I have been an IT pro for 30+ years in Higher Ed, and I am compelled to tell you how impressed I am with your content! I spent much of my weekend watching your videos, one after another. I plan to share your channel with my first semester IT Fundamentals students, faculty customers, and even my technical colleagues! Thank you!

Having minimal use of WORD for several years, your tutorial was an excellent confidence builder. I recommend it highly.

Total agreement with all good statements below AND am now relaxed with Word! This allows me to go forward without feeling intimidated by programming I don't understand. You showed us all how to navigate to find help in each area of word. It took going through several videos to find you, but worth the time and effort because you have the knowledge, capability, attitude, and everything else it takes to teach others. Nothing is more helpful than a teacher who knows how to teach. THANK YOU! What a difference in how I handle Word now!

Perhaps I can share what I found useful. I created a word document, saved and minimised it. Then, as the tutorial went along, I would pause and try to apply to my document each function described. You need to apply and try each thing if you are a beginner or you will forget nearly all of it by the time you get to the end. Just a tip. Just a suggestion that worked for me. Thank guys.

BEST 22 minutes I have spent for 15 years of using Word! Thanks.

Hey Kevin!

From one computer guy to another. Thank you for this! In all the years, classes, and documentation that I have read and seen regarding Word tutorials, this is an OUTSTANDING presentation! The amount of material covered, the clarity in your speaking, and the impact of your videos. This will help people immensely! MS Word is the foundation, as well as the expansion, from which so many computer and Office skills can be created and innovated. The communication possabilities are endless!

I have a personal preference for the Simplified Office Ribbon and am one of those "Hate Subscription Software" people. LOL! You are doing an AWSOME job of making software easier to use and more understandable for everyone. Great Work!

Quality video once again, you should really get into teaching, you have the gift for it. So concise, not one bit of information was talked about too much or too little. Thanks again, you've really helped me improve my word and excel skills and I know want to learn more.
