Module 9:  |
Advanced Word (.5 unit) |
Introduction: |
Most people can use Word for common
tasks but haven't mastered two of the really useful components of words
- tabs and tables. As professionals in agricultural and extension
education, you are often expected to layout information for reports in
an attractive manner. By using tables and tabs you will have maximum
control over how to lay out this material. One of the easiest ways to
evaluate the expertise (or lack of expertise) of a person who claims to
be good at Word is to see how they lay out a table. Nine out of 10
people do it incorrectly. You don't want to be one of those nine.
