Yep, the Publisher MVPs are good folks. Don't be put off by some of the less
civilized denizens of the Publisher NGs, though.

Hi Folks, it's me again (Alasdair Crockett),
I just thought that I would let you all know that I sat the final part
(for
now)of my exam in my Clait Plus Word Unit and Passed with flying colours
:-)
Thanks to you guys and all the Tutorials. I want to thank you all for your
patience and understanding and for always pointing me in the right
direction.
The next unit I am undertaking is" Publisher"which is another thing I have
never used before, my choice for this is that our parish magazine has
asked
for help in publishing the mag and I thought it would be a good idea if I
could contribute to it at some later stage when I grasp the fundamentals.
I
just hope the MVP's at "Publisher" are as good as you Ladies and Gentlemen
:-).
I will be back with you at some stage, when I do the more advanced unit on
word at some point in the future and I'm sure there will be times before
that
when I need your valuable help.
So a BIG THANK YOU to you all,
Kindest Regards to you all,
Alasdair Crockett.

The

after

and
