Starting Out with Word

A course designed for those new to or with little experience of Microsoft Word.

The course is designed for those with little or no experience of the software and will give delegates the skills they need to produce well presented documents.

The day will include not only the basic skills but also those all important skills for page layouts, using fonts, paragraph and document formatting, printing skills and viewing work on screen.

The course will include advice on current business practice for style of letters, use of justification and how to get your letter noticed.

Word is a powerful word processing package and its full benefits are rarely utilised. The course will set the framework for enhancing those skills in later more advanced courses.
