Microsoft Word - WordArt and Headings (level 3) [Course 111]

Two 2 hour classes for $15

Outline

This is another course on using graphics in Microsoft Word. The things you can do in Word are amazing; design a logo, enhance you headings, design a leading character for a paragraph, design some fantastic text for a card, an invitation, a book cover and so on; the list is endless and it is fun.

Background

Text programs are "single layer" programs Graphics programs (like Photoshop) are multi layer programs so graphics can slide around on top or below each other. A basic text program cannot handle graphics. But advanced word processing programs have this incredible facility to cope with graphics and wrap the text around them. Controlling this requires some knowledge and expertise; come and learn how, once mastered, the frustration vanishes.
