The presenter is a born teacher - I love how clear and logically the topics are presented. I am also really enjoying the opportunity to personally follow along in my own copy of Word - adding what I learn in the course at each level. Loving it and highly recommending this course.

Great to review the basics and nice that there is some new material I didn't know about. Learnt so much new stuff in the more advanced modules. Might take lots of practice to become comfortable with it all but at least I'm not so ignorant now. Thanks so much.

Although I am only a third of the way through this course, I have already learnt loads and feel more confident in navigating my way around basic Word features. As a blogger and author, my growth has been restricted by my lack of keyword skills and basic functioning of Word. Going through the material, which is presented in a very friendly and beginner-friendly mode, I am smiling at how much I am able to understand and instantly apply. Scrolling through the material, I am looking forward to finally understanding and learning how to format my Kindle and Createspace books. Word4Authors is a worthwhile investment for all writers, bloggers who wish to quickly improve their keyboard/Word skills and productivity. Thank you. Ntathu Allen

Wonderfully simple lessons for the anyone that has trouble understanding the word program. I love that I am able to apply what the teacher is showing me by pausing the videos. This is the way I personally learn the best, by listening, seeing and applying what I have learned.
