in30minutes: Microsoft Word

Welcome to in30minutes: Microsoft Word. This course will help you learn to use the essential features of the Microsoft Word software application. Since its introduction in 1989, Microsoft Word has grown to become the most robust and full-featured software ever invented for creating print and electronic documentation incorporating text and images.

Content for this course has been developed primarily by Angela Rose, and focuses on the features and capabilities of the 2019 version of the computer-based MS Word application. You will also be introduced to the MS Word mobile application and a free web-based version called Word Online. The course is divided into six primary education modules that you can work through at your own pace.

You will learn:

• the basics of the Microsoft Word interface
• how to navigate through the array of features presented on the “Ribbon”
• how to create, save, print, and format documents
• how to insert images and tables into your document(s)
• the review and collaboration options available with this latest version of the software

As a bonus, with your enrollment you will also receive links to quick reference “cheat sheets” to help you quickly find and use popular features.
