Word 2010 Beginner Course

overview

Create and share great-looking documents using the comprehensive set of tools in Microsoft Word. InterAction courses are packed with practical lessons and simulation that were developed in Australia - so yes you will be listening to Australian voices! Now you can access the same self-paced learning InterAction has been delivering to Corporate and Government organisations across the world for 25 years. Up to 85% of our screens are interactive, ensuring that you are constantly involved and thus motivated to learn. You can also start by completing an optional interactive pre-test which identifies any skills gaps you may have, and then recommends the most appropriate modules that you need to concentrate on to round off your knowledge. If you are an intermediate or advanced user, you will be directed to the specific topics that will supplement your existing knowledge.

Audience

You might be a new, intermediate or power user, or a user migrating from an earlier version. We assume that you also have the basics of operating your PC and Windows.
