Thank you very much, very informative. I done as you told, succeeded.👍

[@karannath911]

Excellent video you save my time

[@karineeid2074]

Thanks for the video! However, when I apply this the font automatically changes to calibri, even though I have a different font in the document before following the steps. Any recommendations for making the heading font standard? Is the page brake between chapters automatic? It does not happen in my document.

[@baashi3578]

Brilliant, thank you good sir!

[@tahaaburkhes2524]

[@sbandi9]

[@raymondho2405]

An excellent short video really helpful, Word is so awkward, buggy and thinks for itself too much when working with on large documents like a thesis.

[@karimnafie]

Thank you so much ... it helped me a lot ...

[@Napoleon4778]

I have a slight problem. When I number the first chapter, the subsections or the next chapters do not get numbered automatically. It just adds '1.' as a prefix to the first chapter. That's it.

[@Yuri_xx]

I have the same problem, if you found solution, please let me know

[@smartiee74]

Thank you for this!!!

[@ShortsOfInsight]
