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.

I have spent hours looking for a way to create fillable forms. Have looked at 365, Adobe, on line apps etc etc. Then I came across your video. Cannot believe what a quick fix this is and how easy it is once someone tells you. Excellently taught as well - clear and concise. Thankyou Lisa.

Hi, would these forms be fillable when exported as PDFs?

[ntnsty]

when i select the Developer Controls, whether text or the check box, i get the annoying blue parenthetical looking figures on each side. How do i get rid of that? Moreover, the check boxes won't work - looking at Properties and see that it is to be a X (or can change it) but nothing happens when check/click on it. Help.

[linguaphile]

Thank you Lisa! Very quick and easy. <3

[mikecanull]

Spent a ton of time looking for this.. thank you for making it easy! Question though, is there a way to take out the lines on the text box?

[victoryawom]

Hi Lisa. I tried it and it worked on my laptop. I then tested the form on my phone, everything but the drop down worked. Where I have the drop down doesn't open the options when I tap on it, instead it's highlighted for editing - like I could wipe it off and just type.
I would like to know if there's something I missed please.

You're a fantastic teacher by the way😊. Thank you!

[INTJATarot]

if we send this form, wont the person we sent it to be able to unprotect the form and edit the form? thanks

[peacesamuel]
