Why study this course

Microsoft Word is the Office suite’s flagship productivity software. Modern versions of Microsoft Word incorporate many features and connectivity options to make collaboration and production as easy as possible.

This intermediate-level course is designed to help users who are familiar with Microsoft Word’s basic features and wish to take their skills to the next level. You'll learn how to work smarter in Word, master in-built tools to create professional formatting themes, work with tables, shapes, images, styles, and more.

For our introductory course on Microsoft Word, see Microsoft Word - Beginner.

After completion of this course you may be interested in our Microsoft Word - Advanced course or our Microsoft Teams for End Users course.

Note: Word 2016, Word 2019, Word 2021, and Word 365 are all desktop application versions of Microsoft Word. Word 2016, Word 2019, and Word 2021 are the perpetual, bought-outright, stand-alone versions of the software; Word 365 is the subscription-based version. Anyone working with any of these versions will be able to successfully complete this course. Throughout this course you will be using the desktop app; the course does not cover use of the web/online app.
