Whether you are an executive secretary or a website designer, you’ll need to know the ins and outs of electronic word processing.

Microsoft® Word is designed to help you move smoothly through the task of creating professional-looking documents. Its rich features and powerful tools can make your work easy, and even fun. In this course, you’ll learn how to use Word to create and edit simple documents, format documents, add tables and lists, add design elements and layout options, and proof documents.
