Create A Word Cloud In Microsoft Word

Please check out new and updated video: • Creating Eye Catching ...
============================================================
Word clouds are very popular and can form an interesting and attractive image within a document fairly easily - and with no copyright or license to worry about if you've created it yourself. In this quick video I show you how easy it is now to create beautiful word clouds right within Microsoft Word itself - no switching to websites or other applications. Create professional looking word clouds from your own documents in seconds!

Hi, web designer over here. In all the searches I've done over the decades, in attempts to find exactly what I am looking for, as well as the solution and tools needed, this is probably the first time literally everything needed was in one simple and concise video. Thank you! This is just perfect.

[@TheTechTrain]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! Very glad you found it useful.

[@helensay2191]

One of the most useful tutorials I've seen, thank you. Much better than all those pesky chrome extensions and software installs

[@qztsl4]

Thanks for the tutorial. There's a scenario where I have two words that should appear in the word cloud together. For example "Apple iPhone". However when the word cloud is created, the words are considered disconnected and don't appear together. How do I address this?

[@sarahbrown8599]

Thank you - extremely useful. One tip - if you're using Office 365 you need to be logged into your microsoft account in order to be able to download the app from the store.

[@netteefuan8578]

Great video! On point, waffle-free, easy to follow and just what I needed - thank you so much.

[@philipgarsidebooks]

Very clear and helpful tutorial. Thank you. I'm using Word 2016 and the plug-in works fine. Lots of options so you can play around creating different word clouds until you get one that looks good to you.

[@TheTechTrain]

I'm glad you like it, thanks.

[@reneecaines9097]

Thank you! I went from wondering how to make one to completing exactly what I wanted in 5 minutes. Thanks!

[@robrodusky5204]

Liked the video. How do you make sure that two word phrases stay together such as 'talent management'. I have seen in other tutorials that you put the tilde (~) between the words to keep them together but with this it just keeps the tilde there. Appreciate the help.

[@marghov123]

Thank you, very nice. Just one question, is there any way to have specific words larger or centered?

[@JJJJ-gl2uf]

Very good. Adding the developer tab is not something I knew even existed, but it opens up all kinds of possibilities with Word. Many thanks.

[@violetramoshaba4463]

Great video, easy steps to follow indeed.

[@TheTechTrain]

Glad it was helpful!

[@StarsStars714]

I'm right clicking on the word cloud to save it, however no save as option is appearing. Nothing shows up when I right click. I followed the instructions to the T. Do you know what the issue could be?

[@lesterizaac2539]

Thanks for sharing. I`m using Office 365. Could perfectly follow you in every step. But my cloud shows same sice fonts for every word. Couldn´t make it vary the font size randomly from one word to another. Have any clue?

[@thamyjunis]

I was just assigned to create a Word Cloud and had no clue. Your video was precise, easy to follow, and right on. Thank you for taking the time to share this video. I'm all set up and ready to create my word cloud now thanks to you!

[@gerriricci3343]

incredibly easy and very clear instructions. Thank you.

[@MegaTaxiMom3]

Thank you for the step by step including how to get additional tabs and add ins those are the things frequently missing from computer tutorials that leave me completely perplexed!

[@TheTechTrain]

I'm so glad you found the video useful and easy to follow

[@cornflakegirl1977LJ]

Love this video. Easy to follow and I can't wait to make my first word cloud without having to use an online facility. Thanks.

[@SelormHelen]

Thank you! It was very easy for me to create my word cloud. Thanks

[@papayonarchitect3392]

Fantastic teaching and explanation. Just a questions to ask...how can one determine the numeric frequency of word occurence without depending on the size of the word in word cloud output? Thank you

[@juliusbulus4934]

So easy to follow through. Thank you so much🙏

[@sharronthurston1838]

Totally what I was looking for and made so easy. Perfect for my next workshop

[@TheTechTrain]

[@susanwoodruff5299]

Can you make one particular word stay in the center? Also, can you print to any size? thank you

[@unnikmenon3495]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

[@sarahc357]

I was half-expecting you to sell us a plugin. It happens all the time when I'm looking for a quick and easy tutorial. Thx! Using a word cloud in a word doc right now to show how many times a word came up in survey results.

