[@nwinburn]

OMG, I haven't even reached the two-minute mark, and I'm already eternally grateful!!!

[@littleflower23]

This is such a helpful video. This is the 2nd time I've watched it in a few months so I can make the needed changes. You're a clear and concise presenter, I learned a lot. Thank you.

[@thesoftwarepro]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kareyreuben3869]

Thank you so much. I don't use WORD a lot and my knowledge gets rusty, this was very helpful.

[@thesoftwarepro]

I'm glad this look at changing Word formatting was helpful! It can be a big timesaver to change Word to work and look the way you want rather than repeatedly spending time to change each document.

[@monica4705]

Thank you for FINALLY helping me with the most frustrating issues I have had in trying to overcome....for years!

[@thesoftwarepro]

Fantastic! Glad my tutorial was helpful. Yes, the default Word formatting can be quite frustrating.

[@janeasmith7160]

Thank you for your excellent video! Your teaching is excellent and thorough and I appreciate you explaining every step clearly and for also explaining any background of the various functions and terms. Please continue making videos. Your expertise is greatly appreciated!

[@thesoftwarepro]

[@elizabethmatthews5178]

Very helpful, especially for someone weaned on Word Perfect and who hates Word precisely because of all its default mysteries. Thank you but I also need a lot more.

[@melanieannauthor]

Very helpful! I am now going to look for a more advanced tutorial by you! Thanks!

You're very welcome!

[@RayCerrone]

Great clip

[@lesliefajardo9458]

Very helpful. Might be a bit slower.

[@charlesterwilliams1736]

Really love your presentation. Makes it easy for those non-techies

[@sytnoxaep]

She is a new teacher

[@sanjay9300]

Very neat package of instructions. Appreciate it. Just a soft suggestion, though. Can you speed up the rate at which the tutorial proceeds, and without many pauses, just to keep the continuity and attention intact?

[@nplawz]

Agreed so I sped it up to 1.75 speed and was still able to easily follow.

[@thesoftwarepro]

Great suggestion! I've made improvements with more recent videos.

[@stephenlogan1115]

Sure looked like it was going to be easy, but when I did it and opened a new doc, template was not changed. What am I doing wrong?

[@morarajared9749]

Are you able to generate index if i send you 500 page document

[@harryturnbull1884]

Doesnt work with WPS. Whatever you do it defaults to the original.

[@sytnoxaep]

Boom Bam Software pro is there for studying computer

[@gavinrose1058]

I have set the default in the proper way in Word 2007 over and over. I've done the same with other setting with similar results. Word makes me furious.

[@thesoftwarepro]

I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems saving changes to the default formatting in Word 2007. It's been a long time since I've worked with this version but it sounds like the changes aren't being saved to the Normal template. Check to see if you have this option in Word 2007. Go to File > Options > Advanced. In the Save section, pick the option to Prompt before saving Normal template. Next, make changes to the default formatting as mentioned in this training. Then, exit Word. If you see the prompt, confirm to save. If you don't see a prompt, then there's a system issue keeping the Normal template from changing.
