Very often, the average user of Microsoft Word scratches the
surface when it comes to its features. This is especially so as with
each version of Word, Microsoft adds more and more features, bringing it
ever closer to desktop publishing standards. After this course,

Who Should Attend
This This course is beneficial
Those who are seeking to look "below the surface" when it comes to
producing corporate correspondences should attend this course. It would
also benefit those who want to have an in-depth look at Word.
Participants will need to be familiar with the basic functionality of
Word to maximise their learning in this course. In addition, as the
Mail Merge module touches on databases, some familiarity with either
Excel or Access will be advantageous, although not absolutely essential.
