Question ID: 272831
I'm looking for quality exercises that will teach students (seniors) how to use 
microsoft word (typing and functionality).  The exercises will be
given to students who have very little computer experience so ideally
I would like the exercises to be basic and thorough and take the
students through a progression of learning (from typing simple
paragraph to basic formatting to advanced formatting).  I would like
the exercises to create documents as opposed to web pages.  I'm
looking for a list of about 10 - 20 exercises.

Thanks, 
mediatek
