Elstree Film Studios - Training Courses - Microsoft Word Training Course

Today it is extremely rare that you will not have the opportunity, or need, to use Microsoft Word. Microsoft Word has become the standard in word processing and is used in almost every instance of document creation; be it letters, invoices, orders, reports or CV's. All office based employers expect their employees to have used Word as a minimum requirement; most of the Microsoft office suite that relies on any kind of text input will use the Word interface, so mastering the functions that help you to produce professional documents within Word is not only important for Word itself, it can make a huge difference to the output of many other Microsoft and Word compatible products.

In any role which requires you to communicate using Microsoft Word, it is vital that you are able to produce polished, sharp and professional documentation. Considering the myriad of the software's potential uses, it is important for any user to truly understand the program in order to achieve a professional result. It is all too easy to struggle with the seemingly simple task of altering line spacing, replacing text, numbering pages or paragraphs, bullet pointing, adding and resizing images, creating and editing margins and so forth, to say nothing about merging addresses, using special characters, creating and formatting tables or importing and exporting information for use with other software applications.

Most training available for Microsoft Word is, at best, basic. We, on the other hand, know that to truly master the software and begin creating documents which will stand out from the crowd requires a much more detailed understanding of all that Word has to offer, which is why our Microsoft Word training course is ideal for for those of any experience level.

For the duration you will be introduced to all of the features of MS Word with practical hands-on exercises to take you through each scenario you will face while working with templates or files and saving and storing your documents. You will be tutored in a small group with time for tailored advice ensuring that you gain the most from the expertise on offer, with freedom to focus on aspects of the software relating specifically to your needs.

Duration: 1 day.

Prerequisites: To gain the most from this class, it is essential that you are familiar with Windows, including creating, deleting and moving files and folders. You must be comfortable using a keyboard and mouse.
