Microsoft Word To Your Mother

cartoonsbydouglasorleski.wordpress.com
The focus of my online learning this week was the basics of word processing. I have used Microsoft word for many things over the years and played around with the functions. Overall my experience has been fairly simple and usually limited to just creating a basic word document, like writing a paper for school or creating a letter.  However, this week I learned so much about the unbelievable amount of things I can do with this program.

My course readings taught me a great deal about how to create documents quickly and edit them.  There are so many tools available now to make everything easy.  I even did my own research from there and found so many online resources with tips and videos on Microsoft Word. You can even use Word to create a greeting card! Who knew? Here is a video I found about how to do just that.....



I even benefited from reading over the basics in this lesson, such as "Up to speed with Word 2007."  http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/up-to-speed-with-word-2007-RZ010066490.aspx

My online courses will certainly be much easier now that I've completed this lesson. Perhaps now I'm up to speed with my eight year old!
