Director of Client Success at Orange Tree Employment Screening
I worked with Michelle on an important project for our organization. Michelle demonstrated a tireless devotion to creating the right documents for our organization while providing exemplary customer service. The training was clear and concise ensuring we not only had exactly what we needed, but also had the knowledge to appropriately implement it. I would highly recommend Michelle and The Proof Positive Group for any internal or client facing documents. The entire experience was fast, easy, and done right!
Senior OD Consultant/Principal at Perrault Consulting Group
I selected Michelle purely based upon an internet search when I needed an expert to edit some PDF files, get them into Word doc format and then save again in PDF format. The documents were prepared in Europe and used Anglican English and were formatted for A4 sized paper.
It was a struggle due to some unusual formatting issues as well loss of definition during the conversion processes.
Michelle was professional and timely in all of her communications. She is extremely knowledgeable regarding the Microsoft and Adobe products was upfront regarding the issues she expected to encounter. How refreshing that a contractor would be so transparent.
Thorough and time sensitive, Michelle stayed in touch continually and did not leave things to chance. I intend on using her services again.
Analyst at Pretium Partners, LLC
Michelle is a consummate professional. She is incredibly responsive and worked diligently to solve even the most perplexing problems we encountered as we worked on our Firm re-brand and Microsoft Office template construction. One aspect of Michelle's work product that I find very helpful is the informational videos that she uploads and narrates herself; these videos serve as a compliment to her walkthroughs for all types of problems. I cannot recommend Michelle and her work product enough - she knows what she is doing and it's as simple as that.

Healthcare Consultant
Michelle is wonderful to work with and has been my go-to whenever I need assistance with templates and large technical documents. She is very responsive, flexible, knowledgeable, and her work is consistently high quality. As one example, our team was working on a large document that did not fit the recommended template and structure. Michelle worked closely with us to create a new template that could appropriately incorporate all the required information in an intuitive way, and she continued to provide troubleshooting support as the large (800-page) document was assembled. I would highly recommend Michelle's services to anyone.
Project Manager at The Office of Experience
Michelle helped us with a client project when we were in a bind. Her quick communication, turnaround time and professionalism helped us deliver exactly what the client needed. The Microsoft Suite is so robust if you know how to use it and Michelle definitely does! I learned a lot from working with her and watching her tutorial videos. All-in-all a positive experience for us and our client.
Attorney (Estate Planning, Probate, Real Estate)
Michelle Howell, at The Proof Positive, is fantastic. Not only is she a world-class expert at MS Word, especially it's absurdly complex formatting features, and knows how to make your documents do whatever you want them to do, reliably, every time . . . . but she's really good at explaining to you what she's doing, how it works, and what you need to do to avoid messing up the formatting that she designs and builds for you. She is responsive and very enjoyable to work with. And she's a good communicator, adjusting How she explains it all to you, based on your particular fluency in Word Formatting, and frankly, based on how much you even desire to understand the inner workings. I recommend her highly. Trey Hanna, The Hanna Law Firm, LLC
Appraiser at Brigantino & Company
Michelle is brilliant! In my business, we write 75+- page narrative reports using a combination of MS Word and Excel. For many years I've tried to create templates and such to streamline the process but just never could get the job done, until I found Michelle Howell on a random web search. I gave her a call and within minutes she understood what I needed and how to get the job done. We went back and forth a few times and after a few weeks we had the most amazing template, far beyond my wildest dreams. Speaking of dreams, Michelle is a dream to work with. She followed through on everything, communicated fluently and timely. She's an angel from heaven that guided us through the smoke and mirrors of today's technology. I can't say enough great things about her, so thankful we found her. PS, I am not related to her nor do I know her in any capacity other than the work she did for us.
Retired but available as an Independent Contractor
Working with Michelle to develop a new PowerPoint presentation template for our company was easy and delivered huge value. She was responsive to all of our needs, assertive in her guidance with what she felt was cost prohibitive for us to pursue, and genuinely concerned with how her work could deliver a useful product.
We are very excited to debut the new slides template at our semi-annual owner meeting next week, and feel that they will help us look all the more professional and deepen the impression our presentations make on our audience.
I would not hesitate to recommend Michelle's services to anyone seeking to upgrade the look of their presentations.

