Hi, page breaks are a feature not a bug so it cannot be fixed permanently. What usually happened when I find a stray page break in my document is that I copied and pasted from a document that someone else created and the page break with the copy as part of the formatting. The best you can do is instead of using CTRL +V for paste, you can right click and choose keep text only. This should ignore the page break. For example, when working on a longer document with sections it is standard formatting to have each new section start at the top of a new page. If one section is 2.5 pages long I would NOT want the next section to start on the page 2.5, it SHOULD start on page 3. To enforce that formatting I could use a page break. A prior boss did this all the time so when I combined documents I would have page breaks in places that no longer made sense.

Glad you enjoyed it

Glad you found it useful. Interestingly enough, the summaries were not very popular. But I am glad that you found value in it.

In my opinion, it is very useful within a company if you set up the expectation with your coworkers about how they will get time on your calendar. The office hours example was something I really did with my coworkers because otherwise I would spend all day answering questions and not getting other tasks done 😊 Since you mentioned shared calendars; if you are looking to use bookings for a group of people, the shared bookings page may be a good ideas so that you can set up one page for the whole team vs each person setting up an individual page.

@@HeatherMajors thanks for your reply 👍

It is great to know that the personal bookings is working for you. I think it is more applicable to the average office worker than the shared calendar. Thus that will be the next video to offer a balanced view.

You’re welcome 😊

You are welcome. Wishing you a wonderful day.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi, this is a good idea and I have added it to my tracker. I need to look at my content calendar to see where it can fit. But to share quickly for today. If you go to Save as > click drop down were it says PowerPoint presentation (pptx) there will be an option for PowerPoint Template (potx). This would save to your custom office templates folder on your C drive, and then you should be able to choose it from available templates.

@@HeatherMajors Thank you, I will try to repeat the process.

One way to do this could be to use the Approvals app in Teams. They recently implemented the option to send an approval to multiple people in a sequence. If you do use Power Automate, what you are looking for is mostly in this video. I had 2 approvers and then a 3 rd person. You would just need to modify the false statement to send the approval to the 3 person vs terminating the flow. As for the Teams component, you can go to workflows and use one of those templates. If one does not exist, you can simply create your flow in Power Automate and then pin something like a form or list as a tab. People would fill it out and then trigger the flow.

I am not a licensing expert. But I have used the E3 license before and it will do the same thing unless your admin has turned it off.

I am not sure that totally get your question. But with this approval flow, I have the parallel path which I put in by clicking the + sign in between when an item is created and the first start and wait for approval. Then I added a condition control to each one, both have a true or false path based on the outcome. The thing that I sometimes mess up when going fast, is I insert the parallel path below the first start and wait, but it needs to be inserted below the when an item is created.

@@HeatherMajors I got till your both "condition and condition 2" but the only thing which I cant figure it out is your second last step which is "start and wait for an approval" in your parallel approval. In your video I see one "start and wait for an approval" for both conditions where as on my end after condition I have to add an action separately on both conditions of "start and wait for an approval".How I can add just one "start and wait for an approval" like in your video.

HI Mark, to start off please know that I don't work for TechSmith and never have. I am just a person on KZbin who needed to learn a thing and thought to share that learning with others. That being said I will be happy to share what I have learned via my journey. 1. An external microphone is not a problem. I have used a Yeti and then upgraded to a Rode Broadcast mic and that is not a problem either even though it is more power intensive than the Yeti. 2. A web camera should be no problem either. I use a Logitech Brio 4k. Even in 4K I rarely have any crashing problems unless I go over 30 minutes. Then Camtasia seems to struggle with long 4K footage. I have noticed the larger the file size the more crashing I experience. 3. I don't know about Mac computers so cannot give a reliable answer. What I can say is that if your graphic card is older it may be struggling with processing and thus causing issues. This of course depends on what you are trying to do. 4. That is plenty of RAM. 5. Presenting slide and recording should not be a problem. Again, I would circle back to if you are recording while presenting, how long is the presentation. Maybe it is the time and size of the file. For example, if I do what you are doing but it goes over 30 minutes I start to see problems. In my experience Camtasia is not great a longer videos. 6. The screen size is going to depend on your graphic card and what your computer will handle. Mine is 3840 x 2160 and it is fine. But my computer has a high end graphic card and 4k monitors. 7. If Camtasia does not recognize the size of my screen I just resize the grid lines they give me. Again, only if your computer can handle it. 8. Not sure what you are asking. But if I have multiple recordings for one video, they all go into the same project. One project per video works for me. 9. I don't know about the proxy videos. Since I offload my video assets to a backup drive, I don't have issues with taking up too much space on the computer. Therefore, not sure if that causes an issue with Camtasia. So, in my case I see crashing a lot with longer videos, ones that have large file sizes, and sometimes if I am trying to make a complicated edit when the autosave kicks off. I have gotten into the habit of just manually saving before big edits just in case. Again I don't work for Camtasia so these are just my experiences and do not represent any technical insight from the company.

