Start the 2nd Half with Self-Congratulatory Prose

The only parts of this class I would possibly "need" are "Lesson 6" & "Lesson 7" which is a pretty powerful statement about my level of MS Word expertise. I have worked with MS Word since when I used version 2.0 on a crappy 386 computer in the basement of our first house in 1994. I copied the .exe file to a 3.5" floppy disk and copied it to my computer. It barely fit on the drive. For a number of years, I had an entire set of Office 95 3.5" floppy disks that I used to install on a different computer that I think was a step up from the crappy 386 computer I just mentioned - it was a 486! I imagine MS Word and I will be a thing until I retire.
