We take IT skills in Microsoft Word for granted. It is one of the applications that is used most in the university, however staff and students barely scratch the surface of this complex application and rely on manually manipulating documents, instead of making better use of the built in tools and techniques designed to vastly improve productivity and workflow.

This workshop is for those who are users of Word who want to learn new tools and techniques and apply them to large document creation with a view to reports, assignments and dissertations.
