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.

Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. I have a work document where the headers and footers are set up with tabs rather than text boxes. The front page has a strip of image (inserted into the header) which runs down the entire right side of the page. The image is formatted to wrap text/tight so that long titles don't run over it. I can set it up so that it looks perfect in print preview, but when I actually print the doc (to pdf) I get a white strip between the image and the edge of the page. I have to pull the image off the edge in order to get it to print correctly. I think this is something to do with a Word update because it used to work fine! Do you have any suggestions for how to fix the image in place so that wisiwig? Thanks!

Hi Lisa, I've been driving myself crazy. I'm a legal assistant and I need to create a Will document and I must have the first page with no header but must have a footer....the middle pages need a header with page numbers starting at 2 and the same footer as before, the last page needs the same header (page number) and NO footer. The text of the Will needs to be continuous so the section page break isn't being helpful. Help, please!

Why can't a drag my logo or text box in the header? They are locked in place. Thanks

[@LisaDoe]

You have to copy the logo and paste it into the header OR go into the headers and then insert the logo from there. If it's locked, right click on it, go to WRAPPING and click on IN FRONT OF TEXT. Now you should be able to move it anywhere in your document : ))

After you close the header what you write feels like it fades y

[@farazhaider9916]

How to add subscript in the Header? I use the tabs in the word but it still remains as normal text, and not changes into subscript.

[@farazhaider9916]

Note: It is a chapter title.

[@farazhaider9916]

In the chapter title, the subscript is enabled, but in the header (where the title is linked) it doesn't.

[@LisaDoe]

You could try typing some normal text followed by the chapter title, make the chapter title subscript and then delete what you don't need. Word can be quite quirky sometimes!

[@luciofernando10]

What if I want them vivid color instead faded?

[@LisaDoe]

Everything will fade in the headers and footers to identify between them but if you save as a PDF or print the document the colours will be vibrant throughout.

[@luciofernando10]

@@LisaDoe Thanks for replying.
