Microsoft Word Training

Introduction

Microsoft Word is part of the “suite” of applications called Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office clearly has the largest market share for integrated office applications at a whopping 79% (according to PC Data). The 2 largest competitors, Corel and Lotus come in at a very low 6% and 4% respectively.

Microsoft Word is a very user friendly and stable word processing application. This series of lessons presents a variety of information about Microsoft Word from the basics to the advanced. It by no means covers all there is to know, but it does cover the basics of a lot of topics.

You may be a new user of Microsoft Word, or you may be an experienced user. There will be something here for everyone. Work through the parts of this training packet that you think will benefit you most. You may start at the beginning of this packet and work through it or, if you know some of the information in the packet, skip it and do those sections that you do not know.

There is an accompanying floppy disk that you will need for many of the lessons. If the lesson begins with “Open the file…,” then you know to use the floppy disk to begin the lesson.
