This session will be geared to teachers who have limited experience with using Word. We will use Word 2007 and start with the following topics and using feedback from the particpants I will attempt to meet their needs.

N.B. I would suggest for participants who have experience with Word and wish to find out more about the latest version (2007) they should choose from one of the more specific sessions also on offer.
