Microsoft Word for Beginners Section 1 [S-26-31]

Microsoft's Word is the standard for word processing, or writing. This class will teach you, step by step, how to use Microsoft Word: how to open it, how to enter information, how to change fonts, highlight text, indent with tabs, and make bulleted lists. Please note this is a course for members with some computer skills who are unfamiliar with or have never worked with Word. A laptop is required.
