Word Report Writing

This is for you if your appetite has been whetted by the Intermediate level.  In this course, you'll learn more skills to help create longer documents such as training manuals, guide books and documents of more than 30 pages.  You'll have met and used "styles" in the Intermediate level, and now you'll delve even deeper, discovering even more ways to use them.  Are you including photos in your work?  Learn how to add captions to them and then create a table of figures.  This course gives you the competitive edge when producing your Word documents.

Who is this for?
This course is aimed for those who write and produce lengthier Word documents and need more tools and techniques to manage these efficiently.  Typically these are documents such as reports, manuals or training guides.  You should be using word on a day to day basis and be comfortable with most of the content of the Everyday Word course.

What does it cover?

By the end of the course, you'll have covered the skills to give you a competitive edge, enabling you to produce a document equivalent to the manuals that are provided with the course.

How long is it?
1 day or can be split into several sessions if required

Where is it run?
On your premises or via one of the training centres I use.
