Expert Profile: Suzanne S. Barnhill

Expertise: I've been using Word for Windows since version 2.0, and the more I learn about it, the more I realize how little I know. But I may know a few things that you don't, and I'll help if I can. I answer many questions every day in Microsoft's peer support newsgroups and as a result have been awarded the MVP (Most Valuable Professional) designation by Microsoft Corporation. You may be able to find the answer to your question at the Word MVPs' FAQ site, so please check it first! Please, no questions about VBA (macros), Registry editing, networks, or complex merges, as I have no experience with these aspects of Word, nor do I have any experience with Word for the Mac.
I have a master's degree in classics (Latin), which is surprisingly helpful, though I no longer teach. The things I am proudest of: Having raised two children to maturity, both Merit Scholars, both college graduates (one a philosophy major!), one Phi Beta Kappa (from Harvard!); having been made a Paul Harris Fellow by my Rotary club; having been designated a Microsoft MVP.

Awards & High Honors Master of Word Processing Programs Award 2/2000

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I'm still very much a novice in Word 2007, and I'm still learning things about Word 2003. There are many Word features I may never need to use, but I'd like to understand more about how they work. Answering your questions often forces me to investigate these areas.

What do you like about this subject? What's not to like? (Well, right: whatever isn't working for you!) Seriously, I really love Microsoft Word. Although I do use other programs (Excel, Publisher), it's a challenge to figure out how to do things in Word.
