We run three training sessions - one for complete beginners, one for those with a little knowledge of wordprocessing and the third for those who want to know even more. A Beginners' Guide is a 2-hour session designed specifically for complete beginners. An Intermediate Guide is also a 2-hour session. It is targeted at those students who have done a little wordprocessing before, but who want to make the most of Word 2000 for everyday tasks. An Advanced Guide covers a wide range of more specific and complex tasks of interest mainly to postgraduates and staff, including Equations, Mail Merge, Table of Contents, Graphics, Customisation, Styles and Templates.
Participants choose which topics they want to learn in an open learning environment.
It introduces participants to email, showing them how to read and reply to their e-mail, save and delete it, and keep addresses in an addressbook. It introduces participants to the World Wide Web, showing them how to move around and search Web pages and save interesting sites as favourites. Any member of the University can publish a personal page on the WWW, providing it does not break the University rules. Departments, research groups and societies can also have their own special web sites, with links from the main University website. Note that undergraduates are not allowed on the Intermediate training unless they are Official University Information Providers.
