This is the perfect class for anyone who
knows nothing about Word, or has used Word for a little while, but needs
to learn how to do more. We will take you from knowing nothing to writing
an actual business letter in about an hour.
First, we show you how to start Microsoft
Word, and go over the different parts of the screen: the title bar, the tool
bars, the menu bar, the document area, and so on.
Then, we'll teach you how to customize
Word to make it a little easier to use. The default options for Word can
be a little odd, so we'll show you how to change the Zoom Ratio to make
the text easier to read. We'll make sure you're in the correct print layout
view, turn the task pane off, and fix your toolbars so they're
easy to work with.
Next, we'll start writing a business letter
for a fictional company. We'll discuss entering text, editing text,
spell-check-on-the-fly, clippy, moving the cursor (the insertion point) to
edit text, backspace v. delete keys, moving around with the arrow keys,
and more. We'll also talk about the on-the-fly grammar checker.
We'll teach you how to split a large
paragraph into two. We'll teach you about non-printable
characters, and how to view them on the screen.
We'll show you how to insert horizontal
lines in your documents, and discuss some of the AutoComplete
options.
In lesson six we'll go over all of the
different ways to format your document. We'll show you how to highlight
(select) text, change the font type, font size, bold, italics,
underline, justification, color, and so on. We'll also teach you how to create
bulleted and numbered lists.
We'll even teach you about mail and web
hyperlinks.
Next we'll show you how to edit your letter
like a pro using cut, copy, and paste.
We'll also show you how to move words and
paragraphs around without having to use cut and paste.
We'll also teach you about one of the best
features ever to have been added to a program: undo.
We'll cover saving your document to
your hard drive. We'll show you several ways to load your document
back off the disk. We'll also teach you how to save multiple copies of
your document so that you can save different versions.
We'll show you how to print your
document and go over several different printing options.
We'll teach you all about the power of
Print Preview and how you can shrink your document down with just one click
to get rid of those annoying "short" last pages.
Again, this is the perfect all-around
program to teach someone the basic, fundamental features of Word. It is perfect
for new computer users, people new to word processing, secretaries
who need to learn basic letter writing and editing, and anyone who wants to
sharpen their Word skills.
Word 2007 Basic
Level 1 Course
Description
This course is for the novice
user who has little or no experience with Microsoft
Word. We will begin by learning about the parts of the Word interface, including
the new Ribbon. We'll learn about all of the different components
of Word, including the Quick Access Toolbar, Status Bar, Zoom controls, and so
on.
You will learn how to properly
and efficiently type text in Word. We'll be writing a business letter
in this class. You'll learn about word wrap, backspace, delete,
spell-check-on-the-fly, indenting, and more.
Next you will learn how to
edit your document. We split large paragraphs up, and merge smaller ones.
We'll learn about the non-printable characters (the paragraph and tab symbols,
for example). You'll learn what a Hard Return is.
We will next learn how to
create a bulleted list, add words to our custom spell-check dictionary,
and put a closing on our letter.
You'll see how to add a TO
and FROM address on your letter, insert line breaks, horizontal lines,
and what the difference is between "ignore" and "ignore all" in the spell
checker.
We'll learn how to format
text properly. You'll learn how to select text with your mouse, use the floating
mini-toolbar, set bold and italics, text align right and center, and how
to change fonts and font sizes.
Of course, we'll learn about
changing our text color too!
Next we'll learn about one of
the most useful features in Word called the clipboard. We'll learn how to
cut, copy, and paste text. We'll also learn how to undo mistakes.
You will learn how to save
your documents to your computer's hard drive so you can load them up
later. You'll also see how to save your document with a different filename, so
you can make copies of them.
Finally, you'll learn how to
print your documents, set different printer options, perform a quick
print, print preview, and send your documents via email.
Again, this is the perfect
class for anyone who is new to Microsoft Word 2007. If you have little or
no experience with word processing, or you just want to get familiar with how
Word 2007 works, this class is for you. You should have some basic knowledge of
Windows beforehand, but we'll teach you everything you need to know to
use Word to make simple documents.

Yes, that's right. Most of our

excellent tool to follow along with as you're watching the video
lessons... or you can pull them out at any time after you're
finished watching the video course to review concepts you
might need a refresher on.
Normally, these Handbooks sell for
a several dollars each above and beyond the cost for
the video tutorials. But as part of this
