Helllo, I work as a graphic designer and most of the time I work with Word documents sent to me by others, transforming them into whatever with programs like Adobe InDesign. Now, often these documents go through several rounds of reviews before reaching, ending up with .docs pretty rich with markup. And now my question and next video idea - a problem I sometimes struggle with slightly - how to not miss any change in a Word document markup/review panel while..? While working in other software, doing changes in documents.... Sorry English is not my first language and I struggle to express what I mean, but I hope you understand. Thanks for your old Word videos too, they helped me a lot.

Hello @Scott, it is possible to add/create predefines auto-completes like this one within Outlook, there several acronyms I use the time an see butter some to write over a over.
Thanks in advance for your time!

You are a whizz Scott, these are all great tips! Thanks for sharing ♥I can't seem to locate the Word video you mentioned about using captions, references and how to properly use cross-reference in general. Would you mind sharing that please?

I'd never heard of ligatures until now. That's interesting stuff. But the lorem generator is the magic here.


Any chance we could get some stuff on Excel? There's a wealth of information there that most folks don't use. A great example of an Excel pain is pasting in date/time and excel showing just the time and then having to jump through menus to manipulate the column to show the right formatting - a shortcut to do that, or even a default option for date/time formatting would be astounding and save me a lot of time over the months.

Hi Scott, I recently subscribed. I was curious if you could show how to make List Styles and have them added to a brand new template and to the Normal template

Why is it that on my machine, Font doesn't show as an option on RMC like it does for you at 6:26?

Hello Scott, This is a great series of videos. Is there an easier way to modify nubered lists to increase the white space between list items. It would be really helpful to get some pointers on this as well as modifying numbered lists in general.

Hi Scott! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I would really appreciate if you could make a video on how to create complicated bilingual documents, which have lots of numbering levels and go parallel on both languages, e.g some legal dox. As far as I understand this should be done in a table and making mirror styles for each language not to make a mess out of the numbering. I'm sure there should be some nice and clear process to do that.

Please make a video explaining all about captions, and how to make them stay with a image/table when breaking the page. Especially when you have multiple tables one followed by another. Tnks!

thanks for the windows clipboard feature

[nataliep]

Thank you for your videos, they are so well thought out! If this could be helpful to others, I would love to know how to apply style themes across Word, PowerPoint and Excel, so that all branded documents could have the same look and feel. Thank you.

Looking forward to the video showing how to use =rand(10, 4) to generate the code I need in Visual Studio.

Hi Scott, Great videos and very useful tips. I was fascinated by your videos on how to use Word. I thought I already knew enough until I saw your videos. This is a huge help in stepping up my MS Office gameplan at my job. I just have a request, can you make a video about making forms on Word? And which is better for forms, Word or Excel? Thanks in advance! More power!

Hey Scott, I would love to hear about strategies to keep all of the customizations and settings I have made safe, or take them with me like for example if I move to another machine. Not everything is stored in my 365-account (yet). I am talking about local office settings like autocorrect options as well as Windows Terminal or Visual Studio settings.

I like your series on the things deep inside programs we all use. I like the one about CR LF . in a post type writer world, it is we are still living with this. Maybe you can explain what make the spinner work when node is installing packages. ?
