What do they say about Libreoffice courses?

"I took Paolo's 3 courses on LibreOffice. Although all of them were great, this one was probably the best for me. I found the sections on Mail-merge, Content, and Change Tracking particularly useful for scenarios where you're running a small business, writing the great next novel, or collaborating on documents. There's a LOT Writer can do, and this course manages to go over most if not all of its features in just under 4 hours of lectures and actually teach you something. If you're planning on moving from MS Word, this course is probably a must."
