ICDL Word: A step-by-step guide to Word Processing using Microsoft Word

Learning Microsoft Word is easier when each task builds on the last. In ICDL Word, Conor Jordan guides readers through the core word-processing skills covered by ICDL/ECDL Word Processing Syllabus Version 6.0, from creating a document to preparing it for printing.

The manual is designed as a practical companion for students and teachers. Its step-by-step approach connects everyday Word tasks with the skills learners are expected to understand, making it useful for guided study as well as a handy reference while practising.

Build confidence with the essentials

Readers work through the basic functions of Microsoft Word, then put them to use creating and formatting documents. The guide also covers creating and formatting objects, helping learners explore more than plain text on a page.

Go beyond typing

• Learn core Microsoft Word functions and document creation.
• Practise formatting documents and objects.
• Explore mail merge, page setup, and printing.

Together, these topics introduce a useful workflow: shape the content, arrange the page, and prepare the finished document for output.

A companion for ICDL learning

The manual is intended to help learners and teachers understand the syllabus and the Word features associated with it. It includes revision sections for practice; these are not official ICDL tests. The book also describes downloadable work files for practising techniques without first having to create every exercise document from scratch.

For students building foundational word-processing skills or educators supporting structured practice, this guide offers a clear route through the essential tasks of Microsoft Word.
