Classes by Copyeditors, for Copyeditors

Microsoft Word might seem like old hat, but it's got some amazing capabilities if you know where to look. Jennifer Yankopolus's Word Macros A to Z, a six-week course starting July 9, will give you the hands-on help you need to get comfortable with Word macros. These essential tools automate repetitive tasks so you can save your effort — and your wrists — for more nuanced editing. If you're on the production end of things, Yateendra Joshi's webinar Designing Reader-Friendly Technical Documents (July 10) will show you how to take advantage of Word's layout tools to craft gorgeous settings for those well-edited words.

Whether you want to study at your own pace or learn with an instructor's direct feedback, the EFA's education program has everything you need to broaden your skill set and client base. As always, our library of recorded webinars is available for immediate viewing, so be sure to check it out for dozens of helpful sessions.
