    This unbelievable! I made it through my entire Bachelor Degree writing papers and NO ONE taught me this. I now understand why I can not get hired for administer jobs! Thank you.

    Outstanding. Every college student preparing a resume needs to watch this one.

    Scott Hanselman is one of the best instructors on the net. His knowledge of the topic is so deep and his delivery so fluid that he is able to give us mere mortals the understanding we seek with no wasted time. His series is part of my reference library.

    Hey this was pretty awesome. I'm an engineering who's been using word for years but am transitioning into project management where this stuff is critical. It was really great how you broke all of that down, somewhere in my educational history none of this was ever touched on. I'm assuming none of the people who taught me really KNEW word. keep doing these.

  • @krysfjorgyn9494

    Not only was this thoroughly helpful, it was also hilarious every time you reacted to "the messes" when you turned paragraph marks on. I've been using Word for years and been guilty of all these mistakes. No longer. Please make more Word tutorials!

  • @gaetankeribin497

    @sizzlene6 9 лет назад +6

    I enjoyed this video about tabs & indents. I would like to see one on bullets, numbering, multilevel list and outlining. I'm a returning college student and have figured out that Multilevel lists and Outlining work well for me in studying and note taking. Thank You!

    @shull4jc 4 года назад +2

    Hi Scott. You're a God send and a wonderful teacher. The company I work for took too long in transitioning entirely over to Word (former Corel users) -- there's no professional training to be had and with the workload picking up so fast; it's overwhelming. Even with professional training (that I've had years ago), they will not get into the essential details that you explain here. You make using Word easy and fun. Thank you very much!!

  • @mrrichdean2020

    Hey Scott, I stumbled on to your videos after installing office 2016 earlier today. Since then I have watched a small selection and will look to watch many more over the next few weeks. It is refreshing to watch tutorials which are relaxed whilst obviously structured, as well as accompanied by clear easy to understand audio. It would be great to see you do a video of creating a document template. I have created several over the years but have always had to refer online to overcome issues with different page numbers, margins, etc. being used throughout different sections. Many thanks for all the effort and time you made available to us all.

    Great video. I used to get frustrated with proper formatting in Word and sometimes found it easier to use LaTeX to better control the layout of my documents. It'd be great if you would do a few more videos in this series!

  • @newfc12
    @newfc12 9 лет назад

    @thewoodmaster 7 лет назад

    I watched a few of your word videos. Wow. I have been trying to master word since the early days and as a Old Word Perfect user it was a completely different concept. I have got to the point that my documents work well for our business. I do a lot of long documents, Leases etc. The are all mail merge documents that complete the contract. Every one of your videos speaks to me in a language I can completely understand and comprehend. I would love to see some videos on advanced Mail Merge and Master Documents. Thank You and these are the best word videos I have come across. As a side note I am 70 years old and I spend about an hour and a half everyday watching videos on software I use in my business. I am not happy till I truly master the software I have. I have been in business for 41 Years and don't plan on retiring till I am around 80. Still a lot to learn.

    OMG!!! I was absolutely clueless when it came to tabs and indents. If there was more than one tab, I was lost. And forget about idents! This helped me so much. You just saved me from so much stress and frustration. Thank you!

  • @kscrumpton3545
    @kscrumpton3545 9 лет назад +2

    This is that request you asked for to expand on the topics you mentioned in the last seconds of this video on tabs and indents in MS word. Please do, there are lots of us who need that info!! Thanks for taking the time.

  • @jesseainskeep
    @jesseainskeep 9 лет назад +3

    More more more!
    It's funny... As a developer I seem to spend more of my time fighting Word and OneNote developing documentation than I do writing code. This was really useful.
    I'd very much enjoy you doing more of these to cover the other topics you specified at the end of the video.

    @ShermanJr1970 9 лет назад +3

    After watching your video on word tabs and indents I would like for you to keep making these videos. I have looked and paid for basics on how to do it the right way. Others have failed they go one way with a conversation then another, its like they don't have a good understanding of how to do it. Oh not to forget I agree with your video. Great Job. thanks!

  • @jkriptos
    @jkriptos 7 лет назад +1

    Hey Scott, this really helped! I was naive enough to align stuff with tables in Word... this is like when you discover you can use css to position your elements!
    Most of us just started up Word and started to type, so element positioning was always left aside. Thanks for the time and thoughts you invested on sharing. :)

  • @lvmyfam11
    @lvmyfam11 7 лет назад +1

    Thank you for posting this video. I would like to suggest that you encourage using list levels, rather than customizing a bunch of indents and tabs, when stepping down a level in a bullet-ed list. Simply click on the Bullet List Arrow on the Main Menu Ribbon, and select, "Change List Level". MUCH easier!

  • @strandloper
    @strandloper 9 лет назад +3

    Good video. I knew all this but would like to see more videos about more advanced Word use. One thing I do struggle with is correctly using the features for positioning images. I ascribe my ease of using the layout features in Word to my use of Lotus Manuscript many years ago. While the popular word processor of the time, WordPerfect, was using a horrible inline control character system, Manuscript was using a much more sensible block based layout system very much like that in Word and other modern word processors.
    Interestingly I watched this in the RUclips app on my iPad but couldn't leave a comment there. No comments were visible and there were no controls visible to turn them on. I had to open the video in Safari before I could comment.

    Scott this vid is soo helpful to me. I need to learn at a slower pace in order to get the full meaning of what I am being taught. You have really given me a better understanding of tabs, etc. Now I believe formatting my book will be completed quicker.

  • @c17nav
    @c17nav 4 года назад +1

    Great video, Scott. One thing that could also be included is the purpose of the right click pop up format painter (paint brush) and styles. They reduce a lot of brute force formatting. If you have created a separate video(s) for these subjects, maybe you could include links in your basic description.

  • @johnhyde8459
    @johnhyde8459 5 лет назад

    This video is incredible please do more of this type.
    There are so many videos circulating on this topic and other aspects of the suite,
    this one is remarkably much more fluid, in your explanation and the over all layout of the video. It's been very helpful, thank you sir!

  • @Mishkafofer
    @Mishkafofer 4 года назад

    The insight of how to test your design by increasing text size is simple and brilliant. Now I understand more deeply why using spaces breaks and why proper use of indents and tab stops in more powerful.

    Excellent video series Scott. I only wish I ran into these BEFORE I spent 4 hours formatting a sloppy 25-page document. I watched the rest of your Word video series, and I am happy to say I will never struggle to fix improper formatting again, especially since I now know how to do it right the first time.

    Thanks again for a truly informative Word video. I've been what I've considered an advanced beginner of Word. I don't know if that's what I've been, but will be able to feel more confident of my use of Word with your videos.

  • @ineedadip
    @ineedadip 9 лет назад +15

    Great video, BUT. I would love a video like this one, but for Excel. I was querying the a database the other day and spit out some CSVs. We were trying to analyze the data in excel and really couldn't figure it out (not before giving up). I ended up going back to TSQL and spitting out the same data with different Group By's, and other aggregate functions in the select and so on. Select X, Sum(Y), Count(Z) Where something Group By X
    I know Excel is extremely powerful, but I've never ran across a video about it. How about doing a series like "Excel for programmers".
