Word processing has come a long way since the early days of the line editor and now provides the workplace with a powerful tool. Word has become a multimedia, internet, and non-linear tool for the office and has the potential to greatly increase worker productivity and connectivity. The focus of this course is how Word can be used to impact workplace effectiveness and efficiency. The hands-on exercises are tied to proven office practices and move through the basics (tabs, margins, formatting) to intermediate (columns, writing tools, graphics) - all focused on making you a more valuable employee. Students taking this course must have access to Microsoft Word 2011 or later on either platform.

NOTE: This course does not provide direct instructor contact; assignments are included in the course to help students process the information learned and will not be evaluated by the instructor.
