What is an MVP?

Microsoft MVP

MVP is Microsoft-ese for "Most Valuable Professional" and represents someone who has contributed much valuable information on these newsgroups. That person may or may not be a computer professional. That person is an experienced user of Word and has helped many others use Word. These people are all volunteers and do not work for Microsoft. In my opinion, collectively this group of people knows more about Word than do Microsoft support personnel. The designation of MVP, though, comes from Microsoft and represents a Microsoft judgment. A website listing the Word MVPs as well as MVPs in many other categories is at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/AboutMVPs/index.html

This designation is applied to human beings who are sometimes wrong. There are other volunteers online who also contribute and are often right but do not have that designation. I like to think of myself as one of those.

The Word MVPs have an awesome FAQ site at:

www.mvps.org/word/.

It is far more comprehensive than this site.
