      "I am very experienced in Microsoft Word but I am overall inexperienced with any other publication tool. However, I am not unfamiliar with learning new software and I would be eager to learn any necessary or required publication tools."

      Stephanie's Feedback

      That's wonderful that you have considerable experience with Microsoft Word. However, Microsoft Word is generally viewed as a pretty basic publication tool, so I suggest doing some additional research on other publication tools and pitching your experience with those tools (or skills that you've built using Word that translate easily into other programs.)
