Your Certificate — Word: Starting a New Document

You've just completed Word: Starting a New Document — and you should be proud. Most folks never sit down with a goal to learn something new on the computer. You did.

Now it's time to show off. Here's your certificate:

Now Comes the Fun Part — Practice

Open Word and try what you just learned. Start a new document. Pick blank. Open a different one and grab a template. Mess around without worrying about messing up — nothing breaks. Knowing the steps and doing the steps are different things, and doing is what makes them stick.

When You're Ready, Take the Next One

Starting a document is just the beginning. The next two short courses round out the everyday Word toolkit:

Word: Editing a Document

Selecting text, formatting (bold/italic/underline), cut/copy/paste, undo, find & replace — the core skills you'll use every time you write.

Word: Saving a Document

Stuck on something specific?

If Word is acting weird, you can't find a button, or something just isn't clicking — drop by Skits' Office and ask. I'm happy to help. Or if it's bigger than a quick question, talk to Jerry — he does on-site tutoring for individuals or groups, exactly this kind of thing.
