yES.., yRS... yES!!! tHE COURSE WAAS VERY INTERESTING AND PACK WITH INFORMATION. THE INSTRUCTOR PRESENTED THE INFORMATION IN AN EASY-TO-FOLLOW WAY AND GAVE PAUSE TO PRACTICE. i LEARNED ENOUGH TO JUMP INTO THE SOFTWARE USE IT LIKE ANY OTHER MICROSOFT TOOL.
By Terry Northcutt on 12/26/2024
It was a good match. I've spent time with Word and discovered layers of features but couldn't easily and consistently locate them. This systematic approach to publisher not only informs me about the layers of publisher but also how I can more consistently locate word icons and features. A two for one learning experience because there is so much carry over between Word and Publisher

I feel like I knew everything he told me just from playing around. I'm trying to create reasonably professional-looking documents, not church newsletters. This course didn't help me do that. It didn't even talk about using guides and aligning to them.

Talking too fast, had to stop quite a few times and rewind. I'm not a youngling anymore, and may have something to do with that. I'm sure my 30 yr old IT son would understand this just fine. IF I had to stop and actually do the practice between the lessons, this is not a 3 hrs class. It took me 4.5 hrs just because I had to rewind on parts I didn't understand. Overall, a very interesting and detailed class.

Keeps referring to an intro section that I have not seen nor know how to access.
By Peter Schröder on 12/14/2022
Great, great course. I give it 7 stars. I learnt a lot in just 2 days. Now, I will study each and every video in depth. I would like to say not only thanks to the Publisher gods, but, most important, to the author himself. Thank you very much!
By John Rahne on 11/24/2022
I have used Publisher sporadically for 5 years. So far, this course has taught me many useful things and gone to areas I have not explored. The Instructor has a good pace and is very understandable. Keeps my interest
By Robert Lebowitz on 11/7/2022
My favorite instructor, Dave has done it again. I needed to learn MS Publisher for a client and had no experience, now I know everything there is to know! He really knows how to break things down and outline all you need to know in clear language and great examples.
By Justin Silbaugh on 11/7/2022
I did not know a thing about Publisher and heard it was not so great, but Dave really sold me on the quality of Publisher and all the capacity of what it could do. Now I will use it to make posters and brochures and be my go to desktop publishing tool. Thanks, my friend!
By David Casuto on 11/7/2022
Great class so far. I didn't realize how sophisticated Publisher was until I took this class. So many people say that it's not that worthy of an application, but after taking this class I understand the full capacity of the class. Dave is a good teacher and explains things clearly and carefully with good examples.
