OBJECTIVES

 Many of us will end up wasting at least 1.3 year's worth of our working lives through ineffiicient use of Microsoft Word*.  Investing a morning in taking this course will help you to use Word far more efficiently and show you the best ways to address relevant issues, such as dealing with columns of figures and making document formatting quick and consistent.

* Completely spurious statistic, made up on the spot (but probably an underestimate!).

This is delivered as an online course using a narrated, high-definition screen recording. This allows an individual to access the course from anywhere, as often as they like, within the month. Full notes are provided together with a comprehensive practice workbook and also email access to the speaker to answer queries. 

WHO WILL BENEFIT?

This course is aimed at all Word users who wish to ensure that they possess the skills and knowledge required to use Word efficiently to deliver a high-quality result. It covers a range of skills and techniques of particular relevance to those working with financial information and producing professional documents.

No particular prior knowledge is required. Examples will be based on the latest version of Word but where an earlier version (2007 onwards) differs substantially this will be highlighted on the course. The course is based on the use of Word for Windows rather than Word for Mac and, although the content might still be useful for Mac users, they should ensure that any key features are available in the version that they are intending to use.
