Fall 2015 Academic Technologies workshop registration opened this week, and next week brings the first workshops of the semester: Academic Paper Formatting in Microsoft Word and References in Microsoft Word.

Learning how to use Word’s formatting and reference options allows you to meet assignment or publication requirements and focus on research and writing rather than fixing issues in your documents. These workshops are a particularly good fit for undergraduate students, and First-Year Writing Program students are especially encouraged to attend.

Here are the details:

Part of the Microsoft Office suite of applications, Microsoft Word is a popular word processing program used to compose, edit, format, and print documents. It is available on computers throughout the University Libraries and provided free of charge for home use to currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff.

This workshop will provide an overview of Word’s styles and templates as well as other tools and tips for academic paper formatting. Attendees will learn shortcuts that will allow them to meet assignment requirements and focus on research and writing rather than fixing formatting problems in Microsoft Word.
