Basic Word Processing with Copy & Paste (level 1) [Course 57]

Three 2 hour classes for $22.50

Outline

Beginners may learn basic common text editing techniques. You will learn to enhance your emails using the Rich Text format in the "Compose Message" windows of the email program that you use; it could be Gmail, or Hotmail or Windows Live Mail. We could possibly use WordPad for users of web based email if this is desirable. The idea is that you will learn these techniques in the email program you normally use.

Uses for This

• This course is basic preparation for text formatting; many seniors will not want more. But the next step is the MS Word Basics course in which the skill in this course will be refreshed and extended.

Topics Covered Include

• Selection of text using the keyboard (Shift + arrow key) as well as the mouse
• Font Formatting
• Alignment
• Paragraph formatting
• Copy and paste

Skills Required

Confidence with the mouse and a good knowledge of the key board are really desirable. Participants should have completed Level 1 Computer Basics and Internet/Email basics or satisfy the tutor that they have attained this standard.

Software Required

No special word processing program is necessary for this course.
