Weekly eTip — Advanced Word features

I know basic features of Word but would like learn more advanced features without having to sit through a lot of training. What do you recommend?

ITS recommends its short mini-sessions, which are often available, as well as videos, demos and tutorials that Microsoft offers free of charge. See a variety of excellent short videos on:

  • Opening Word really fast;
  • Using office.com templates;
  • Convert a list into a table;
  • Make bulleted list more interesting;
  • Cropping pictures to shapes;
  • Zooming with your mouse and more.

All videos are three minutes or less.

The next ITS Word mini-session is Tuesday from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and will feature Word Graphics features, including working with photos, text boxes, diagrams and more. Feel free to bring your own documents to “dress up.”

Contact klaursen@unmc.edu if you have requests for additional Word training.