Michelle Howell at The Proof Positive Group Services has been a great resource developing PowerPoint templates in a version of Office that we had not installed yet. She took our existing templates and worked with our team to make the updates necessary to bring a fresh, clean look and feel, as well as added functionality. She was always available despite her busy schedule, and always responded in a timely manner. She's an expert in her field and provided additional training video responses showing us as well as explaining her answers. That made a world of difference for this visual learner! Thank you, Michelle for all your work!
Assistant Director at Healthy Families America, and MBA Candidate at Kelley School of Business
Michelle was a total professional in handling our complex Microsoft Word document. We had edited the document so many times it was severely corrupted, but Michelle rebuilt our document in record time. (I only wished we had hired her years ago!) She also was wonderful to work with. Unlike other vendors, Michelle took the time to walk through the document with us beforehand and asked great questions about our needs and preferences. She was reassuring in her approach and even gave us a video guide at the end to support us in our use of the document moving forward. Thank you, Michelle!
President at Law Offices of Michael J. Codner, APC
Michelle is an absolutely fantastic teacher with a wealth of knowledge in her field. She is patient, receptive, and above all, a bona fide “problem fixer” when all seems lost. Above all, she has compassion for the conundrums heaped upon us by the Microsoft world we face everyday. Words cannot truly give enough credit to the business and time-saving service her and her company provide.
With the current times in which we live in the business world, where there is far to often a lack of value in services paid for, she is undoubtedly an exception! I would recommend her and her company to anyone with needs in her field.
Leadership and Order from Chaos | Application and Cybersecurity | Programs | Development
Being introduced to Michelle and her team was a gift. I work in a field where written deliverables sometimes have to speak for themselves and presenting a consistent, professional appearance from multiple authors is a must. Michelle worked to develop highly usable, well structured templates customized for each team and purpose. Concise demonstration videos topped the package ensuring easy application by future authors. Particularly impressive was the light touch - Michelle was able to deliver value with very little effort from us. Not sure how she managed that!
Political Pollster/Public Opinion Researcher
Michelle created a number of Word templates for our company and she was great to work with. Not only was she responsive (even at night and on weekends), but she managed to deal with our endless iterations and nit-picking!
Senior Associate and Geotechnical Engineer at Shannon & Wilson, Inc.
Michelle has provided a great service to us in helping us develop a new MS Word document template for our formal reports. This template will allow our technical staff to easily create a nice-looking report with minimal cross-reference errors. Michelle has been very patient with our development team in making changes and tweaks as we adjust our usage. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking to develop a standard document template for their company.
Founder at Red Tractor Holdings, Inc.
I had a client that wanted a Word letterhead template with second sheet. Being a graphic designer I know very little about Word so after I gave up I sent it to a friend to create. That did not work. Then I sent it to a group that said they could do it, what I got back from them was "it can't be done." Then It went to a "Word Expert," he could not complete the task and suggested Michelle. So I messaged her, without very high hopes. She was very professional and very easy to work with. She listened to what I needed and in the matter of no time at all I had what I needed and at a very reasonable price. I was happy and my client was VERY happy. She saved my behind. I will be going to Michelle for any and all future Word projects. Thank you Michelle, great work!
Seasoned full-time freelance medical writer/editor for 19 years
I'm a medical writer, and I've worked with Michelle for a few years now. She does a fantastic job of converting tables to figures, converting Word text to PowerPoint, and formatting Word documents so that they look professional. Michelle responds very quickly to emails and typically has a very short turnaround time. She is easy to communicate with, and she makes intelligent decisions when I don't give her enough instructions. I always enjoy working with her because she is so responsive and always very pleasant. I highly recommend Michelle Howell!

