Hello Erin,

I am a student who is visualy impaired, and you have no idea how much you’ve made my day by simply mentioning how beneficial headings are for those of us who use screen readers!!! From personal experiences, lack of headings in a word document can be frustrating to navigate when there are no headings if I want to get to a specific part using my screen reader.

Clear, concise, and a good pace (as per Charles Norris' earlier comment). I, and it appears to be true for many others, find it difficult to create text which is truly concise, to the point and yet contains all the instruction required for the specific subject. You have achieved that with great precision. Well done and thank you.

Thank you very much for posting this video, know that it is sincerely appreciated.
I would like to inquire if it is actually possible to copy a text from a different word file with different (fonts, text color size, etc...) and once it's pasted in a separate word document if it's possible for the pasted text to automatically adjust and display in the same format that has been modified in the heading of the said seperate word document?

[MissRaex]

Thank you so much! I finally am able to do this by myself, instead of using someone else's template!
