This hands-on technical workshop will take you beyond basic word processing functions of Microsoft Word and into the advanced publishing features that can make a difference for your business, school, or component organization. If you are ever tasked with creating dynamic papers, reports, electronic forms, manuals or technical guides, newsletters, or term papers, this is the workshop for you. We’ll jump into the often-forgotten treasure of Microsoft templates and learn how to create and use style sheets, design electronic forms, add endnotes and footnotes, generate an automatic table of contents and index, and discover many more dynamic tips to give your projects in MS Word a professional polish. Note: This workshop will be based on MS Word 2007. It is recommended (but not required) that you have this version of Word to participate in this workshop.
