I was trying to do an assignment for a class, and I couldn’t figure out why my page # kept disappearing when I typed in my name…. or vice versa. I was getting so frustrated. I found this video and I was able to solve the issue! Thank you so much! New subscriber .😊👍🏼

Great tips Erin, would you please advise me if we can make captions for tables like "Table 1" and "Table 1a" etc. Many thanks

[@erinwrightwriting]

Great question! You can create this type of caption if you have already established heading numbers. I have a tutorial about heading numbers that you may find helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXXWnHqBmrd0bcU. I also have a tutorial showing how to add the numbering scheme to the captions afterward: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2fSYY2FntaBZqc. I wish you all the best with your Word project!

I hate watching these video's because they never seem to work when I try it with my windows 365. Everything was going fine till I selected the '1 of x' option for the page number. It made the change, but instead of putting it on the right side of the page where the Alt-Shift-p number was, it replaced the text on the left side of the page.

How can I add the file name in footer only showing the first 12 characters from file name?

[@erinwrightwriting]

That is an interesting question! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a solution without using a macro. If you are comfortable using macros, here is an article from Tips.net that you may find helpful: wordribbon.tips.net/T013316_Using_a_Portion_of_a_Documents_Filename_in_a_Header.html. I wish you all the best with your project!

I need to learn how to put footers but you didn’t mention about footers.

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! To combine text and page numbers in footers, select the Insert tab and then select Footer, as shown at about 01:02 in the tutorial. I wish you all the best with your Word project.
