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.

Thank you for this great video, Lisa. I am desperately trying to reduce the width of an Excel table that I pasted into Word. Would you know how to do that?

[@LisaDoe]

Create a text box and paste the table into the text box. You can then reduce the size of the excel table : )

Thank you, just when I think that there's no point in me watching because I already know about tables, I learn something new. Question, is there a way of coloring in the borders around a specific cell?

[@LisaDoe]

Yes. Where I showed you how to change the border there is a 'pen colour' icon with a dropdown menu - here you can select the border colour:)

@@LisaDoe thank you.
