Microsoft Word Essential Skills
Use Word to create a basic format for academic essays which can be adapted to suit university guidelines and requirements. The focus will be on developing appropriate page layouts including margins, line spacing, page breaks, automatic paragraph styles, headers, footers and pagination. Please make sure that you have the latest version of word downloaded on you device.
