Not to nit-pick here, but he doesn't call himself a Word expert. He calls
himself a Microsoft Office expert. Perhaps he uses the entire Word suite
expertly, except Word because he uses an alternate tool for those jobs. What
other tools does he list? Do others on his tool list indicate a minimal need
for Word?
If yes, perhaps you are jumping to conclusions. If no, perhaps you are dead
on. But we don't have the luxury of seeing the rest of his resume or
portfolio.
