Q&A/Help Sessions for Microsoft Word Users

If you use Microsoft Word (as millions of Americans do), you may love it or hate it. If you hate it, it could be that you just haven’t learned to use it properly. Word is an immensely powerful application with such a wide range of features that most users never learn to use all of them. The trick to learning to love Word is to learn to use the features that you need.

Most Word users suspect that there must be an easier way to do whatever it is they’re trying to do—if someone would just show them what it is.

You can get free help with your Word problems at the Fairhope Public Library. At 2 p.m. on the third Thursday of every month, Microsoft MVP Suzanne Barnhill will be in the library’s computer lab to answer users’ questions and demonstrate Word techniques.

Here’s all you have to do:

·        Come to the library’s computer lab at 2 p.m. on the third Thursday of any month.

·        Bring your question or problem. For example, bring a question such as “How do I print labels for my Christmas cards?” Or bring a printed copy of a document you’re having a problem with or a layout you’re trying to copy. Better still, bring the document file on a floppy disk or USB flash drive. If you use a laptop, bring it along with the document on it.

Suzanne will stay as long as necessary to answer all users’ questions, but she will not stay if no users show up. If she’s alone in the computer lab at 2:15, she’ll go home!
