Microsoft Word Training

Microsoft Office Training > Word Training

This Microsoft Word course covers training in the really useful stuff that Microsoft Word offers. You will need to have some experience of using Word, say to the standard of being able to produce a letter, but not much more. An ideal day's traing for PAs or admin staff that are being asked to produce long documents, mail merges or even newsletters and other forms of publicity.

Versions 97 - 2010 are covered. To accompany the instructor lead training, each delegate will receive manuals and practise, step-by-step exercises. This will provide an excellent source of information and on-going self study once the training has been completed.

The course outlines is only a suggestion and can be altered to reflect your business needs. You could for example request a half day course on Styles functionality and fill the rest of the day with a PowerPoint course.
