"Taking Control of Microsoft Word"

by Hilary Powers

Program Description

Using Microsoft Word for your documents? When it comes to producing and editing text, Word is often the required tool — and it's a very good and congenial tool for the purpose, too, once you have it listening to you instead of trying to think for you.

In this session, Hilary will focus on ways to make the most of Word's useful features and get it out of the second-guessing business.
