NEW! Word – Building Professional Documents Part 2

Is it right for me?

Our Word – Building Professional Documents Part 2 course will show how to produce templates and documents which are easy to create and simple to modify.

Using powerful tools such as styles, cross references, document properties and fields enables you to focus on content leaving Word to ensure the formatting and numbering is accurate. Mail merge enables you to personalise documents and emails for a more professional approach.

You should be competent in using a PC for general business use.
