Take your genealogical writing to another level with one of the profession’s most respected educators.

Many genealogists use Microsoft Word daily, yet only scratch the surface of what it can do. In this nine-part masterclass, Dr Thomas W. Jones will show you how to harness Word’s advanced features to create clear, polished, professional genealogical documents.

Each 1.5-hour session (there are 9 sessions) combines instruction with hands-on application:

Week 1: Learn and practise a specific feature of Word.

Week 2: Apply it to your own writing and receive personalised feedback from Tom.

Across the course, you’ll gain practical strategies for improving document setup, tables, citations, layout, and overall styling—ensuring your work is not only accurate but presented to the highest standard. (Plus there are handouts for each session!)
