Get more from MS Word
This group is ready to start up again.
Get more from Microsoft (MS) Word is for people who have taken a basic course and then learned further by trial and error. But basic courses do not cover the many quicker ways of carrying out actions, nor exactly how some functions work, nor some of the many other useful functions available. This group will revise basics, but look at aspects of how to get more out of these applications and answer issues that users may be finding unhelpful. This is a professional quality course and contains much more than many popular courses on offer. A comprehensive quick-find on-computer manual is provided.
The course will cover the following features of Word 2007 - 2018 and 365.
• Using Keyboard shortcuts.
• New, opening, saving and deleting files
• Editing text. Highlighting methods. Drag and Drop. Cut/copy & Paste.
• Formatting Font parameters, bold, italic, colour, size, font, sub and superscript, underlines, etc.
• Paragraph Formatting. Spacing. Shading, Soft line breaks and page breaks. Format Painter.
• Bullets and numbering. Borders.
• Headers and Footers. Find and Replace.
• Page Setup and printing.
• Tabulation. Types of tab. Setting and resetting.
• Tables. 3 ways. Formatting within tables.
• Inserting Images and manipulating them.
• Mail Merge. Letters, labels, lists. Selective merges.
• Using the Word Drawing Tools.
The course needs a minimum of 3 up to a maximum of 8 participants to run. The course will run when there are enough participants.
The six (6) week course will run weekly on Wednesdays from 2pm for 2¼ hours. There will be a short break during sessions.
