Course Length:
1 day
Course Description Overview:

After you master the basics of using Microsoft® Word such as creating, editing, and saving documents; navigating through a document; and printing, you're ready to move on to tackling the more advanced features. These features enable you to create complex and professional documents with a consistent look and feel. They also enable you to automate tedious tasks such as preparing a letter to send to every customer of your organization.


Creating professional-looking documents can help you give your organization a competitive edge. Implementing time-saving features such as document templates and automated mailings helps your organization reduce expenses. Mastering these techniques will make you a valued employee in your organization.


Note: Most Office users perform the majority of their daily tasks using the desktop version of the Office software, so that is the focus of this training. The course material will also enable you to access and effectively utilize many web-based resources provided with your Microsoft 365 subscription. This includes brief coverage of key skills for using Word for the Web and OneDrive®. Helpful notes throughout the material alert you to cases where the online version of the application may function differently from the primary, desktop version.


This course may be a useful component in your preparation for the Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365 Apps): Exam MO-110 and Microsoft Word Expert (Microsoft 365 Apps): Exam MO-111 certification exams.
