Description

Many of us have used Microsoft Word for a long time already. We feel we know this application, but do we really? How often do you have issues when creating a document? Why does Word seem to jump around? Why is your formatting at times inconsistent for no reason whatsoever? How do you get your tables to display correctly in a document? And what if you want to add a blank line below a table? Why is it so hard to move your cursor outside of the table boundaries? Why does inserting an image changes the formatting of the document?

If any of these questions seem familiar, then this is the course for you!

During this student-led training we will aim to address all these questions to facilitate your usage of Microsoft Word.
