Thank you so much, Erin. I attended college and I could not believe that there is no instructor would teach students how to use Microsoft Office like the the way you do. What a shame to the institutions! You save a day!

Warmly explained, thoroughly elaborated, calmly demonstrated, and precisely shortened! What a teacher and a guidance! It's art!

Hi, thank you for this video. I am using a MacOS with Word 365 and I did not find the Insert > Cover Page > Save Selection ... or anything near that. Any idea where that might be now?

Funnily, I didn't know how to create a custom cover page before, thank you! 😀

[hcurtisshannon]

Very useful video. Unfortunately, when I tried to create a custom cover page, Word doesn't let me - I can only access the built-in ones. I have Microsoft 365 (up to date) on a Mac. desktop. Any suggestions on how to get around this?

Dear Ms. Erin, Nicely explained. Will you please let me know how to copy a cover page created on word to desktop? I want to upload the same in some other web page. Will it possible? Else, let me know how to create cover page without the use of word. Thanks.

Great video. Exactly what I was looking for!!

[barbphinney]

Thank you. I would also like to know how to merge two word documents, so that I have things like blank pages before sections. Hitting Insert blank page isn't working for me.

[nettspracklen]

Extremely helpful, great pace and articulation, I've now made my 1st cover page for my documents. every days a school day.

Hi Erin, thank you for the tutorial. However I have a question regarding the cover page. Word automatically puts the cover page on the first page, but is it possible to move the cover page so that it would be on the second page instead?
Have a nice day!
