Custom Code

“It’s time to get a little geeky…
Microsoft Office is built to provide flexibility. Much of its flexibility comes from the various options and features each application has built into it, but there is even more flexibility when you use macros...
Recording, editing, and using custom macros to improve your productivity can be fun and satisfying when you build something that makes a difference in your productivity.”

— Richard V. Michaels, M.Ed.
Chief Product Architect, Great Circle Learning and Microsoft Office MVP

Richard V. Michaels is a recipient of the 2021-2022 Microsoft MVP award for Office Apps & Services.

As a recipient of the Microsoft MVP award each year since 2013, Rich is part of an elite group of MVPs worldwide, recognized by Microsoft Corporation as MVP for its Office & Apps products.

Rich earned this award by volunteering his technical expertise and sharing his experience to help others realize their potential within the Microsoft Microsoft Office technical communities that are accessed by millions of people worldwide.

Microsoft Corporation established the MVP Award more than 20 years ago as a way to recognize amazing individuals for their outstanding contributions in a wide range of worldwide community activities. Each year since then, Microsoft looks to these communities — Technical Forums, Web sites, book lists, speaker bureaus, and other technical peer-to-peer communities — for the most exceptional, active participants who provide credible and noteworthy contributions.

We are very proud to see Rich included in this special group of talented individuals.
