Microsoft Word, or simply "Word" is a powerful word processing tool that is widely used in various fields, including law, business, finance, and science/engineering. Proficiency in Word can significantly enhance a student's productivity and employability. However, mastering Word requires proper guidance, practice, and most often a substantial project where one has to begin thinking "outside of the box". I included the PDF to the 2010 Bible below because it is the most comprehensive free reference available when using the application and it will give you an extremely solid grasp of the application upon reading it.
