I'm a proficient MS Word User, but "Chapter 13: Time-saving hacks that will make life easier" was interesting! Good course.
By Michelle Hembree on 9/14/2019
good course, knowledgeable instructor, i really like the hacks and time-savers offered.
By Dave Sigsworth on 7/10/2019
Yes, I think this course was a good match for me.
By Hugh Scanlon on 4/2/2019
This was an excellent course - it covered the important features of Word. In particular, I learned quite a bit about the tools in the Review tab. However, I wish that the Mailings tab had been discussed.
By Amanda W on 7/24/2018
Well paced for those new to Word. I think the shortcut demo'd in lesson 3 has just paid for the entire course in terms of hours saved doing tedius typing.
