Course Overview

This one day course is designed to help Microsoft Word users create professional looking documents which can easily be converted into interactive Acrobat PDFs for print or the web.

The first part of the day is spent on originating documentation within MS Word, while the second half concentrates on successfully converting the documents to Acrobat PDF format. You will learn how to generate automatic links and bookmarks, how to control the appearance of your document and optimise your Acrobat PDF files for print or the web. Feel free to bring your own Word documents if you wish.
