Microsoft® Word enables you to do far more than simple word processing. Word includes advanced image manipulation tools, collaboration features, cross-referencing and linking tools, entry forms and data collection, security features, and tools to automate document production.

This material will benefit users of any current Office version. The course setup is based on Office 2021. This course covers Microsoft Office Specialist Program exam objectives to help you prepare for the Word Associate (Office 365 and Office 2021): Exam MO-100 and Word Expert (Office 365 and Office 2021): Exam MO-101 certifications. This course is intended for students who want to use more advanced functionalities in Word, including image manipulation, collaboration and revision tracking, cross-referencing and linking, document security, forms, and process automation through macros. In this course, you will learn to use the advanced capabilities of Word 2021. You will: • Use images in a document. • Create custom graphic elements. • Collaborate on documents. • Add reference marks and notes. • Secure a document. • Create and manipulate forms. • Create macros to automate tasks. This course requires that you have Microsoft Word installed on a Windows PC. The course setup instructions provided in the first module of the course go into more detail about the hardware and software requirements.

You have seen how styles and themes can change the look of your document. You can add images to your document to provide additional information and visual appeal. The image should supplement your text rather than take away from it. In this lesson, you will add and adjust images in your Microsoft® Office Word document.

In addition to robust image-processing capabilities, Microsoft® Office Word also includes extensive drawing and graphics capabilities. Custom graphic elements enable you to position text boxes at any location or orientation in your document, and add a wide variety of shapes.

For many of the Microsoft® Office Word documents you create, you may be the only person making changes to the document. Other times, you will need to work in a collaborative environment where others will provide feedback and document changes. In this lesson, you will use Word features that make this shared work more efficient.

Microsoft® Office Word documents can become quite complex, consisting of a large array of tables, figures, footnotes, endnotes, and other supporting components, including references and links to other publications. Word provides a variety of features for managing these references and links.

After you finalize your Microsoft® Office Word document by adding reference tables and other features that give your document polish, you may want to distribute it to others. Before you do that, you need to know that sensitive information has not been saved with the file, and to take measures to prevent unauthorized access or changes to the contents of the document.

In your work, you may need to collect the same type of information repeatedly from coworkers or customers. Forms are a familiar and standard way of gathering the data in a consistent manner. Electronic forms can easily be filled out and sent through email to the right person. You can use Microsoft® Office Word's forms feature to consistently capture and collect standard information.

Microsoft® Office Word includes a huge array of features that help you accomplish a wide array of tasks quickly and efficiently. However, as powerful as it is, there are times when you might wish for a particular feature that isn't available in Word.