Templates Design Specialist at The Advisory Board Company
Michelle has been phenomenal to work with in a consultative role. Her attention to detail and responsiveness are second to none. We worked together across the Fall of 2016 in a corporate template audit where she evaluated current state, gave recommendations for improvement as well as guidance for transitioning materials into Office 2013. Her ability regardless of operating system and versions of software never diminished, and I especially liked the detailed communication record and teaching demos.
Managing Partner/Executive Vice President at Training Systems Design
Our business is growing and as such I required more resources available on a flexible schedule. I found Michelle and her company through a simple google search, and I can't tell you how lucky I feel for having found her. Michelle worked on a 300+ page document that required significant attention. Michelle tamed the savage beast beautifully, making it client and user friendly. Michelle was responsive at night and through the weekend as we continued to update it due to additions, deletions and changes on our end. I look forward to a long partnership with Michelle and her team.
Graphic Design Professional
Very thorough. A pleasure to work with.
Director of Marketing and Communications at Mt. San Antonio College

General Partner at Riordan, Lewis & Haden
Michelle does an outstanding job of editing documents to make them look "beyond professional". Her attention to detail is relentless; her aesthetic eye for making a nice looking document is much appreciated. She understands Word at a very high level and is able to implement all the features you could imagine in order to make the document easy to navigate and highly organized. She responds to inquiries quickly and delivers the finished product on or before the time she promises. She did a great job on a 100 page Word document, over a weekend. Five stars!
Marketing Coordinator at Denver Art Museum
As a design project manager at a museum that works on highly variable and ever-changing collateral, I frequently received requests from various departments for editable creative. However, we struggled with finding a solution that upheld our design standards and had the functionality our departments needed.
A new designer joined our team this year, and upon receiving her first request for an editable piece of collateral, recommended Michelle. I reached out to Michelle then, and I will do it again! She was great to work with and was very detail oriented and thorough. She asked the right questions that yielded the exact results we needed.
The piece, which was a guide for students visiting the museum, needed to be customized for individual schools and curriculums in order for students to get the most out of their visit and teachers to feel confident that the visit would seamlessly fit into their lesson plans. It never would have been possible for us to create a static guide that would to apply to all age levels and gallery options, while also being useful and providing up-to-date information.
Michelle helped us create an easy-to-use, professional museum guide that can accommodate variable information without burdening our design time with having to manually make updates every time. Michelle has opened up a lot of options for us in terms of what we can do and how we can expand our personalization for museum visitors. I am so happy with the results and very excited to utilize her expertise in the future.
Digital Asset Management (DAM) Program Manager
A top-tier resource! Michelle's expertise in "real-world Microsoft" and cross-platform/enterprise font deployment, her responsiveness, depth of experience, detail, documentation and delivery - and being a great person to work with make this an enthusiastic, and the easiest recommendation ever.
Creative Director / Design Director
Michelle is a beacon of competency, thoroughness and speed. It’s extremely difficult to find a source that can create functionally precise Word templates, get it right the first time, and turn work around faster than we can proof it! Michelle’s capabilities in this space are deep; we were impressed! Providing usage instructions via video is a genius touch. When you’re deploying templates to a large team, enabling an understanding of how to use them fully is crucial; the instructional videos are very appreciated.
Design Director at Tamm + Kit
As a graphic designer, being tasked with building a series of letterhead in Microsoft Word can not only be wicked annoying but usually takes way longer than it needs to. I found Michelle during a panicked Google search at around 2 a.m. and I know I’ve found a vendor/friend for life! The project I needed her to assist me on was to create three versions of letterhead with a pretty complex footer that was custom to multiple office locations. Michelle handled my questions with great patience (I swear some of them were so basic that it must have been very hard for her to not laugh). By the end of it all, my client was very pleased with the final product and aside from a massive sense of relief, I too was happy with the final outcome. Michelle had lots of suggestions on how to make the letterhead user friendly and even included a how-to video for the files! Michelle was fantastic to deal with and worked quickly which helped me deal with a fairly demanding client. I feel I learned a lot from her and I know that my agency will be giving her our business in the future.

