Intermediate Word
Stop formatting paragraph by paragraph. Control documents with styles, build automatic tables of contents and captions, use sections and columns, lay out tables and pictures that stay put, and review, check and share with confidence.
Who it's for
You can write and format a short document, but long ones fall apart: headings are formatted by hand, pictures jump around, and you've never used Track Changes or section breaks.
What you'll build
A 12-page tutoring handbook with a style set, an automatic table of contents, sections, captioned tables and pictures, a tracked review round and a passing accessibility check.
