Advanced Microsoft Word Course

Why Attend

Microsoft Word enables you to do far more than simple word processing. Word includes
advanced image manipulation tools, collaboration features, cross-referencing and linking
tools, entry forms and data collection, security features, and tools to automate document
production.

This course is for individuals using Word 2016, 2013 or 2010 and is taught using Word 2016
software. However, there are very few differences between the 2016 and the 2013 and 2010
versions from an end-user’s perspective. Our instructors have used all 3 versions and will be able to
quickly highlight the several small changes to the user interface. Users of any of the 3 versions of
Word will have no problem learning in the 2016 software environment.
