Microsoft Word Task

I found the Microsoft word task relatively basic and simple throughout exercises 1 and 2. This was due to the fact that I had already had prior knowledge from previous experiences. This included text adjustment, copy and pasting, saving documents and inserting bullet points.

However in task 3 and 4, I ran into a bit of trouble. I firstly read how I had to add text into the header and footer of the document. I had no idea at first but after some common sense kicked in I was on my way. Double spacing was another technique I was unaware of until I played around with some different options for a while.

Track changing and mail merging were a different kettle of fish altogether. I had no idea these tools even existed, but thankfully due to the clear tutorial instructions and the practical Microsoft Word usability, I was able to figure it out.

In the future, these new skills will definitely come in handy and it is easy to see how they are useful in everyday tasks such as writing letters.
