About Microsoft Word

Word is widely used, but not necessarily widely understood! We will show you super-quick ways of creating, editing and formatting your documents so they look the way YOU want, and contain eye-catching content such as title pages and graphics. We’ll also de-mystify the little things that Word does with your alignment and arrangement by showing you super quick shortcuts.

All Microsoft Word training courses are instructor-led at your site or virtual (online) and include course notes and exercises PLUS six months’ post-course support. All courses can be customised to your needs at no extra cost.

Each level of training takes one day.
