>>Some of the things to possibly include in the class include:
- using the standard toolbar and formatting toolbar
- standard shortcuts (Ctrl-A, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-C, etc.)
- paragraph formatting and numbering
- creating forms and templates for standard documents<<

else that irritates knowledgable Word users the most! So whatever else
you can think of that takes you a lot of time to fix, throw it in! I
always say "let the computer do the work for you," and the folks who
really want the help are glad to get it.
