The course certificate is a scam as Coursera does not offer any course by itself but through its partners like Microsoft. However, in this specialization certificate, Microsoft name/logo/brand are missing. Coursera must respond by stop using Microsoft name or put the brand on Certificates.

It is almost impossible to get a review. So THE honor degree thing is kinda a lie. It is not interactive at all.

I learned a great deal in this course and further developed my technology skills through Microsoft Word and the Coursera Organization. Throughout the course, I continued to grow as a life-long professional and look forward to new opportunities.

The State of Missouri, Workforce Development and Higher Learning and the Full Employment Council all played and integral role in ensuring that I received a quality technology experience. I feel blessed and honored to have completed the first course of my program of study.

The Coursera Technology Support Team were phenomenal in guiding and redirecting me when I asked for technical assistance. I am grateful for their expertise, their patience and their advocacy role during this course.

I highly recommend this program to anyone who needs to develop or further enhance their skill levels. It was not an easy accomplishment; however, resources are available to you for support. This was a rewarding experience for me and I am excited to begin my next course for my program.

Great course that helped me fill in gaps I have with using Word, and learned new practical skills such as creating enhanced documents with more control over graphics, and things I did not know one could do in there. Also the editor is like a spell checker on steroids an amazing time saver when editing docs. Learning how to securely share documents was immensely important. Briefly going over other Microsoft 365 products was helpful as well: OneDrive, Teams, Publisher, Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint. All concepts covered in Word are applicable to different environments for personal, educational, and professional use. Thank you...God Bless!

I've just completed one very well composed training, very educating.... one that truly reflects Microsoft's quality.

I've been using MS Word since Windows 95 (Office 97), yet still find that there are so many things to learn in the recent version. Coupled with examples and best practices to use MS Word optimally, this course is an eye-opener for me. I believe I will be able to produce better documents and with stronger impact to the audience. Thanks for the effort on making such course available.

Explaination was clear. Nonetheless, in a few topic, the examples should have to be more broaded. Example : ruler, margin etc. Otherwise, one of the best experience.

I enjoyed learning more about word. There are a lot of features I didn't know about or didn't know how to use them. I feel that this course was the tip of the iceberg. However much of it was frustrating for me because there were a lot of technical gliches with the practice material.

Title: A Game-Changer: Work Smarter with Microsoft Word

Rating: ★★★★★

I recently had the opportunity to explore the features of Microsoft Word and its potential for boosting productivity, and I must say, it has been a game-changer. From its intuitive interface to its powerful tools, Microsoft Word has truly revolutionized the way I work.

One of the standout features that caught my attention is the ability to create and modify templates. With just a few clicks, I can now create professional-looking documents that are consistent in style and formatting. This has saved me countless hours of formatting and allowed me to focus more on the content itself.

Another aspect that has greatly improved my efficiency is the collaboration feature. Microsoft Word allows multiple users to work on a document simultaneously, making it easy to collaborate with colleagues or clients in real-time. The ability to track changes and leave comments has streamlined the review process, eliminating the need for lengthy email threads and version control headaches.

I was also pleasantly surprised by the extensive range of formatting options available in Microsoft Word. From customizing styles and fonts to creating tables and inserting graphics, the possibilities are endless. The program's user-friendly interface makes it easy to navigate and discover these features, even for those who are not tech-savvy.

Additionally, the integration with other Microsoft Office applications, such as Excel and PowerPoint, has further enhanced my productivity. I can now seamlessly import data from Excel spreadsheets into Word documents or create dynamic presentations using Word's content.

While Microsoft Word is a powerful tool, it is worth mentioning that it does require some time to fully explore and understand its capabilities. However, the learning curve is relatively gentle, and with online tutorials and resources readily available, mastering the program becomes an enjoyable journey.

In conclusion, Microsoft Word has proven to be an invaluable asset in my professional life. Its user-friendly interface, extensive formatting options, and collaboration features have significantly improved my workflow and productivity. If you're looking to work smarter and more efficiently, I highly recommend exploring the full potential of Microsoft Word.

I was a self-taught Microsoft Word user before starting this course. After finishing this course, I learned many functionalities of Microsoft that I never tried before, this course was interesting! I learned many new things such as:

- the significance of using the headings to create automatic table of contents - adding citations, footnotes and bibliography - header, footer, watermarks, captions, - using page breaks, section breaks - using the Design tab, accesibility features - comparing documents, track changes

I am progressing very well as a learner in this course. It helps a lot to play with its features after the instructor introduces a feature of Microsoft Word to familiarize it even more and getting used to its usage.

Very excited to start excel course to move on to numbers, formulas and other functions.

Thank you Coursera!
