Discover how to use Word's really useful built-in features that work to automatically format your document for you.

Using these built-in features will ensure consistency throughout your document and save you having to manually update your work. This is especially useful when dealing with long, complex documents, and working to tight deadlines. 

Topics covered include: styles; automatic table of contents; multi-level lists; page breaks vs section breaks; headers and footers; arranging tabular data; and working with images.

Book onto this workshop through CareerHub or visit the Student Services Hub in the Silberrad Student Centre (Colchester) or the Forum (Southend).
