  • Build and format tables, add and crop pictures with alt text, and put together a one-page notice
  • Lay out a UK business letter and a clean CV, make your own templates and run a mail merge to a customer list
  • Check, review and share documents with Editor, comments, Track Changes, the Accessibility Checker and PDF
  • Build clear presentations with placeholders, themes, the Slide Master, sections, pictures, SmartArt and charts
  • Rehearse with speaker notes, present with Presenter view, check slides for accessibility and share them
  • Produce a short work report in Word and a matching presentation of eight slides
Requirements
