Word: Foundations — LearnFree

LearnFree's Word foundations series is a starting point for learning word processing through practical document work. It suits a learner who wants a guided introduction before tackling a complicated report or template. Use the series with a document open so that recognizing a command becomes the ability to carry out the task yourself.

What you will learn

• Navigate introductory word-processing tasks
• Practice editing and presenting text
• Build confidence working with documents
• Apply a lesson to a document of your own

Who this suits

Useful for a new Word user or someone returning to office software after a gap. Basic mouse, keyboard, and file-management confidence helps. Work on a copy of a practice document so you can experiment freely and compare the result with the version you started from.

Before you enroll

Word's desktop, web, and mobile interfaces are not identical. Check which version you are using when a control appears in a different place. A foundations series is preparation for more advanced document structure and collaboration rather than comprehensive training for every Word feature.

The LearnFree series is free to access. A Microsoft account or software license may be needed for the version of Word you use; no professional certification is included.

Put it into practice

Create a one-page fictional meeting note, revise its wording, and check that the saved file is easy to locate and reopen.
