About Christine Kent
I am a long time educator, writer, editor and user of
Microsoft products. I bring a real world understanding to the
materials I write and the courses I run.
After 20 years as a technical and education writer, I can write just about anything, accurately and to a time deadline.
As an editor I fix documents that just don't work, I make poorly
presented documents look good, and I can edit PDF documents or convert
them back to Word for you.
As a trainer, I am currently conducting Microsoft Word 2007 courses
in Australia and New Zealand, and offer telephone and internet support to purchasers of my self-paced books.
I specialise in small, quirky or off the wall tasks that require lateral thinking and creativity.
I solve problems.
