    During the course you will continue to use your previous knowledge of Word to learn the following:

    • Using and editing tables
    • Other Word functions, such as using columns
    • Understanding how to use templates, and editing them to create your own documents
    • Taking information from other sources, and using them in your documents

    You will also learn to use some of the other Microsoft applications, such as Excel and PowerPoint, as well as using the College on-line learning environment to access resources and develop your computer knowledge.
