Microsoft Word allows users to type, format and edit text to create documents that can be printed or viewed electronically. It is a great tool! I use Word for many purposes including work related tasks, class assignments, as well as personal purposes such as a creating and updating my resume as well as my cover letter for future job opportunities. The formatting styles feature available in Word make it easy to set up an entire document. It allows you to create neat and well presented documents. One of the advantages of using Microsoft Word is that it is available practically everywhere. Word comes standard on many computers. You can typically find it on your work computer, computers at school and your home computer. This makes it easy to save documents on a flash drive, take them with you and work on them somewhere else. If you need to do some work, you can usually find a computer with Word on it. Another benefit of using Microsoft Word is that it easily integrates with other Microsoft Office programs. For example, if you have a spreadsheet that you created on Microsoft Excel, you can easily paste it into a Word document. You can work with programs such as PowerPoint as well. This makes it possible to complete a varity of tasks without having to spend time converting documents. Another advantage of word is Document Flexibility. Word lets you create simple word-processing documents like letters and reports and make them as basic or as creative as you would like. You can add color, use clip art, write in a variety of fonts and sizes, and use tables, borders and bullet formatting. Word also offers templates to help you create numerous other documents, such as calendars and greeting cards. I believe that most of us are probably already using Word, but if it is something that you are not familiar with you should absolutely give it a shot! It will help you to create a strong resume and update it with ease as we continue with our education and land our dream jobs.
I like how you didn't just stick with Microsoft Word, that you incorporated all the other Microsoft Office programs. You went into a lot of detail. Which would be wonderful for someone who really didn't understand what they were doing, or needed help!
ReplyDeleteI love using Microsoft Word for writing my papers for school. There are so many things that you can add to your papers by using Word. I like too that when you have a paper that has to be a certain length or word amount it lets you know how many words you did and how long you paper is. It sounds simple but these are also useful tools for writing papers. I agree with the possibilities it has with helping write your resumes. It can really spruce up your resume.
