Learning/reviewing the basic functions in Microsoft Word can help you perform your job more efficiently and professionally. Specially, understanding essential tools like formatting, text, using styles, inserting table or images, creating headers and footers, managing page layouts, spell check, track changes and comments not only enhances collaboration but also saves time and improves the quality of your documents.

Although I have been using Word for many years, I have developed bad habits from never having formal training. This course is a great way to be more efficient with Word.

I am very familiar with Microsoft Word as I use it daily, but there were still some things that I didn't know and was able to learn from this course. It was very thorough.

I've been using Word for years, but there were definite gaps in my knowledge base. This course filled in those gaps. I can definitely apply what I've learned here in my work and personal documents.

This course is nothing special. It covers arguments, you can find online. Furthermore, it has just a document, where you can test the lesson you learn.

It has been very helpful. I mostly already know how to use Microsoft Word, but it has reminded me of features I had forgotten about. It has also shown me a few features I did not know about.

I thought I had a pretty good working knowledge of WORD. Wow, I had no idea just how much I didn't know!! Great pace, easy to follow. I really feel like I learned a lot and have so many more tools to me, to make a strong presentation now.

I enjoyed the course and learned additional functions on MS word that I have never used for even thought of using. I wasn't aware of all of the features that word has. Great instructor he is very easy to understand and follow.
