About the MOS: Microsoft Office Word Expert course

Microsoft Word is far more than a typing tool. Publishers, law firms, schools, government departments and corporate offices rely on its advanced features to produce long reports, contracts, manuals and bulk letters that look consistent and can be updated quickly.

This 24-hour MOS Word Expert course builds on Word Associate skills and follows the skill areas of the Microsoft Office Specialist Word Expert objectives. You learn to manage templates and the Organizer, compare and combine documents, restrict editing and protect files, and use advanced Find and Replace with wildcards and special characters. You create and modify custom styles and style sets, build an index, captions and a table of figures, and work with building blocks, Quick Parts and fields. Mail merge for letters, labels and envelopes, forms with content controls, and recording simple macros complete the course. Each feature is practised hands-on with real documents, in the classroom at CADD centres or in live online classes.

Expert-level Word skills suit documentation executives, legal assistants, academic writers and senior office staff. Your counsellor can advise on taking the Microsoft Office Specialist exam.
