Hi, I am a professor at Ghent University in Belgium and have written a free tutorial (200+ pages) on advanced Microsoft Word.

The tutorial is useful for everybody who is writing larger documents, such as technical reports, MSc or PhD theses, publications, law documents, etc.

All information is updated for Word 365 (version 2026).

Topics include:

• Paragraph styles

• Field codes (SEQ, STYLEREF, REF)

• Bookmarks and cross-references

• Equation numbering

• Multi-level lists

• Headers and footers

• Sections

• VBA macros

• Reference management

• Word XML structure

• PDF/A export

The document is freely available and feedback is welcome.

Here is the download link:

Best regards,
