I have learned more from your tutorials than I ever learned going to some overpriced classes at a "learning center". Thank you so much for your clear concise instructions!

[Cryptosafi]

This video covered literally everything I needed to learn to undertake a very large document for the first time- thanks a million.

Definitely going to be switching to dark mode for the future because it seriously is overwhelming on my eyes when it’s super bright with the white background. Thanks for that advice Kevin! :)

I'm ecstatic after watching this video after multiple tries of converting a PDF document and then nearly considering buying a subscription from Adobe for PDF to word conversion! Thanks a bunch!!

Thanks Kevin. I'm reviewing and editing a 60 page dissertation for someone and your tips are going to save me so much time! I love learning from all your videos. :)

If you are setting up a shell or template and want to add placeholder content into the document, you can use the =lorem function which will add generic text into the document. You format it as =lorem(# of paragraphs, # of sentences) As such =lorem(2, 5) will give us two paragraphs of fake text that have 5 sentences each. Please beware that sentences won't make sense to people, but they will provide placeholder text. Additionally, you can use the =rand function, which uses the same format as lorem, but actually adds random tutorial text as a placeholder.

hard earned love kevin!! you're a great man

@Kevin, I loved this review, but it would be great if there were 2 enhancements: 1. When you introduce tips, please tell us what versions this tip is available in. Some of your Top 15 were available a few years ago. 2. When you chose APA (I wish they had an entire template for dissertations!) you accidentally chose MLA for specifics. In APA the references page is called References. In MLA it's called Works Cited - and these are different. Also, you mentioned that with this tool you don't have to be an expert in the different Citation formats -- but in your example, you placed the in-text citation after the punctuation, which is incorrect -- it goes inside the punctuation "blah blah (Williams, 2005)."

BUT I love your tutorials better than anyone else's, so please keep going. I'd love to collaborate with you on an academic tutorial.

Clear, concise, informative, entertaining - all the things a great YouTube video should be - the best I've seen. Thanks for the hard work.

[vjfriesen]

So helpful, thank you very much Kevin! Something I struggle a bit with is working with multilevel bullet lists in a document or agreement. Would love to see something on that. Cheers!

[starlight]

This video is very useful for me especially the section on how to turn a PDF into a word document, the one with image-PDF. Big THNKS to you for the clear and beautiful videos you always make. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
