Word Processor Power Tools – working faster and smarter with Microsoft Word
Join us on October 14, 2008, to learn how to turn Word into a tool that works for you.
Even experienced writers and editors tend to master only a small proportion of the tools provided by modern software. That’s unfortunate, since expanding your repertoire to take full advantage of these tools can greatly improve your productivity, your efficiency, and the quality of your work. In this presentation, Geoff will discuss techniques for working faster and smarter with a typical word processor, using Microsoft Word to demonstrate the techniques.
Although the details are specific to Word, most techniques should be easily generalized to other programs.
