Published Series of Word Tips
After presenting the Expanding Your Toolbox to Make You a More Productive Editor session at the Society for Technical Communication’s 2019 Technical Communication Summit. & Expo on May 6, 2019, I followed up the session with a series of Word tips to the company LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bookworm-editing-services-llc
These are the topics I have covered:

- Advanced Find and Replace
- Advanced Find and Replace with Wildcards
- AutoCorrect List
- Custom Dictionary
- Editor Tools Tab
- Exclusion Dictionary
- Keyboard Shortcuts
- Navigation Pane
- QAT
