Work Smarter, Not Harder: Creating Documents Using Built-In Features – November 13, 2024

Program Description

Recorded: November 13, 2024: Creating a quality document involves more than typing the right words. We format our documents to make them easier to read and more appealing to the eye. We often see an extra space between paragraphs to create a clear break. Or we may move a section to the next page so a sentence or two is not hanging out alone. The ‘Tab’ key is also used to move text around the page. Formatting documents this way can create challenges if you need to edit the document.

Word processing programs have built-in features to create seamless formatting. This webinar will walk you through these features and explain how they make document creation and editing easier, saving time and limiting frustrations. For this session we will be showing the features in Microsoft Word, but they are in most word processing programs.

Join us and learn how to work smarter, not harder!
