Microsoft Word

I must be honest. When I heard we were going to be working on M.W. for the whole time during class I thought to myself “what a waste of time!” I am paying a lot of money for this! Please accept my apologies Mrs. S. I could not have been more wrong. I can't believe I did not know there was so much about Microsoft Word! When thinking about M.W. the first thing that came to mind was essays and research papers. If I could have described M.W. in one word, it would have been “boring”. I must admit that I was mistaken. I read the application training manual (yep, I actually read it) and checked the videos posted and realized that there is a lot more to M.W. I always wondered what computer program was my son’s teacher using to do all the fun things she has on paper. I thought maybe it is some special thing that just teachers have access to. Again, I was very wrong! It was simply Microsoft Word. I guess I never stopped to try and use all the different components of the program. I wish I would’ve because after all, you can have a lot of good information but if the presentation is dull and boring then your audience will not be interested in reading the content.
