Live Online Microsoft Word Essentials Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 16, 2026 · from USD 800
Inconsistent formatting, manual numbering and messy version control waste hours and make organizational documents look unprofessional. Over five days you move beyond basic typing to building documents correctly from the start, using page layout, sections, headers and footers, and paragraph and character formatting. Structuring sessions cover styles, multilevel lists, tables, captions, cross-references and automatic tables of contents for long reports. You then use templates, building blocks, quick parts, fields, mail merge, forms and recorded macros to automate repetitive work.
Collaboration modules cover track changes, comments, document comparison, protection and co-authoring in OneDrive and SharePoint. Exercises use real-world letters, policies, reports and contracts, so you leave with reusable templates rather than just notes. Administrators, secretaries, executive assistants, report writers, legal and HR staff and anyone producing documents daily will find the skills practical. Afterwards you can produce long, consistent documents quickly, manage reviews with colleagues without losing edits, fix formatting problems in minutes and set up standards that keep a whole team's output tidy and on brand.
