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.

Thanks very much Lisa. I wish I'd known this a week ago - it would have saved me hours of work! I didn't have a clue about macros until your video - what an eye opener! Also, I was always unsure about using already assigned shortcut keys to create my own, resulting in shortcuts that I assigned which I couldn't find again. That mystery is now solved thanks to you. I will be using macros all the time now. Such a simple time saver IF you know how to do it. Thanks again and cheers!

Thank you so much for all what you are doing. All your videos are perfect and beneficial. I earned 2 thinks from your videos, mastering Ms word and improving my English. i am happy, sincerely you are a good teacher in all your videos i wached. You have good communication, clear voice and easy explanation. i am not good in English language, but I understood all your explanations in your some of your videos. My suggestion, if you add and make videos, to give English courses for non english speakers, it will be more better. Thanks again.

Sometime my macro combination does not work when I press the assigned keys. However, when I click on 'Run' in the selected 'Macros' option from the drop down list it's functionality is perfect. Why do some macros work and others not so well?

Super helpful, Lisa! Thanks.
Quick question: Can you share a macro with a friend or a group? Can I send some link via email so they can just add it to their Word software? I'm trying to help some clients with tasks across the whole department.

Why on Earth would you use a macro for this? You should be creating a Character Style.
