What skills, exactly, is a "Word Expert" endowed with?

Anything to do with writing leet macros?
not really there was some editing macros and modifying xml schemas. and using the more advanced features.

Edit: These are the skills need for the expert exam http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/officespecialist/objectives/Word2003ExpertExamSkillStandards.mspx

You'd be surprised how in demand these sort of skill are, especially things like Excel. A vast majority of the UK workforce over the age of 30 are highly underskilled when it comes to IT. Most have never grown up with a PC, something you have. They also lack the intuition and acumen you have (never mock the afflicted).

In my local Tesco most people under 25 will use the self service touch screen, but the older people are always more hesitant, and divert to the human.

A significant amount of business is carried out via e-mail and documents are essential to most of not all companies. Word is quite a powerful tool, you'd be surprised how many 40 year olds can't even knock up a decent CV.

Well done, and good luck for the rest of your examinations.
