Managing Long Documents MS Word
Long text documents, like dissertations and theses, can be difficult to take control of. In this hands-on workshop, you will explore and apply a number of techniques in MS Word.

This workshop is appropriate if you are writing (or about to write) your dissertation or thesis, or if you have other tasks that require you to tame thick tomes of text.
