"Julie Samford, I just LOVE your webinars!

Even when I think oh I kind of know some of this stuff, BAM you teach me something new!

For one, do you know how many years I've been using my stitching alphabet or even the stitch/stitch but I had NO idea I could just write the word and then ST-CH?! Um, also how about find and change and fix last untranslate? Total game changers!

My main reason for signing up was to see if there were any tricks to doing realtime in Zoom since I've had to recently do that, but I'm learning so much more! Thanks for offering these webinars and helping us be the best court reporters we can be! I'm looking forward to part 2."

"It was a great session last night. I think I am pretty good with my macros, and I still picked up some fabulous tips.

Just goes to show you that you don't know what you don't know.

I encourage everyone who is interested to watch and learn. I can't wait to rewatch the recording when it's uploaded. I find I get the MOST bang for my buck in re: CEUs when it's software-related topics."

Regarding the FIND and CHANGE Macro:

"Thank you so much for the class!
I’ve been using the “June/Jane KHA*ENG” for the last couple of depositions, and I absolutely love it. It’s amazing the amount of editing I can get done with just that one macro. Even if that was the only thing I took away from the course, I’d say it was totally worth it. I will be watching the second half this weekend. I wasn't able to watch it live this week. Thanks again! I really loved the class.
