Training Room 1: Introduction to Microsoft® Word® 2007

 

In INF1030: Word Processing 1 you discovered the advantages of having basic word-processing skills. You have probably used those skills to do your school assignments, write letters and reports, create posters with graphics, and maybe even to create a table for your science lab results. By now, you may have realized the benefit of developing more advanced word-processing skills to make document production faster and easier, and to make your documents more professional-looking. The more you work with Microsoft Word, the more features you will learn. You will start to notice all of the practical uses of these features in your personal life, at school, and as you start preparing for your future career.

 

This course is an intermediate-level course that will lead you towards becoming certified in Microsoft® Word®. When you complete INF2050: Word Processing 2 and INF3060: Word Processing 3, you will have learned and practised the skills required to become a Microsoft® Word® Certified Application Specialist, a highly distinguished and well-known designation in all industries and corporations.

 

Ensure that you work carefully through the training rooms and let your teacher know if you need help. You can repeat the training rooms until you are comfortable with the skills being taught. If you have experience with word-processing software, a review can help you discover alternative ways to perform tasks and teach you shortcuts that will speed up your work.
