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 advanced course is designed to help power users leverage Microsoft Word to its full potential. You'll learn to use SmartArt graphics and electronic forms, secure your documents, techniques for complex documents, increase automation with macros, and much more.

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

After completion of this course, you may be interested in our Microsoft Teams Essentials 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.
