Microsoft Word for Writers, with Don Lesser
Learn the tips and shortcuts that help writers work more efficiently! In this workshop, writers will master the tools in Microsoft Word that make their creative lives easier—spacing, formatting, styles, section breaks, page numbers, and headers and footers. In addition to these critical skills that help with drafting, we’ll also cover the tools that are critical for editing, such as track changes, comments, and markups. This class is suitable for Windows and Mac users but will be taught on a Windows computer. Easy translations for Macs will be provided! At the end, each writer will go home with a full manual of tools to simplify their writing process!
This workshop will be held online.
Saturday, September 25, 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. ($50)
