Microsoft Word Tutorials
Within all my tutorials I aim to help you develop your skills working within Word, Excel and Powerpoint as well as further your knowledge about the tools which are available within the Microsoft Office Software.
Throughout this channel I aim to cover simple subjects such as page numbers, margins, headers and footers, image, pictures and fonts as well as more advanced themes such as tables, mail merge, table of contents and electronic signatures.
Sharing tips and tricks which I discover along my journey is also an important aspect of this channel. I love the idea of giving people the solution to a problem they’ve been struggling with in Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint.
The channel began all because of a problem I had when I had to insert images into a Word Document. I couldn’t find a way to drag and drop multiple images into a table without them expanding across the page, being cropped or interfering with the rest of the text. It wasn’t until I finally sat down one day, determined to find the solution and developed a way to solve the problem. Having found the problem quite difficult to solve without knowing how to do it I decided to make a You Tube video about it. Never once believing that many people would watch it, let alone be so grateful.
After discovering how helpful a simple tutorial could be I decided to make further videos with the aim of once again helping as many people as possible.
DOCUMENT EXAMPLES
Marketing literature, dissertation, thesis, college paper, reports, assignments, essays, articles, letters, invoices, presentations, school work, posters, flyers, cards, greeting cards, artwork, invitations, certificates, legal papers, etc.

I have watched dozens of videos trying to understand how to do this. Some came with music. Some with super fast clicking and dragging. None came with such clear instruction. Kudos to you as well as thanks. Invaluable you are.

[@LisaDoe]

Great to hear! Thank you.

[@nelsongoncalves7898]

Incredible guide! Many thanks! I've gone from not having a clue how to use word to designing my very own letterhead, all in an hour. You saved me so much time and money.

[@LisaDoe]

Glad it helped! Love saving people time!!

[@RcfromtheDale]

I was having trouble with the color matching because I didn't have the eye dropper, so I went into my logo in 3D paint and just cropped the sections I wanted (red/orange) and then I inserted them as the shapes. Worked perfectly. Thank you for this video I learned a lot and now I have the knowledge on how to use word even better than I did before :).

[@ktgal860]

[@LisaDoe]

Hi Edward. Thanks for your comment. Have you already made the logo and need to know how to save it or do you need to know how to make a logo too?

[@edwardntuk1]

Thank you Lisa for getting back to me. Yes I’ve got my logo but I don’t how to convert from ms word to logo read from my websites especially how to change the white background. I’d appreciate if you could prepare a video tutorial on how to save and change of logo background or even better how to create a logo using ms word which May consist of 1, safe the logo in ms word..2, change of the background. Very appreciate your effort. God bless. Edy.

[@PrioriteamsVideos]

This was a FANTASTIC tutorial video...best I have ever seen! I learned so much about how to effectively use Word. Thank yoU!

[@LisaDoe]

That's great news. Always really good to hear how people have benefited from the tutorials.

[@kirbybear11]

This is awesome can you please tell me what version you are using? I have Microsoft and Mine looks a lot different and cant seem to find some of the tools you are using. I am just guessing do to a newer version as I just bought this a few months ago. However yours is way easier and better it seems. Thank you again for the tutorial!

[@LisaDoe]

My version is Word for Mac so it will look a little different to the PC version.

[@billpholde4816]

You just helped do a project I REALLY didn't want to do. I hate Word a little less because of your very well-paced tutorial. Wish I could've heard the kids playing in the garden - it would've been the best background music. Thanks again!

[@LisaDoe]

Thank you. I'm glad it made your task a little less painful :)

[@gombyasenoga6265]

Many thanks Lisa, Wow what an input in our Microsoft word life.

Hello young lady, you explain this very easily thank you very much from devon

[@LisaDoe]

Thank you :)

[@Shroogi787]

Very useful thank you.

[@jobmail9341]

Hi, Very nice presentation indeed. But there is one thing i wanted to add is if the text is longer and does not fit in to one document possible to create one which automatically continues as it is to next document? Just that to avoid using same template for page 2. I would also add footer instead of address telnr etc on the page corner, which obviously automatically continues to next page.

[@CentralHeatingBarrie]

Bravo, you made me look like a Word expert. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.

Glad it was helpful! :)

Excellent tutorial. To the point, clear, easy to replicate. Thanks so much.

[@LisaDoe]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your comment : )

[@bwlstudios4618]

Nicely done. What happens on page overflow? Do all the images automatically appear on page 2? I found this was not the case. I put the "blue triangles" in as Headers and Footers and that worked on a page overflow situation. But when I printed the document, the "triangles" where not aligned with the page but the margins. Any comments on this? Still, so well done. Thank you.

[@aldrinsunny694]

Thanks for guiding how to create a letter head, but when I look at the print preview there are spaces on the sides which moves the design on the page and messes up the whole letter :( How can I prepare a letter head in a word file and print it the way it is? You will be a lifesaver if you can explain that please

[@LisaDoe]

I'm not sure why there are spaces on the sides if your design/shapes are at the very edge of the page. Have you checked your margins and your printer setup? Do you have borderless printing?

[@aldrinsunny694]

@@LisaDoe Yes, checked margins and set them all to 0 and yet there are spaces. So stressful

[@johnreynen7348]

Thanks for the instructions, nice and easy to follow. I wish my "Word 365" behaved the same way as your Word version. After creating my template, when I want to start a new document, Word doesn't seem to give me an option to use my own personal template! (unless I am not seeing it)

It was an awesome video. How to avoid the added objects (logo, phone, website, and address icons) from moving away, is there an option to lock them up? Thanks

Thanks. I did the same, but when I click print the preview shows much different look. My header image gets stretched while I already make sure my document size is A4 and the printing size is A4.

[@masjidal-taubahchatsworth]

This is excellent

[@poposchen5591]

thanks for the great video, after trying the above and printing, the blue part on top left border and bottom right border cuts off during printing, anyway to fix that, the top and bottom doesnt cut off, only the left and right borders but off, thanks

[@LisaDoe]

Trying grouping all the shapes together. If not, it's difficult to say as it may be the way your printer is set up. Borderless printing, margins etc :)

[@charlesball9522]

I don't have the option to use the eyedropper tool. Is this a new feature or perhaps a Mac vs PC issue?

[@polonomichopodcast8206]

very cleared thanks a lot, by the way if the letter is more 1 page how do I add more pages?

[@LisaDoe]

Select all graphic elements, copy (CMD/CTRL + C) go into the headers and footer and paste (CMD/CTRL + V) the graphics into the headers and footers and line it all up. Come back into the main document and delete the original graphics and they will then be displayed on every page.
