"Taking Control of Microsoft Word"

by Hilary Powers

A Door prize will be given at the end of the presentation.

Program Description

Using Microsoft Word for your documents? When it comes to producing and editing text, Word is often the required tool - and it's a very good and congenial tool for the purpose, too, once you have it listening to you instead of trying to think for you.

In this session, Hilary will focus on ways to make the most of Word's useful features and get it out of the second-guessing business.

About our Presenter

Hilary Powers, author of "Making Word Work for You: An Editor's Intro to the Tool of the Trade," has been freelancing as a copyeditor and developmental editor since 1994. Almost all of her 450-odd projects have been onscreen, and she's used each of them to research ways to work with her computer and not just on it.
