[@markbrad123]

Thanks for the tip. Heres another one : Shift + Enter after address line for typing in addresses with no added spacing between address lines. Usual 'Enter' means new paragraph space.

[@KevinStratvert]

Glad you think so!

(reiterate) And this does change the spacing in the Normal style set. The Normal Style set is referenced by many other Paragraph styles, but not necessarily all. In certain cases, you will want to edit the Style directly, which has two methods. Through the Style editor, or by using applying changes to a selected Paragraph and then Right+Clicking the Style and choosing Update Stylename to Match Selection. To Reuse the styles, make sure to create a Template version of the Document with no Text. You can document the Styles in use by choosing to Print the Styles In Use instead of the pages, as available on the Print screen.

I was about to say why did Kevin waste his our time with a tutorial for line spacing. But from the start I was in unfamiliar territory 😅. Thanks

[@KevinStratvert]

Turns out there's some depth to the line spacing feature 😁

[@naimulislam9712]

Please make video about justified option issues on ms word, where the word spacing gets out of hand

[@KevinStratvert]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@glars37]

If you're wanting to change an individual paragraph, you don't have to try and select the whole paragraph. Just have your cursor flashing anywhere in it, make the spacing changes and the paragraph will change. Similarly, if you're wanting to change multiple consecutive paragraphs, you can just click anywhere in one of the end paragraphs and drag to anywhere in the paragraph at the other end, make your spacing changes and they will all change.

My Word.

[@KevinStratvert]

Word up!

[@moodberry]

MS makes some good software, but even though MS Word is the default for almost everyone nowadays, it is actually the WORST word processor I have ever used (and I have used plenty in my career as a technical writer) It drives me nuts when I have to use it in order to be compliant with what others are using.

This is less exciting than most of the titles in the series, but it’s probably not politically controversial.

Hello Kevin, I'm your KZbin subscriber Amit from India. I have a question Kevin plz help me, if I live in India but I want open a house cleaning small business in the US but I hire some employee but How I can manage this when I live India ?

[@KevinStratvert]

I'd get some initial guidance from ChatGPT and then take it from there. Here's what I got back: Hello Amit! Starting and managing a house cleaning business in the US while living in India is definitely an ambitious endeavor, but it's possible with the right approach and tools. Here are some steps and tips on how you can manage this business remotely: Legal Setup and Compliance: First, you'll need to establish your business legally in the US. This typically involves registering your business, obtaining the necessary licenses, and understanding local regulations regarding labor, business operations, and tax obligations. Consulting with a US-based lawyer who specializes in business and employment law would be essential. Hiring Local Management: Since you will be operating from India, having a trustworthy and competent management team on the ground in the US is crucial. This team would handle day-to-day operations, including supervising cleaning staff, interfacing with clients, and managing any immediate issues that arise. Use of Technology: Leverage technology to manage your business operations efficiently: Communication Tools: Use tools like Zoom, Slack, or Microsoft Teams to maintain clear and regular communication with your US team. Project Management Software: Tools like Asana, Trello, or Monday.com can help track tasks, deadlines, and overall project management. HR and Payroll Systems: Platforms like Gusto, Paychex, or ADP can help manage employee records, payroll, and compliance with US labor laws. Building a Customer Base: Marketing will be vital to attract clients. Utilize online marketing strategies such as a business website, social media marketing, and local online directories. Partnering with local businesses or real estate agents could also help gain initial traction. Quality Control and Feedback: Implement systems for quality control and customer feedback to ensure service standards are being met. This might include regular virtual inspections, customer satisfaction surveys, and an accessible complaint resolution system. Financial Management: Keep a close eye on your finances. Online accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero, which can handle multi-currency transactions and comply with US tax laws, will be invaluable. Visit Periodically: If possible, plan periodic visits to the US to meet with your team, inspect operations firsthand, and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders. By setting up robust management processes and making good use of technology, you can manage your US-based cleaning service effectively from India.

I hate that they changed how to add a page number. It used to be so easy. Now it is so complicated. Idiots.
