Course description
This course will focus on the use of tables, which are vital if underused tools for adding structure to your Word documents. This course will demonstrate the full array of tools used to insert and modify tables and also look at the ready-made graphics and objects available for users of Word as well as icons, illustrations and document items.
Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.
Prerequisites
This course assumes that students are familiar with the basic use of Windows and common use of the mouse and keyboard. No prior experience with Word is assumed.
