# Microsoft Word Level I (Self-Paced)

Canonical URL: <https://training-nyc.com/courses/word-level-i-self-paced>

## Overview

Word is one of those programs almost everyone uses and few use well. This course covers the features that matter for everyday work, including templates, spell check, and collaboration tools, along with the shortcuts and techniques that let you produce a professional document quickly. A good portion is devoted to avoiding the formatting problems that make documents fall apart when someone else opens them.

You will also learn to send mass emails, letters, and labels in a single step, and to speed up routine work with keyboard shortcuts. No prior experience is assumed, so it suits beginners and anyone whose Word habits were self-taught and never examined.
