MSW100: Microsoft Word- Guided Workshop
Students will learn Microsoft Word’s basic yet essential features by completing weekly projects. The features that we will review in this course are not exhaustive; however, I will try to cover as much as possible. Although we cannot cover every feature due to time constraints, the lessons will focus on skills likely to use in college and a professional setting. I will also teach the students how to utilize the help option as a guide to locating and learning about other features we do not cover in this class.
These are just some of the features they will learn in this course:
- Navigating Microsoft Word
- Inserting Picture and Text Boxes
- Aligning Objects
- Layout Features
- Creating & Sorting Lists
- Working with Headers and Footers
- Watermarks Page Colors & Borders
- Saving As A PDF
- Templates
- Hyperlinks, Symbols & Objects
- Charts & Tables
- Paragraph Formatting
- References
- Review Panel
- SmartArt
- Macros

REQUIRED MATERIAL
You will need to access your student portal every week to complete the assignments and engage in the weekly Zoom discussions. All reading material will be provided to you in your lesson tab. This class involves outside research.
I will provide students with instructions for Microsoft Word for Windows (2016) and Microsoft Word for Windows (2019). However, during our Zoom lessons, I will be using Microsoft Word for Mac Version 16.59. If a student uses any other version, I will teach them how to locate features in the application to help themselves find solutions regardless of the version they use.
