Hi Erin! Great vidja🙂👍🏻

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you so much!

Hi Erin:) & thx for such a good work. I run into difficulties when I try to combine 2 docs or copypaste 1 into another, from a doc I got in the mail, a pages doc, etc.. any tips? Thx in advance🙏🙏🙏

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! I agree with you: combining docs or pasting one into the other can be a bit problematic. I will have a full tutorial on combining docs coming up in the next few months. One tip when pasting shorter text is to select the "Keep text only" option and then create new formatting within Word rather than keeping the formatting from the original source. Best of luck!

Hello Erin! Can You make video on how to use translator option from Review Tab.

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for the great suggestion! I just added it to my list of future videos.

How would you delete a black page without altering the two layer format?

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! Can you provide more information about the type of layers you are referring to?

Thanks again Erin. As with some of the reviewers I seem to be having trouble with this one. My copy of Word is not responding as yours does. I will investigate !

[@erinwrightwriting]

Hi, John. I just tested the blank page function on Windows 10, Windows 11, and Mac. Strangely, it didn't work on Windows 11, but after closing and reopening the software, it started working again. I left feedback and hope everyone else who encounters problems will do the same. :)

Dear Ms. Wright, I tried all your tips to delete a blank page within my document. Nothing works and any attempts also messes up my page numbering! Any ideas?

[@erinwrightwriting]

I am sorry to hear you are having trouble! Unfortunately, I don't have any additional advice. However, files do become corrupt, so you might want to save your file under a different name to see if the problem persists. If it does, you may want to consider contacting Microsoft support for help. Best of luck!

[@decoderhacker4062]

So lets say an entire page is filled with textboxes/images. How would I be able to add a page? I can't seem to click near the end of the page (only the top) and when I add an additional text box near the end of the document, the option to add a new page becomes unavailable. What should I do?

[@erinwrightwriting]

That is an interesting question! If possible, you may want to try temporarily "cutting" that last text box, adding the blank page, and then pasting the text box back in. Best of luck!

[@HarshSharma-qq9bl]

I first inserted a theme for my project, for the cover page but after I press enter or insert blank page it inserts the same homepage (theme) again and again kindly help

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! I wasn't able to recreate your issue, so I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions other than to save your file under a different name to test if there is a corruption in your original file. If you believe you have a software glitch, I encourage you to leave feedback with Microsoft. Best of luck!

[@HarshSharma-qq9bl]

@@erinwrightwriting ok,Actually I bought Macbook M1 last, and I am using Microsoft office 2019 which I bought for USD 99 might be there is glitch in software

[@holmesss01]

Just wouldnt work for me... I think word is broken

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! I am sorry you are having trouble. Word does, in fact, break sometimes. If you haven't already done so, I encourage you to report the issue to Microsoft through the Feedback button in the Backstage view.

[@samairakhanna6032]

not working .

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! I just tested it and it's still working here on my end (Word for Microsoft 365 on Windows 11). You may want to leave feedback for Microsoft in case others are having issues also. I hope you find a solution!
