Training courses for editors
Edit faster and more easily by using MS Word add-ins and
learning more about Word’s inbuilt features
As an editor, using MS Word every day in your work, you might feel as though you already know enough about the program. But are you using Word’s full capacity in your editing?
I love learning new things and exploring new tools. For many years I found Word a challenge, but eventually I discovered that mastering the latest MS Word features can make editing easier and faster. Now, I want to share my experience with you.

About Me
Hi, I’m Hilary – founder of Cadman Training.
I help individuals and organisations improve their writing, editing and communication skills, with a strong focus on practical, hands-on training in MS Word. My goal is to help people work faster and more efficiently, making a real difference to their everyday tasks.
I’ve been using Word for over 25 years. In the beginning, I found it frustrating, but over time, I developed strategies and techniques that transformed how I worked. Now, I share those insights through my courses, helping others not just get by with Word, but actually enjoy using it!
Would you like to feel more confident and in control when working in Word? If so, my courses are right for you. I break tricky topics into clear, manageable steps, always focusing on real-world application.
At Cadman Training, I offer:
- self-paced online courses with bite-sized, practical lessons
- live workshops tailored for teams and organisations
- ongoing support and resources to help you put your learning into action
I believe software should work for you – not the other way around. If you’ve ever thought, “There must be an easier way to do this in Word,” you’re probably right. I’d love to show you how.
Hundreds of people – including editors, academics and staff of pharmaceutical companies – have taken my courses and seen how much easier Word can be with the right tools and techniques.
Hilary loves finding ways to speed up repetitive tasks. Check out her tips on YouTube.
