Start typing and learn as you go
You are going to find that learning Microsoft Word is much like learning other types of word processing software. This is the basics of what Word does anyway. You use this software to write letters or other text documents, and then you can also use it to modify it in any way that you want. Just opening the program can tell you a lot about how it works. The cursor is usually automatically blinking on the page when you choose to create a new document. Just start typing and you will see what this program can do.
Word is automated
Learning Microsoft Word can be done simply by using it. Once you start typing, as mentioned above, you are going to see a few things that the program does automatically. These basics are important and also make your life so much easier. If you misspell something, the program will underline it. You can either fix it on your own, or you can use the spell check option. This is something you are going to find under one of the pull down menus at the top of the open program. Click on the spell check and it will give you options for the misspelling. You click on the one that you meant to type and the program changes it for you.
Save often
Other basics of learning Microsoft Word include how to save, print, and email you document when you are done with it. If you are smart, you will go through all of the options you can find under the ‘file’ option on most versions of Microsoft Word before you do anything else. When you start a new document, use the ’save as’ to name and save your file. Save often as you go because any computer can shut off at any time and you want to know you saved before that happens. You can also see options to email your documents when you are done, and also how to print. Each is very self explanatory if you go through them step by step.
Advanced
Once you are done learning Microsoft Word basics, you can go on to learn the more advanced options on your own, or you can find some other type of help. There are web sites and other programs that you can find that help with learning Microsoft Word from the comfort of your own home or from your desk at work.

Take the time to learn all that it can do and you may find that you can not live without it in both your personal and professional life.
