Free Microsoft WordŽ Training Courses


These Microsoft WordŽ training courses are presented free for the enjoyment of CADCourse.com customers. They were originally created about six years ago while Rob Berry was running his own training company in South Africa. The PDF files have been reformatted to print on Letter size paper (8 ˝ in by 11) but do contain references to metric and regional settings within the text.

Each course was designed as one-hour training session, usually presented by a trainer to a single student. The courses show basic "need-to-know" ideas behind the MS Word product. Over the years these ideas have remained more-or-less constant and the core concepts are still very similar to methods used in today's more recent versions. We feel confident that, even though the screen images and menu items relate to earlier versions of MS Word, the reader will still be able to benefit from the notes. Enjoy!
