A little story about Rita, a typical student, just finished high school and seeking a job.
Let me tell you about one of our students. Rita (not real name) came to us several weeks ago seeking our help as she could not get a job. She wanted clerical work and had several interviews but none was successful. She failed each time because her interviewer expected her to have some kind of knowledge of Word 2003. She had plenty of computer experience but never studied Word 2003 until she came to us.

Rita attended our Word Training classes for 1 week, did another interview and we are pleased that she is now working in the Financial Services industry. We have had many students like Rita and they all appreciate that without Word 2003 training their job prospects for clerical duties are weak. So we thought instead of people like Rita coming to us we would offer our Microsoft Word 2003 Training Manual to you as a download.

5  Features of Office 2003 You May Not Be Aware Of.

1. On the right-hand side of most screens in Office 2003, there is a Getting Started task pane which allows you quick access to your documents and also enables you to access the Microsoft Office online system. From this task pane you can open new or saved documents, connect to the help section of the Microsoft Web Site and get the latest news about Office 2003. The task pane also contains a search box which will link to the Microsoft Web Site, provided your computer is online. You can enable or disable the Getting Started task pane by clicking on View on the top menu and then selecting Task Pane.

2. The new Research task pane is a very useful method of looking up information from a variety of sources on the Internet. This pane also contains a search box into which you can enter your query. Immediately below the search box there is a drop-down arrow which, once invoked, displays a list of sources, e.g. Encarta Dictionary, Encarta Encyclopaedia, MSN Money Stock Quotes etc¦ The Research Task pane can be enabled by clicking on the small black triangle at the top of the right hand pane.

3. A selection of Templates is now available form the Microsoft Web Site. Type templates into the search box and the Office Online site will produce a list of appropriate results. Some of the templates available for Microsoft Word 2003 include, calendars, business plans, resumes, flyers, presentations, expense reports, forms etc..¦ Why reinvent, when Microsoft has the hard work done for you?

4. Information Rights Management (IRM). Click on File on the top menu and then Permission, and provided you have IRM installed you can restrict access to your documents. A download is available from The Microsoft Web Site. You can create documents with restricted access in Microsoft Office Professional  2003, Microsoft Office Word 2003, Microsoft Office Excel 2003, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003. You can easily prevent sensitive material from falling into the wrong hands even when your documents have been submitted electronically.

5. New Reading Layout view which makes reading long documents much easier on the eyes. Turn on Reading Layout either from View on the top menu or from the Reading Layout icon on the bottom left hand corner. This view also introduces a navigational toolbar at the top which includes thumbnails and a document map.