[@namirawilliams565]

Fabulous video, so simple thanks

[@TheTechTrain]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vandamfine]

Hey, great tutorial. Quick question though. Can you use the word cloud commercially? Like on a t-shirt?

[@sunshineday5928]

Thank you, I got stuck at the add-in's tab, you page has three options to choose from. My word page only had the two options for add-ins, I am missing the blue add-in that you clicked on. thanks for any feedback.

[@awaaz9456]

Fantastic! Thank you. Been looking for this for a long while...

[@AdrianWeston-i8j]

Just tried this but it comes up with a message saying "Detected language not known". It's in English so I'm rather confused, any suggestions? Brilliant video, thank you, also can you use a shape i.e. a heart for teh cloud? TIA

[@TRAVISSNOW1]

Excellent turn by turn explanation! Well done!

[@marydarlington2376]

Great video and very easy to follow, many thanks

[@TheTechTrain]

[@janicewright5165]

Thank you! Just changed my life! Lol So much easier than I imagined!

[@harmonyrubble]

Is there a way to create a word cloud that only uses one word. I am trying to use this for a personalized gift item with a child's name. I have tried to use this but there is only 1 word coming up in my "cloud". Cheers and thanks for the video tutorial! Rosy

[@terribarnhart9355]

Great video! You anticipated all my questions. Thank you.

[@bitcoinmaster3634]

I've been looking to do this for years. Thank you.

[@TheTechTrain]

You're very welcome!

[@genevieverichards6998]

what version of word are you using? I can open the developer tab but cannot see Office ad-ins.

[@georgiaradz]

I had the same problem but found that mine was on the insert tab not developer

[@julieneumann]

Thank you, for making this so easy!

[@triciasutherland]

This was so helpful!! Thank you so much! I've been struggling with how to create one...and you just saved me! Again, thank you!

[@TheTechTrain]

Thank you very much, and you're welcome

[@tomgillaspy7897]

Very easily understood tutorial. Is there a way to change the shape of the word cloud? For example, you often see word clouds in the shape of a tree or a heart. If that is possible, a demo of that would be great.

[@anabelf1972]

Wow so easy and well explained. Thanks for the tips on this.

Very useful and easy to understand. Thanks

[@StyleMeMona]

amazing and clear tutorial, thanks!

[@thokopauline7886]

Thank you so much it was well demonstrated .Thumbs up

[@TheTechTrain]

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it.

[@jennifreesjourney9817]

VERY USEFUL. Do you do anything on skill share?

[@TheTechTrain]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. I have looked at Skill Share actually, but to be honest at the moment I'm still working full time as a teacher, working in two different schools, and balancing that with family isn't easy, so large projects like that are on a list at the moment. However, I'm hoping to drop to part time teaching and spend more time on KZbin and other platforms, such as Skill Share, instead. Watch this space, and help spread the word about the channel so I can take the occasional step outside my classroom!

[@milindkamat762]

[@sudheerkokilavani6049]

Is there a limitation on text content size? number of words? or does it needs any formatting of text? I was trying to generate word cloud from survey results ( comments part).

[@archibaldbruce]

good to a point, but I don't understand what was that final picture of scrambled words you put on the page , just a picture or ' the cloud'? and how do you access the word document then from any cell phone or laptop if you created this on your pc?..where is the central place? where is the cloud?

[@TheTechTrain]

Word clouds are a type of diagram in which the words of a document are displayed according to their frequency. Words which are most used tend to be larger, and often towards the middle, whereas less frequently used words are smaller and fill the gaps. As well as being interesting they are often seen as being decorative too. (And as for where 'the cloud' is - the cloud is just somebody else's computer!)

[@egig1364]

Thank you very much. Once you close the "Pro Word Cloud" side panel how do you reopen to create another cloud?

[@TheTechTrain]

Just go to the Developer tab and click 'Add-ins'

[@dallasspence9227]
