Word Exercise 1
Word Exercise 2
Word Exercise 3
Word Exercise 4
Word Exercise 5

Microsoft Word is

"A fully featured word processor that includes automatic formatting, easy-to-create tables, and the ability to create and position graphics."

In these five exercises you are asked to:

Create a simple cover page
Create a CV
Create a simple Report
Create a Report with a Table of Contents
Create a standard letter and link it to a file of names and addresses for multiple mailing purposes (i.e. Mail Merge).

The second, third and fourth exercises each start with a file which contains most of the text.  Your job is to edit, add and format the text starting from a document which looks very crude.   The difference between the starting point and the finished product should amaze you!!  In the fifth exercise, you create the files required from scratch before performing the Mail Merge.

Thus to do exercises two, three and four you will need a set of files.  They are contained in the following "self-extracting executable" files.

Files for Office 97: ITWorkout97.exe
Files for Office 95: ITWorkout95.exe
Just click on the required version of the files required. 
Save the "EXE" file either in the \TEMP directory on the C: drive OR on the A: (floppy) disk. 
When the file has been "downloaded", start Windows NT Explorer (it's on the "Programs" menu), find the \TEMP directory (or the A: drive) and double click on the EXE file.  You will be asked where you want to put the extracted files.  These should again go onto either the \TEMP directory or the floppy disk (the A: drive).
Once you've extracted the files you can delete the EXE file (this can be done in Windows NT explorer.)

Note that these EXE files also contain the files you need for the Excel exercises.
