Microsoft Word Tutorials
Within all my tutorials I aim to help you develop your skills working within Word, Excel and Powerpoint as well as further your knowledge about the tools which are available within the Microsoft Office Software.
Throughout this channel I aim to cover simple subjects such as page numbers, margins, headers and footers, image, pictures and fonts as well as more advanced themes such as tables, mail merge, table of contents and electronic signatures.
Sharing tips and tricks which I discover along my journey is also an important aspect of this channel. I love the idea of giving people the solution to a problem they’ve been struggling with in Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint.
The channel began all because of a problem I had when I had to insert images into a Word Document. I couldn’t find a way to drag and drop multiple images into a table without them expanding across the page, being cropped or interfering with the rest of the text. It wasn’t until I finally sat down one day, determined to find the solution and developed a way to solve the problem. Having found the problem quite difficult to solve without knowing how to do it I decided to make a You Tube video about it. Never once believing that many people would watch it, let alone be so grateful.
After discovering how helpful a simple tutorial could be I decided to make further videos with the aim of once again helping as many people as possible.

That was really helpful. I am glad I watched your video 😊.

Glad you liked it!!

[@OurAwesomeUniverse]

Thanks for the video. Microsoft's functionality is disappointing in certain respects, but you shared workarounds that work.

[@Bmac2324]

Microsoft is so user unfriendly! It’s the worst

[@ronsanders2606]

Fact. You must follow there template content, no more, no less. Modifications that go outside of the original Microsoft provided sample content leads to chaotic results and the standard controls no longer work as normal, like working with bullet points but worse. Templates once gave users a great head start, now they are for automatons looking for someone else to do their thinking for them.

Yes! I spent the last 1 hour trying to get rid of the default styles but couldn't so I had to make a template and turns out there is no intuitive way of adding custom templates

[@carllane6521]

I am trying to use a Microsoft Word template, fashion brochure. I was able to customize everything except the pictures. I can't figure out how to change the default pictures to the ones that I need. Please help.

[@alisonfarr1033]

When I try to add page numbers it then throws out all the formatting. Is there anyway to add pages numbers and for this not to happen? Also how can I duplicate / add a page, not add a blank page?

[@sandyclark1368]

You are showing nothing that I don't already know. Easy changes. How about showing a resume and how to adjust all the elements inside a MS Word resume template.

[@LisaDoe]

The whole point of a pre-made template is to allow the user to simply input their own information without having to insert graphics, columns, lines etc. If you're going to change the template you might as well start the whole form from scratch.

Also, just because you know it doesn't meant the other 60 billion people viewing this video knows it. There is something out there for everyone. Don't be selfish with your response.
I knew this stuff as well. I skipped the video and went to the part I wanted to know... the saving as a template part.
Take parts of the video you need. You don't need to relearn the stuff u know.
