See how it works
Each lesson has a practice computer beside it. You copy each step, and the course tells you when it is right. This is a real lesson, sped up.
Build a contents page that updates itself.
A video course: you watch. A SchoolRegistry short course: you do the task yourself on a practice computer, and the course checks it as you go.
Who it is for
People who finished Word 1 and write long documents or letters to many people.
What you will be able to do
- Use heading styles and a contents page that builds itself
- Send one letter to a whole list with mail merge
- Review a document with comments and track changes
By the end you will turn a long, messy document into a professional one, with heading styles, a contents page, page numbers and a landscape page, and you will send one letter to a whole list, review changes with others, and reuse your work with templates.
How it works
Each lesson starts with a short video. Tolu, your guide, shows you what to do and says it in plain words. You practise on a real-looking Word, with Tolu guiding each step.
You work on a practice computer inside the course, so you cannot break anything. More than 75% of your time is hands-on practice, not watching.
Every lesson is split into steps, and a row of step bars shows where you are. If a step is too hard, press Skip and come back to it later.
