Training needs analysis

If you have specific requirements regarding the training programme, we will carry out a training needs analysis for you. This will guide us on which aspects of the programme should receive greater emphasis, so that the training programme meets your specific needs.

What will you gain?

icon

Faster work in Word - You will customize the Ribbon, Quick Access Toolbar, and document views to match your workflow, so you can reach key commands faster and reduce unnecessary clicking.

icon

Precise text formatting - You will use superscript, subscript, small caps, justification, spacing, and advanced lists with confidence, so your documents look clean and polished without manual fixes.

icon

Better document structure - You will master sections, headers, footers, footnotes, bookmarks, and cross-references, making it much easier to build long reports, manuals, and multi-page documents.

icon

Automatic tables of contents - You will create, update, and refine tables of contents and list levels on your own, helping you keep long documents organized even after multiple revisions and edits.

icon

Consistent formatting with styles - You will apply, modify, and create your own styles, so the entire document keeps a consistent layout and larger formatting changes can be made quickly and reliably.

icon

Professional visual elements - You will insert and format images, shapes, SmartArt, tables, and charts correctly, making your documents clearer, more engaging, and easier for readers to follow.

icon

Faster document personalization - You will learn mail merge, data source selection, filtering, and merge fields, so you can prepare many letters, envelopes, or labels without retyping the same data.

icon

Reliable print preparation - You will set custom and mirrored margins, page orientation, single or double-sided printing, and file protection, so your document is ready for secure distribution.

Training programme

1. Interface overview

Word can be organized to match the way a user works, which improves speed in extensive document editing. The training covers customizing the Ribbon, adjusting the Quick Access Toolbar, and switching views to support navigation, editing, and review tasks.

  • editing the Ribbon,
  • editing the Quick Access bar,
  • views.

2. Advanced text editing

Precise text formatting affects readability and helps distinguish technical or formal content. This section includes superscript and subscript, advanced bullets and numbering, small capitals and uppercase, Format Painter, plus alignment, justification, paragraph settings, and line spacing.

  • superscript,
  • subscript,
  • advanced bulleting and numbering,
  • small capitals and uppercase letters,
  • format painter,
  • alignment and justification,
  • paragraphs and line spacing. 

3. Advanced document editing

Building a structured document involves more than formatting paragraphs. Participants work with title pages, headers, footers, page numbering, footnotes, watermarks, section breaks, bookmarks, and cross-references to manage navigation, layout, and internal consistency.

  • title page,
  • headers, footers, page numbers,
  • footnotes,
  • watermark,
  • section breaks,
  • bookmarks,
  • cross-references.

4. Tables of contents

A table of contents becomes reliable only when document structure and list levels are set correctly. Here the focus is on creating, updating, and modifying the table, with attention to hierarchy so headings are reflected accurately in navigation and output.

  • creating,
  • updating,
  • modifying,
  • list levels.

5. Styles

Consistent formatting in long documents depends on styles rather than manual changes applied line by line. The section covers applying, updating, and modifying styles, creating custom ones, and using linked styles to control formatting across related content.

  • applying,
  • updating and modifying,
  • creating your own Style,
  • Linked Styles.

6. Elements

Images, shapes, SmartArt, tables, and charts expand a document beyond plain text and support clearer communication. This module focuses on inserting these elements, working with clipart and graphics, and editing visual content so it fits the document layout.

  • adding images,
  • clipart, shapes, SmartArt,
  • tables and charts,
  • editing.

7. Mail merge

Preparing letters, envelopes, or labels for many recipients requires linking one document to structured data. The training explains document type selection, data source connection, sorting and filtering records, and inserting fields to generate personalized output efficiently.

  • selection of the document type (letters, envelopes, labels…),
  • selecting the data source, sorting, filtering,
  • inserting a field.

8. Templates

Templates in Word help standardize recurring documents without rebuilding layout and formatting each time. Participants work with built-in templates and learn how to create their own versions for consistent structure, branding, and reuse across similar files.

  • using built-in templates,
  • creating your own template.

9. File protection

When documents circulate across teams or outside the organization, controlling access becomes essential. The section addresses file protection mechanisms in Word, focusing on how to secure content against unwanted viewing or editing while preserving the document’s intended use.

10. Advanced printing options

Printing settings determine whether a long document remains readable and production-ready on paper. This part covers page orientation, custom and mirror margins, and the implications of single-sided versus duplex output for reports, manuals, and bound documents.

  • orientation,
  • custom margins,
  • mirror margins,
  • single-sided/double-sided printing.
