Once you have a fair amount of mileage working with Word, you can enhance your skills by taking the 'Word 2016: Advanced Tips and Tricks' course. While most of the lessons are divided on specific tasks, such as formatting text and laying out pages, there’s also a special section titled “Use Word for school“ that covers several Word techniques that’ll be of help in an educational setting. Some lessons are applicable to even older versions such as Word 2013, Word 2010 and even Word 2007.
The good thing about the training is that since its covers the absolute basics, most of its lessons are applicable to various versions of the software, going from the Microsoft 365 to Word 2019, and Word 2016. The training is made of short video demonstrations and screencasts, which are followed by several textual step-by-step tutorials that are nicely illustrated to help you get working knowledge with the word processor. The makers of the software have a nice free 'Introductory training to Word', which is as good a starting point as any. If you are an absolute green horn to word processing, then let Microsoft handhold you through the basics.
