Course Objectives
This one day course covers word processing essentials and continues on to more advanced commands. The main objectives are to make users aware of how to operate the program at a routine level, to have confidence to use the program on their own, and to be aware of the potential of this powerful computer tool.
Who Should Attend?
The course is aimed at users who have used another Windows word processing program (e.g. AmiPro, WordPerfect for Windows or an earlier version of Word) and are upgrading to Word 2002, or have used Microsoft Word 2002 but have not yet tapped its full potential. The course is not aimed at users who are new to word processing. The topics covered on our "Microsoft Word Introduction" course are an adequate prerequisite for this course.
