In this practical session, Hilary Cadman will show you how to work faster and smarter in MS Word using styles. She will first cover the basics of styles – what they are and some easy ways to apply them to your text – then move on explore some of the many benefits of using styles in Word. Hilary will also introduce another simple but powerful tool: a textexpander. The session is aimed at beginners. However, editors who are experienced in using styles or a textexpander may find new ideas for how to get the most out of these tools and boost their productivity. Hilary will supply notes and test documents, giving you the opportunity to try out the techniques demonstrated (either during the session or later, at your own pace). You’ll leave with practical tools that you can immediately put to use, to speed up your editing and improve consistency across projects.
