As a student In times like this our school uses Microsoft word very often so thank you very much for that!

I LOVE your voice. It is as calming as it is instructional; a much needed bonus when teaching most things. Thank you.

Finally. I was trying to adjust only the up down vertical of the whole document. I could only adjust one page at a time. If I selected Ctrl + A, the left side vertical ruler would dissapear. Finally, when she said to try the Layout tab, I found the margins button and could change the whole document to fit the way I liked. Thank you. Very helpful.
