I'm an award winning college professor and I have taught students how to use Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint and Excel) for nearly 20 years. One of the biggest complaints that I hear with the current textbooks are the cost. Often, my students complain about having to spend $80-$120 just for the Microsoft Office textbook. I hate that, it's absolutely ridiculous. So I decided to do something about it. I created a Microsoft Office textbook of my own which can be purchased on Kindle for just $9.99 and in print, on Amazon, for just $19.99I also decided to create individual books for Word, PowerPoint and Excel, in case somebody only needed to learn one or two of them. Each individual book is sold at an even lower price, but still teach everything that you need to know about these topics.This book contains step-by-step instructions with illustrations to help you learn Microsoft Word from a college professor, using real-world examples and easy to understand terms. I have taught IT courses for nearly 20 years at the college level. I truly believe that there isn't anybody that I cannot teach as long as they want to learn. I have crafted these explanations and examples over my career in order to make learning as easy as possible. This book begins with the basics including how to create a new MS Word document, how to save a document and so forth. It covers all of the important tools such as The Ribbon and teaches you how to add and delete text, change the text and so forth. It covers some of the more advanced commands such as copy and pasting, adding tables and charts. This book includes a section for properly writing research papers including how to format the papers. The final section covers creating a strong resume and cover letter as well as doing online job searches. I firmly believe that this book can help prepare anybody for an office job using MS Word. This is the PC (personal computer) version of the book.Best of Luck!!!- Prof West
