About this class
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 one-day, instructor-led course is intended for students who want to use advanced capabilities in Word, including image manipulation, collaboration and revision tracking, cross referencing and linking, document security, forms, and process automation through macros.
Features and functions in Office 365 and Office 2019 / 2016 are nearly identical. For this reason, users for all three versions (365, 2019 and 2016) attend the same class. The instructor will explain the few visual differences in the versions to you; just let the instructor know what version you are using.
