents. Some of the topics covered include shortcut keys, navigating the ribbons and dialog boxes, formatting paragraphs and adjusting layouts, creating and manipulating tables and using the quick access toolbar and features for editing and tracking changes. The pace of the class will be determined by the students. Students should know how to download, open and save their documents. They should be familiar with their own laptops and aware of where their documents are located/saved. Review exercises will be emailed after each class to practice what was learned in class.
NOTE: This class is based on Microsoft Word for PCs. Students will need to bring in their laptops preloaded with the documents they have downloaded from my emails and saved in a familiar location for easy retrieval.
