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.

Awesome tutorial! I combined what I learned in this video with some info learned in other videos. Here are some modifications that I made: 1) Enable the Developer tab on the ribbon. I used the content controls menu to insert fillable text fields, date fields, and check boxes that can be toggled on and off with a simple click. 2) Rather than using the alignment tools in the Layout tab to get all those checkboxes aligned, I built a table with no borders inside each of the big cells containing the options, then I lined up my check boxes and descriptions into the cells of the nested table - a bit easier! 3) I used the "Restrict Editing" option in the Developer tab to lock down all but the fillable bits of the form. If your check boxes are still inside those draggable text boxes, you might have issues with this setting... I couldn't toggle the check boxes on/off until I took them out of the text boxes.... but if you do like I did and align your check boxes using a table instead of using text boxes, you can get around this weird snag.

Great video. Well organized. You showed us the final form of what you were trying to do for each task that you would be teaching and them showed them each separately explaining what you were doing and why as you were training each one.

[aladyfirstkda]

I have learned so much from you in literally three hours over 2 days! THANK YOU!

[DavidEllzeyAwaken]

Lisa thank you so very much! A question that I have scoured the comments for in this and others of your videos, is how to save the document with fillable fields in a way that a person can fill in the fields, but not be free to move other elements of the document. Perhaps I missed it? In another video you speak of using the "Developer" to lock in place, but that seemed to lock even the fields. I'd appreciate your help. Thanks.

[laurenbudd]

This is a wonderful tutorial - thank you! Can you please tell me how I can add a text box that expands if the comments exceed the origial size of the text box?

[tracybuford]

You are the super hero the world needed. This is exactly what I needed and explained simply.

[bethanforsey]

Hi Lisa, thank you so much for your helpful tutorials. I followed another video of yours for making fillable forms on Word using the Developer tool. Could you tell me how I add an area for someone to add an electronic signature? That's the only bit I can't figure out. Do I add a 'text box' in Developer? Can they insert their electronic signature into that? Thank you! B

[Liliane]

Thanks for the comprehensive and clear explanation. I learned a lot. Very useful!

[nahromusa]

Thanks a lot Madam Lisa. Your video is really very much helpful for me. Your explanation is great. I would like to watch another video regarding the Developer elements.

[archanaaa]

Thank you so much... instead of text box can we use rectangle boxes from clip art?

[chipblock]

Great video with an easy explanation. Now I need some help in having the completed fields dara drop into excel or a Access data base.
