After our Word 2007 Introduction class, you know the basics. And now it's time to expand your skill set with our Word 2007 Intermediate training, which will give you the added control you want over your documents - especially when it comes to formatting your content, and adding tables or graphics. Specifically designed for students who already have a working knowledge of Word, the Intermediate class covers Word's most powerful formatting tools, such as styles, templates, and the best techniques to apply sophisticated layouts. We'll also teach you how to share your documents with others, safely and efficiently.

Using Styles

One of the most effective ways to ensure polish and professionalism in your documents is to present a unified overall look or style. Word Styles make it easy to apply consistent formatting within and across documents. And you will learn how to control and prevent those unexpected formatting "surprises"! We will take you through how to:

• Create easy-to-apply formats for paragraphs or individual characters
• Create and manage styles in a document, and export styles to other documents
• Save time by setting up custom style defaults that work for you
• View your content in Outline mode or Full Screen Reading mode
• Use the Document Map and Thumbnails panes

Creating Sections and Columns

This part of the training is all about controlling the flow of text in your document. We will look at how to set up "sections" which allow you to easily apply different layouts, headers, footers, and other defaults to different parts of the same document. This is particularly helpful in larger documents: for example, you can use sections to easily separate the formatting of title pages from other parts of a proposal, or set up a different look for the opening pages of chapters in a book. Our experienced instructor will teach you how to:

• Insert, view, and delete section breaks
• Organize pages and sections with headers, footers, and page numbers
• Format text into columns
• Adjust the spacing between columns, and insert and delete column breaks
• Create eye-catching headlines that span multiple columns

Formatting Tables

Tables are another powerful Word tool you can use to structure your content in easy-to-follow, elegant layouts. Word 2007 provides a number of built-in formatting options specifically for tables. And with Word formulas, you can even take your tables beyond text presentation and implement simple data operations without having to leave Word. In this section, you will learn how to:

• Position and fit your text into tables: align and orient text, merge and split cells, change row heights and column widths
• Select your own colors for table borders and cell shading
• Quickly sort data in a table
• Avoid laborious typing with a repeating header row
• Use formulas in tables
• Choose from Word's built-in table styles

Printing Labels and Envelopes

The Word 2007 Intermediate training introduces you to one of Word's main time-savers if you have to produce any kind of mailing like client or student outreach letters. Word can save you hours of work by automating the process of creating the labels and envelopes you need. Find out how to:

• Print labels for a single recipient
• Import addresses from Outlook
• Print an envelope for a single recipient
