Very clear explication

By Nora Utech on 10/16/2020

I've used Word for many years, but I'm learning so many little tips that I didn't know about before. Wish I had taken this a long time ago!

By Mologadi Matlale Kgasago on 10/15/2020

It is useful and will help me with most of my assignments.

By AandM Dominguez on 10/8/2020

Great for anyone new to Microsoft Word wanting to up their skills. Only thing that would have made this perfect for me, personally, is practice quizzes/questions after each major section for comprehensive check and review--took a practice exam immediately after and did not perform well--and better audio (I found myself raising the volume to over 50% on my Windows computer).

By Lashawn Jones on 9/5/2020

So far very informative. Thanks!

By Daniel Krupinski on 8/18/2020

Great course, the only thing that I think should be mentioned in the non-expert word course is that macros can only be recorded with a keyboard - even simple macro to change font color won't work unless you know how to do it without clicking the color with your mouse

By Jennifer Contreras on 8/1/2020

Yes, I will be able to apply what I learned into my work environment on a daily basis.

By Jody Holmes on 7/24/2020

I found his way of presenting easy to follow. Even though I was in a more recent version, I was able to pause and locate whatever we were working on. Keeps the language simple. - rvb
