MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint

Microsoft software will be your go-to tools for a lot of your coursework. If you want to get better acquainted with that software, this is the place to do that.

During your study, you will need to use a range of Office365 products. The three main Microsoft Office 365 programmes that you are likely to encounter and use are Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Microsoft Office products are available to all students and staff and on all computers on the Lincoln University campus. You can also access Office 365 on your personal devices. Refer to IT Help for instructions on how to access Office 365.

Guidance on how to use each of the Microsoft Office 365 products is available below:

We have a useful short video on how to start page numbering on the second or third page. This is helpful if you have to use a coversheet for an assessment and the coversheet must not be numbered.
