Clear, organized, and to the point. Exactly what I needed to publish my first book. It is going to save me a lot of time. I should have taken the course before formatting my manuscript.

Most of the course is essentially a Word tutorial. That information is already readily available on the web or in books. Some of the time spent teaching about headers and footers, for example, could have been put to better use. One or two lessons on working with covers for CreateSpace would have elevated the value of this course.

Very good course. Provides a great deal of detail and examples. It wasn't so much the course but it highlights the amount of work you have to do to master Microsoft Word. Some of the clicking back and forth, may in some instances lead to discouragement (I can't do this), but the author provided good examples where you could simply take the simpler way out. Good Class. I would recommend it.

Totally hands on, like I can learn from the video and then posit and go and make it happen on my word document and see the changes immediately that's what I love! Jason Matthews makes learning Microsoft Word easy. Your search is over! You won't be disappointed. His easy to follow step by step approach is just what I needed to solve the challenges of inserting headers, page numbers and how to correctly use section breaks. Now my book is submitted for review at Create Space. Thanks Jason! Nick Boork
