Microsoft Word Training

Yes.

We provide everyone with a certificate of attendance. This means that you can prove to future employers that you have attended formal MS Word training and gives them confidence about your capabilities.

Our standard training computers use Word 2016 (2019 update).

If you use Word 2019, 2013 or Office 365 don’t worry.

The way that Word looks changes very little between these versions. This means that everything that you learn on our course you will be able to use without any problem.

Also, our trainers have spent years working with these versions of Word. This means that they will easily be able to answer any questions that you might have on the specific version of Word that you use.

We do not have a dress code. Please come wearing whatever you are most comfortable wearing.

Our aim is for you to return to work a faster, more independent Word user.

This means that our courses are deliberately very interactive and involve multiple hands-on exercises. That way you leave us confident in using the techniques and tools that we have taught you.

You are welcome to take the exercises away with you at the end of the day if you would like to. This lets you practise at your own pace after the course.

Yes we do. We offer support for the 6 months after your course.

If you get stuck on something we covered in the course during that period, simply drop us an email or call us with the issue and our trainer will call or email back to explain everything.

Creating a Table of Contents is covered on our Word Intermediate course.

This feature is found at the beginning of the References ribbon.

You will need to apply Styles from the Home ribbon for your headings which are then used to create an automatic Table of Contents.

Mail Merge is covered in our Advanced Word Course.

Mail Merge is used to add variable data to the same document.  For example, you can use the same letter but merge different names and addresses onto it.

Mail Merge is found in the Mailings ribbon.  If you have never used this feature before it’s a good idea to use the Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard on the Mailings ribbon under Start Mail Merge which will walk you through the

Section breaks are covered on our Word Intermediate course.

Section Breaks are used in a document to create different sections or areas. For example, if a landscape page is required in the middle of a document a section break would allow you to do this and not affect the other pages in the document.

The Section Breaks command is found in the Layout ribbon under Breaks.

Fonts are covered on our Word Essentials course.

A font gives text a particular look, size, colour and other characteristics.  Fonts are set in the Font group.

To make a font default, so it doesn’t change, the Font dialog box launcher is used. The launcher is located in the bottom right corner of the font group.

Choose the desired look and select Set as Default located in the bottom left. This can either be done just for this document or all documents from now on.

Document templates are covered in our Word Intermediate course.

When a template is used, only a copy of that file is opened. Templates are original documents that can’t be overwritten.

Creating a template in Word is part of the Save As process.  In the Save As dialog box the option Document Template (.dotx) would be selected from the Save as Type drop-down list.