Director of Sales and Marketing, Team Lucas
I used a MS Word template provided by CreateSpace (Amazon.com's online book publishing subsidiary) and after 200 pages of writing, started having SERIOUS formatting issues that nobody could figure out. Several work colleagues--all very smart and proficient with computers--tried to help, but couldn't figure out what was wrong. They all gave up and threw in the towel. Then, I met Michelle and within a few hours all the formatting issues were resolved! She not only fixed the problems, she explained what happened and how to avoid it from happening again. Michelle is an expert in MS Word layout, templates, presentations, and formatting. I highly recommend her for any of your writing needs.
Director at A.C.T. - Offshore Limited
Michelle produced a number of documents for us in Microsoft Word. We needed someone who could ensure proper formatting and she did this perfectly. We worked with her via email and she is very fast and efficient. We will be working with her again in future.
Sr. Director of Marketing and Communications at Louisiana Healthcare Connections
If you’re looking for impeccable Microsoft Office skills and expertise, then I highly recommend Michelle Howell. With a keen understanding for how design and technology overlap, she is able to ensure neither is sacrificed in the process. Michelle's involvement in our company rebrand ensured that the new brand became infused into the work all of our employees produced, not just the graphic designers. I can't speak highly enough of Michelle, her expertise, and the impact she's made for us.
Creating cultures of evidence and impact
Michelle designed a Word template for our team that has quickly become a crucial part of our product's quality and branding. She is incredibly knowledge, easy to work with, and timely with deliverables. The customized instructional videos are a phenomenal touch, and make the templates much easier to adopt and use.

Michelle goes above an beyond to help clients! She delivers great products on time (oftener early) and guarantees all her work!
Owner at Marilyn Barrett A Law Corporation
I had a document that was so corrupted Microsoft and the word processing consultants I generally work with could not figure it out. I found Michelle and she is a miracle worker. After I had spent over 5 hours with others, she fixed the problem in less than 30 minutes. I have been sending documents I need help with since then and she always is prompt, professional and delivers a perfect product. I was thrilled to find out that she is also expert in PowerPoint and did a great job of preparing several diagrams for a client. I highly recommend her.
Founder and COO

Michelle goes above an beyond to ensure that her clients are happy and the work product is perfect. We'll be clients for life.
Director, Account Based Marketing, Utility Services at Nexant
Michelle came in to the usual corporate template mess: multiple business units having a hard time transitioning from their old templates to a new brand; multiple business requirements for how our Powerpoints and proposal documents behaved; and diverse, divergent, and demanding opinions about what styles and practices our group of 200 users should consistently observe when producing content in Microsoft. I assembled a small group of representative power users for Michelle, and with her skilled discovery abilities she was able to understand HOW people interact with MS-Office products, WHAT business requirements cut across departments, and WHY people were advocating for the changes they wanted. With this understanding, she crafted templates that met requirements but also considered the real usability issues of our particular group of writers. We particularly appreciated her over-the-top support - Michelle makes short demo videos for everything she introduces, making it easy for our team to understand new features and be able to train others as well. Michelle is flexible, responsive and client-focused. She is accurate about estimating project scope and in fact exceeded objectives and beat timelines. It' has been a pleasure to collaborate with her.
CEO at Kohlex.com
We recently reached out to Michelle very late in the game on a $100M+ proposal and she cam through for us in such a big way. In fact, there were multiple sub-contractors participating with us on the comprehensive proposal for a US Military and our section came out very strong in large part to the quick efforts by Michelle. I will highly recommend her to anyone.
Investment banker - Middle Market

Marketing, Communications & Growth Leader
At Smart Devine we hired Michelle to develop Powerpoint and Word templates for our marketing and business development documents. What she delivered was beyond what we expected. She was efficient, listened to what we wanted and was available to answer all of our questions. The result was well branded documents that we used for brochures, biographies, proposals, reports and case studies. She saved us a lot of money by having easy-to-use templates in-house and we are still using them today.
I highly recommend using Michelle Howell.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Michelle. She is a very detailed and customer service oriented template builder with a firm eye on overall schedule and budget. Michelle developed templates based on our needs and worked with us to supply what we need to do our job efficiently, effectively, and professionally.

Visual Communications, Graphic Design
As a graphic designer I do not use Microsoft products very much, and to be honest, try to stay away from them as much as possible. This is generally not a problem for me unless I need to create layouts for PowerPoint. Michelle and her group are masters of Microsoft PowerPoint and go above and beyond just creating slides. Taking it one step further, Michelle provides a fully defined template which is reflected in all the standard PowerPoint functions and features.

Congratulations! You have made it to the end of the testimonials. We work really hard for our clients to get these amazing testimonials. Each of these is verifiable by clicking on the name or photo of the client - except mine. As a web developer I was able to sneek mine in here. In the event that there is a odd number of testimonials, mine will appear. If there is an even number, mine will disappear. It keeps this page symetical. Pretty cool stuff we can do here...
