This
course is for the
novice
user who has little or no experience with
Microsoft Word. We will begin by learning about the parts of the Word
interface, including the new Ribbon. We'll learn about all
of the different components of Word, including the Quick Access Toolbar,
Status Bar, Zoom controls, and so on.
You will learn how to properly and
efficiently type text in Word. We'll be writing a business letter in this class. You'll learn about word wrap, backspace, delete,
spell-check-on-the-fly, indenting, and more.
Next you will learn how to edit
your document. We split large paragraphs up, and merge smaller ones.
We'll learn about the non-printable characters (the paragraph and tab
symbols, for example). You'll learn what a Hard Return is.
We will next learn how to create a bulleted list, add words to our custom spell-check dictionary, and
put a closing on our letter.
You'll see how to add a TO and
FROM address on your letter, insert line breaks, horizontal lines,
and what the difference is between "ignore" and "ignore all" in the
spell checker.
We'll learn how to format text
properly. You'll learn how to select text with your mouse, use the
floating mini-toolbar, set bold and italics, text align right and
center, and how to change fonts and font sizes.
Of course, we'll learn about changing our
text color too!
Next we'll learn about one of the most
useful features in Word called the clipboard. We'll learn how to
cut, copy, and paste text. We'll also learn how to undo mistakes.
You will learn how to save your
documents to your computer's hard drive so you can load them up
later. You'll also see how to save your document with a different
filename, so you can make copies of them.
Finally, you'll learn how to print
your documents, set different printer options, perform a quick print,
print preview, and send your documents via email.
Again, this is the perfect class for
anyone who is new to Microsoft Word. If you have little or
no experience with word processing, or you just want to get familiar
with how Word works, this class is for you. You should have some
basic knowledge of Windows beforehand, but we'll teach you everything
you need to know to use Word to make simple documents.
Of
course, if you have any questions about whether or not this class is
for you, please contact me.
