Education/Credentials

Formerly the #1 rated Microsoft Word Expert at Askme.com since volunteering there in December 2000. In that time, responding to thousands of questions most of which were specific to Microsoft Word.

What do you like about this subject?

What I like about this subject is the day by day excitement of learning something new or utilizing a program feature that I didn't realize was available. I learn from your questions too. We all gain by sharing our MS Word knowledge.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

To enjoy the continuing learning experience of Microsoft Word and its many features and should I live long enough, to master Formulas in Word Tables and maybe if I get some courage; Macro's.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

For many years, WordPefect was the word processor of choice for millions of users but now that has changed. Microsoft Office and Word pretty much dominates the entire market. It is my opinion that Microsoft Word is the only business choice when it comes to word processing. If you have the patience, MS Word can be used to accomplish almost every task you can dream up.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Microsoft controversial or provocative? No, they just make the best software in the world! Drives the users nuts but it is still the best!
