Registration for this course is closed. 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. Students will learn basic features for formatting and editing Word documents. Some of the topics covered include short cut keys; navigating the ribbon, tabs, and dialog boxes; changing fonts, formatting paragraphs, and adjusting layouts; creating and manipulating tables; using the quick access toolbar; and basic editing features. Classes will include lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises. This course is for beginning Word users, but students must already know how to open, save, and close Word documents and have some familiarity using the program. Before each class, the instructor will email students Word files they must download and save to their laptops to use during class. Students must be able to readily access documents they have saved to their laptops. NOTE: This class is based on Microsoft Word for PCs Version 10 or later. Students must bring their laptops to class with Word files from the instructor’s emails already saved on the laptops and ready to use during class.
