OSHER 230 - Creating Documents with MS Word

Computers open a world of possibility for creating documents that reflect our purpose and convey a message beyond the words we use. Imagine a letter to a friend with a decorative border or with favorite photos embedded right in the letter. Create a professional letter with your own custom letterhead to send to your insurance provider or to a company you're doing business with that has your main points highlighted in bulleted or numbered lists, tables, and special fonts. In this class you will learn to do all of this and more using the premier word processing program, Microsoft Word. The computer labs are equipped with state-of-the-art PCs and each student will have a computer station. A basic familiarity of PC-based computers is needed to benefit from this course. If you are new to computers, take 'Learn to Use a Computer and Love It' first. Students can take this course repeatedly to continue to hone their skills.