@@HeatherMajors thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Your comments are greatly appreciated. As you can probably tell from my rambling I am quite stressed as I have been struggling with this now for a few weeks. My first ever video two weeks back with Camtasia 2023 was 23 minutes long and it worked okay. I don't know why I've been having trouble since because I've been doing the same thing and with later attempts I have a timer in the room so I know they are under 15 minutes. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Every little bit of information helps such as knowing the external microphone is unlikely to be a problem. This means a lot to me Heather. Thank you so much

Thank you for sharing your interest in learning about the integrate function. Things like that are interesting to me, but I never know if others are like, "ok Heather, you can stop being a nerd now." Yes someone actually said that, lol.

You are welcome. :)

Steam is a a light weight editing tool and does not allow action buttons or clickable images. The best you have is the interactive feature where you can put a Microsoft Form in the video. The video will stop show the form, and then when the person is done, the video resumes. I talk about that a bit in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX_NZICol5qifc0

Hi, the biggest difference between Essentials and Create is that Create includes Audiate. This is a software that you can use to do text based editing on a video. For example, I was editing a video from a live session and the instructor said UMH several times. I wanted to take those out but it would take too long to do it manually. I ran the video through Audiate and said take out Ums. It remove, I kid you not, 980 instances of UMH in a 2 hour video. That would have take me days manually. It also can generate AI scripts and well as create a AI voice track. I have not used those last two since a I am a control freak about my scripts and find AI voices creepy. Even the 'good' ones seem off to me so I don't use them.

@@HeatherMajors thanks for this feedback😉🍀

Glad it helped

@@HeatherMajors I do also need the opposite now which I've not managed to figure out either. I don't suppose you're any further with that?

@@mrjdainsworth To be honest, I have not looked at it in a while.

You're welcome!

You are welcome and also love your handle.

So if the answer field is set to the default short answer which only allows 255 characters, you won't get the enter key to work. But if the form is set to long answer, which allows up to 10k characters you can use the enter key.

You are welcome. Glad someone else is working with transcripts. As a person with a learning disability it is near and dear to me that transcripts are available :)

You're welcome 😊

Hi, I just looked at the advanced options and do not see a choice to impact the notes in anyway.

@@HeatherMajors Ya, I couldn't see one either... and was hoping there might be a secret trick. LOL

@@amberschiffer3844 Well if there is I have not found it. Now it is in the back of my mind so maybe I will come across it, but not an obvi answer.

@@HeatherMajors Thx for troubleshooting with me!

Hi, they changed the sub model a few weeks ago. It was in my new video but your comment reminds me that I should update the descriptions of all the videos. Thanks.

Also, here is a link on the official web site that has a free trial if you are just getting started and don't know if you want to buy. www.techsmith.com/download/camtasia/ but it is now a yearly sub model.

As far as I can tell Microsoft never implemented that feature. A couple of years ago it was on their roadmap but then it quietly dropped off.

You are welcome. Glad it is working 🎉

Jason, thanks for sharing. I don't know a lot about audio so your perspective is very interesting. Especially given how much they charge for Audiate that is supposed to improve the audio. I tried Audiate and it was wasted on me.

I had to look this one up in the Microsoft documentation, and it looks like you need at a minimum the editor permission level. Any higher level will also work.

@@HeatherMajors Thanks, but he said that he already gave me full access. I created some rules yesterday, why doesn't it apply to the shared mailbox? It only works on my primary email.

@@QuennieRoseCataylo I will have to dig a bit to see what I can find.

@@HeatherMajors Thank you. Also, have you encountered not receiving any new emails in Outlook? trying to fix it by myself but it doesn't work

@@QuennieRoseCataylo I read that there was an exchange issue yesterday. That may be the problem. It could also be something your IT needs to investigate as not receiving email is usually an outage or a serious bug.

I have yet to figure out why Microsoft makes you download the file first and have not come across a hack for it. If I do I'll make a post.

@@HeatherMajors Thank you so much!!!

Glad you liked the video. Welcome to the group of people learning together.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi, glad you found the video informational. I hope you are now using shared channels in ways that suit your business practices.

Hi, if you have access to the old versions the trick I learned is to export the library and the reimport it into the new version as an additional library. In 2020 I did not realize that but in 2021 I figured it out so now have my 2021, 2022, and now the current 2023 libraries.

Carlos, thank you for sharing your feedback. I find the mouse highlighter cool but I always wonder if it’s just me and my Squirrley brain.

Glad it helped

The teleprompter takes some getting used to, but you are correct, it is helpful especially when one must say something in an exact way.

Yep, that is what I was trying to say but you said it better. I appreciate that you clarified so that others reading along can see the answer in various ways. Each person can process the info in a way that is meaningful to them. Thank you fellow learner.

Yes, I have 3 synced. My personal, my work, and a calendar for a club I belong to.
