Are You Ready to Supercharge How You Use Word?
I’ve been using Microsoft Word for decades, since the early days of Word on DOS systems. About three decades ago I worked for various computer book publishers and was charged with converting their in-house editorial systems from paper-based to computer-based. In making that technological conversion, I centered everything around Microsoft Word.
Part of the reason for this decision was that we could, in Word, develop macros that helped us process manuscripts and convert them into the formats we needed for our typesetting systems. This allowed us to accomplish tasks in a fraction of the time required to do them by hand, and to add features to Word that were specifically designed for our needs.
That’s how you can “supercharge” Word, and the key to adding that power is learning how to create and use macros.
I want to help you do that. I’ve distilled my extensive experience in using and creating macros into my Beginning Word Macros Master Class, and now you can tap into that experience so you can learn the exciting ways you can supercharge how you use Word.
If you are like most people, you probably have mixed feelings about learning a new skill—perhaps even a bit of anxiety. That’s understandable, but I know from personal experience that with the right kind of instruction and some good, old-fashioned effort on your part, you can master macros.
What can you expect if you are successful? Well, for one, you’ll be able to increase what you can get done with Word. You’ll improve your consistency and reduce processing errors. You’ll discover new ways to use the program. You’ll be able to understand and use all those macro-based solutions you may run into online. You’ll increase your skills and thereby become more valuable to your boss. (Bosses tend to like those who can get lots of work done in a timely fashion. That’s you, right? Well, it can be.)
That’s a lot, just from learning how to use and create macros!
My Beginning Word Macros Master Class is designed to help you improve your skills and get more done with Word. Even if you’ve never touched a macro in your life, I’m convinced you’ll benefit from my course. (I’m so convinced that I provide a no-questions-asked refund policy for the first 30 days. More on that in a moment.) The macros you create can make the work you do more enjoyable, allow you to do it faster, and (along the way) establish you as a “get it done now” type of person.
What the Course Covers
The Beginning Word Macros Master Class course is packed with great information. The course is divided into sections, each covering a major topic area related to working with macros. Each section is further divided into a series of sessions (or, if you prefer, lessons) that are individually crafted to help you expand your understanding of macros. Further, the course is designed to help you progress and succeed at your own pace.
Here’s a quick rundown of the sections in the course:
Section # | Section Title | |

A Sample Course Session
To give you a taste for how I present information in the course, I want to share one of the sessions from the Beginning Word Macros Master Class course. Below is the video for session 102-1, “Creating Macros by Recording.” This session is part of section 102, which you can see in the section outline, above. (Hint: You may want to maximize the video so it fills your screen. I find this helpful when viewing sessions.)
I hope that gives you an idea of how I conduct my courses—I try to be clear, concise, and complete when discussing any particular topic. Note that for this particular session, the supplemental materials include two transcripts (one “raw” and the other edited). These supplemental materials are available on the session’s page once you register for the course. In addition, you may have noticed that this sample session (and all the sessions) include closed captions, which can be a great aid for those who are hard-of-hearing.

The Price for All this Awesomeness?
The registration fee for the course is a fraction of what in-person events can cost. (I should know—I’ve attended and taught my fair share of such events!) The amount depends on whether you want the course in streaming format, or if you want the ability to download the video files in addition to streaming.

Important Note: Those who choose to register for the “Streaming + Video Downloads” option receive, 31 days after signing up, access to a download page that provides the video files (without closed-captioning) in two formats: 720p high-def and 1080p high-def. High-quality video files are HUGE, so I also provide the opportunity for “Streaming + Video Downloads” registrants to have the video files sent to them in both formats on a USB 3.0 drive at no additional cost, upon request. Access to the downloadable video files is provided 31 days after registering because the first 30 days constitute the “kick-the-tires” period where any registrant can ask for a full refund of the registration fee.
I’m excited about this course!
I’m betting that you can catch a glimpse of why I’m excited. While I can’t come to your hometown and host one of my two-day seminars, I can do the next best thing and provide the online tools you need to finally harness how to create and use Word macros. And, I can provide it at a lower cost than a “hometown seminar” and provide more features and benefits.
Accepting New Students
I only open the doors to this course a few times each year. The doors are open right now (or you wouldn’t be reading this), but they won’t stay open for long. Here’s the complete rundown on important dates relative to this course opening:
- November 6, 2024: Doors to the course open; new students can register. Early bird pricing is in effect.
- November 13, 2024: Early bird pricing ends at end of the day.
- November 20, 2024: Doors to the course close at end of the day.
Once the doors close, they won’t open again for at least six months. I close the doors like this so that I can block the time necessary to help the influx of students that always occurs.
Remember, you can register anytime that I’m accepting students (like right now), and when you do, you’ll have immediate access to the course for which you decide to register.
If you don’t have time for the course immediately, but you anticipate that you will within the next month or so, you may want to go ahead and register now. The course is self-paced, and even though you get immediate access to the course upon registration, you can delay starting for a bit, if that better fits your schedule. You have access to the course for a complete year (12 months) from the time you register.
Still Can’t Decide?
If you are still on the fence about registering for a course, consider a few things:
- The full course outlines are fantastic. I provided a quick overview of the outline, above, but you can check out the full outline by scrolling back up and downloading your own copy. (The link is right under the section listing for the course.)
- I’ve actively tried to provide more support materials to class participants than other online courses. (I don’t know of other courses, for instance, that provide the powerful combination of a printed outline, two sets of transcripts, and available closed-captioning.)
- I make myself available to course participants, through this website and via e-mail, for as long as you are registered for the course. (In other words, you won’t be left on your own as you work through the course—I’ll be there to help you.)
I’ve spent an immense amount of time and resources to put together the Beginning Word Macros Master Class course. In the course I show you the real power of macros in an approachable, achievable way. If you decide to register for a course, I want you to acquire real, marketable skills you can use regularly. It will take work on your part, but I’m there to help you out as you finally master how to work with macros!
I’m confident you won’t be disappointed in the course but, even so, there is no risk on your part. As I’ve noted a few times on this page, the course is covered by a 100% 30-day money-back guarantee, the same as all my other products. If you don’t like what you see or it’s not working out for you, just e-mail me and request the refund. My only requirement is that you do it within 30 days from when you first register. (That gives you plenty of time to “kick the tires” and try everything out.)
Are you ready to expand your knowledge of Word and finally (finally!) master macros? If so, I’m ready to help you gain the skills you need. All you need to do is register by scrolling back up to the pricing table and clicking the button for the course option that’s right for you.
