Word Extreme
Overview: Want to impress your boss, manager or supervisor with your extreme knowledge and understanding of the workings of Word? This course is designed to benefit Administrative Assistants, Secretaries, Word Processors, or anyone who works with long or technical documents!
-
This training starts off by customizing Word to perform to its’peak ability by fine-tuning the options. Learn to print a list of shortcut keys; plus all the tips we have gathered over the past 15 years of using Word.
- Students will learn to create customize tables using any of the three choices to display information in a format which makes it much easier to read using borders, gridlines, making text wrap with either fixed column width, AutoFit to contents, or AutoFit to window
- If you haven’t dazzled your superiors and cohorts with those new skills, you’ll learn to change the way your table looks by having Word remember the dimension for new tables, repeat heading rows, or use AutoFormat to quickly change the look of each table. Become an expert in understanding the built-in table styles that easily apply consistent looks to the fonts, alignments, borders, and shading of your documents tables. Learn to use the complex mathematical formulas which will impress even the most technical scientist with your skills!
- The most common visual element you will use in Word is fonts. In addition we will cover character styles which store all the formatting for a single character, within a paragraph without affecting the entire paragraph. Students will learn everything they need to know about Serif, Sans Serif, and Decorative, Script, Proportionally Spaced, Mono-spaced and Symbol fonts. Then students will learn to effectively apply shadow, superscript, subscript,
Strikethrough, Double Strikethrough, outline, emboss, highlighting text, engrave, Small Caps, All Caps (and we will touch on hiding text just for the fun of it. Once you know all there is to know about fonts, we will learn several techniques to strip the formatting from everything all at once, easily. Controlling the layout elements such as using the character styles to quickly format, apply pagination options including page breaks, line breaks and keeping text together will also be covered.
- Do you know how Word defines a field? (Not the one you are out standing in either!) Can you create a book mark, cross reference, mark an index, add a footnote or an endnote, captions, numbered headings or paragraphs? Can you convert a footnote to an endnote or visa versa? These are just some of the fields that we will cover in this customized course. Then we will learn to navigate in large, multi-sectioned documents several ways by using the document map, outline view or the browse by button. Compiling an index, generating a table of contents or table of figures or table of tables or creating an index by automatically marking entries using a concordance file?? Sound weird? We learn it all.
- Do you understand sections? Do you know when to insert the sections manually or let Word add them automatically? You can have multiple, defined parts within the same document. Some of the examples would be portrait layout to landscape layout and back to portrait (in the same document); one column layout to multiple column layout (on the same page). Do you use continuous, next page, odd or even section breaks? How do you put multiple margins, different page sizes, page borders, paper sources, numbering and headers and footers? All these mysterious questions are answered in this training. Then once you have multiple sections how do you navigate your document the easiest way by going from section to section?
- How about those headers and footers? Ever have trouble when you inherit a document that someone else has created and you can’t get the headers or footers to work correctly? Maybe you have a title page with no footer or header just a logo, then the body of your document is numbered on the h/f with page 1 of total pages. Then you have an appendix that starts on page 12 and you want it numbered A-1. How do you accomplish all these changes to the headers and footers? Learn to customize word so that it counts the total pages of the section not the document in your header or footer. AutoText, Placeholders, Link to Previous, Show Next and Show Previous will all be covered in this training.
- Bullets and numbers seem relatively simple until you have a document where they become possessed and begin to do their own thing. How are styles tied to bullets or numbers? How do you customize them so that you can quickly reuse. How do you turn on automatic lists? Outline numbering is totally different from bullets and numbers. Can you create a picture bullet or automatically format the beginning of a list item like the one before it? Do you know how to reset the bullet or number gallery position to the default settings? Why does that bullet button hang on to the last bullet you created? Get these answered and more about bullets and number lists.
- Creating an outline numbered list to do a better job at showing hierarchical structure that plain bullets will be one big WOW in this class. How can creating an outline help reorganize or restructure your existing outline by promoting and demoting the styles to top-level headings or sub-headings? You will be able to conceptualize and plan its content easily once we teach you how to use the outlining techniques in Word. How does Body-Text fall into this pit of formation of text? What good is the collapse and expand, drag and drop, move up or move down in outlining? Come find out all about Outlining in Word.
- They say style makes the woman. And style can also make the document. It is a tool that helps you format but it can also be a difficult problem to deal with unless you know the techniques the experts use Let us show you the essential stuff about formatting text using styles; what are the 4 types; where do you find styles; what is sheer formatting versus styles; how do you apply styles; use built-in styles; clear, change or make a new ones; don’t save it to the template, or change it by example? We will teach you how to copy styles to another document, prevent unwanted formatting updates, use the keyboard shortcuts, reveal your formatting or copy a style to another template.
