Word XP

Introduction

IT can offer great productivity benefits, if people have the right skills to use the packages available to them. 28% of companies in the UK lack employees with the IT skills to meet their business objectives.

Create professional-looking documents with Word XP. Learn the basics then take advantage of Word’s more advanced features and functions, from inserting headers and creating tables to using templates and smart tags.

Well-presented, accurately written documents improve the credibility of your business and can help to communicate who you are as a company.

Who is the course for?

This course is ideal for people responsible for producing written materials, such as letters, reports and business correspondence. It is suitable for staff at all levels, from company directors and line managers to administrative and customer service employees.

The easy-to-follow, step-by-step format is perfect for people who are completely new to Word, while the high level of detail will suit those who have a basic understanding, but want to learn more about the different features and functions.

There are no formal entry requirements, but some experience of using a computer and Microsoft Windows is expected.

To get the most from this course access to Microsoft Word is advised. For a different version of Word, we also offer courses in Word 2000 and Word 2003. To learn how to use word processing for a variety of tasks in the office or at home, why not consider ECDL 3 - Word Processing, which can be used to work towards the ECDL qualification.
