Customizing Document Layout in Word 2013

Overview/Description
You can use the many layout options in Word 2013 to create flowing, easy-to-read documents with a balanced visual appearance.

Word 2013 also enables you to organize text into newspaper-style columns or even tables. This course introduces all of these concepts and teaches you to align page elements, create and work with reusable pieces of content known as Quick Parts, and create reusable actions known as macros.
