GET READY: Creating and Formatting Documents in Word

When:
Venue: Birkbeck Main Building, Malet Street

Book your place

Many assignments at university will be submitted online, and in many cases, you will be expected to use Microsoft Word or a similar document application to write your assignments.

This session will consider the key procedures for creating and formatting documents in Microsoft Word, including fonts, paragraphing, spacing, margins, and headers/footers, as well as naming and saving files. It will also cover some useful additional features such as page and section breaks and styles, how to add footnotes or endnotes, and how to insert page numbers. This will give you all the basic tools you need—and more—to ensure that you can create and format Word documents both efficiently and effectively, and thus present a professional and polished assignment to your lecturers.

This will be a practical ‘learn by doing’ session, based on PC computers (not Apple/Mac). Please feel free to bring along your own laptop if you prefer.

Please note that this session takes place in person at Birkbeck.
