Thank you Dr. Clark. One of the most concise and effective demonstrations I have seen yet. You've done a great service with these tutorials compared to all of the other nonsense posted on the net. You've shown us the proper use of the available features to quickly achieve the results we want. Thank you!

[@LittleMissJagoda]

Just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm writing my dissertation and was strangling with all the headings and had no idea how to do the table of content. Your video saved me so much time.

[@marjielischer]

Thank you for this tutorial. I work as a paralegal filing in the Patent Office and this sure helped make things faster and easier. Thanks for doing this.

[@kellymhanson]

One day into writing my dissertation and I am so glad I found your amazing video. 13 minutes flies by when you're learning something superbly useful! THANK YOU!

[@DoryVideo]

My pleasure, glad it was helpful for you

[@stephenpeacock8592]

Superbly-judged guide, delivered at a consistent pace. The title was very accurate and ensured I wasn't disappointed by the content and learned everything I needed to in the limited time I had. Most grateful.

[@BoyanGrigorov]

Dory thank you so much for the concise video on paragraphs. I am amazed at how little it takes to use word as it was meant, and how much time you can save by doing so. Great video tutorial!

[@Sideditz723]

Thank you- that was one of the best tutorials I have had on this subject. Very, very useful

[@leroibolos4679]

Mr Dory, I've not used word for about twenty years (as I got into other things) recently I have had to get back into report writing and I found myself in a very strange and foriegn place. Your videos are spot on sir. Thank you so very much. I will be tuning in more often.

[@kar1baby1]

Thank you, My Tutor was not as thorough - loved your style of teaching ... understood everything first time. Thanks again...

[@cleavey2]

Seriously this is a very complex tutorial in a simplest form, something unusual on KZbin, more like a commercial tutorial, I really appreciate this.

[@DoryVideo]

+Kolajo Adeyinka glad you like it and have found it useful.

[@DoryVideo]

+Kolajo Adeyinka thanks

[@ericerickson4876]

Best formating tutorial I’ve seen so far. Thanks so much.

[@juanitakloppers6724]

Thank you James. This has been the best tutorial I've seen. I have been struggling to fix numbered headings in an existing document, and your tutorial was the best and simplest way to fix the issues.

[@DoryVideo]

Happy to help!

[@dennissakala1284]

Having searched through volumes of KZbin videos, this video has been the most educative for me with respect to the subject of formatting and table of contents. Thank you very much. I really needed to watch this; you've simplified formatting beautifully. Off to formatting my document now.

[@jackwalsh2969]

Great explanation.. Thank you, my dissertation is due and I now have a decent contents page thanks to this tutorial :)

[@RT-rt9rt]

Excellent tutorial. I wish all YT tutorials were as good as this. Thank you very much...

[@DoryVideo]

My pleasure

[@Seve-id8jp]

Really really helpful thank you. I work in construction and like many in the industry use spread sheets competently but always shy away from using word for more than a simple letter. feel more confident about writing my next O&M manual now! thanks again. I'll definitely be passing on to my colleagues.😆

[@sauravbaidya4012]

Just Superb! Excellent step by step demonstrated. Thanks a lot!

[@alaya-nelleedwards9441]

Thank you Dr Clark, you have taught me something I never thought I could learn!

[@SJVKOC]

Great tutorial. I reviewed over 8 tutorials and this was by far the best. Clear and great use of examples to thoroughly explain the subject in a few minutes.

[@DoryVideo]

Very happy to have been of help

[@NUkiwi]

Best 13 and a half minutes spent on KZbin in a while. Thanks.

[@jayrexy1381]

Thank you so much for this. Been applying this my office's templates and my boss loves it, makes everything so much easier.

[@midyolumide5770]

[@KathrynKimbley]

OMG Where have you been all my life?!?!!? I only recently discovered that this function existed through a friend and he'd not had the time to show me. This video has been priceless to learn how to do it step by step. I think I'll save the template I created as a basic one I can work from so I don't have to do it every time. Thank you ever so much!

[@DoryVideo]

[@netoosethi]

Dr. Clark, I enjoyed your command and control over English language, use of appropriate words and sentences, presented with such clarity, articulation, and definitely a sexy Scottish accent:). Your video tutorial has helped me immensely in writing my complex litigation document to Virginia Court of Appeals and United States Supreme Court. I am Thankful for your generosity and kindness. Netoo Sethi.

[@DoryVideo]

+Netoo Sethi Scottish? Definitely NOT Scottish. Thanks for the comments though. I’m English by the way :-)

[@thuesonk]

Certainly helped me out a bunch. I am using this for contract formatting, which has many more than 3 heading levels and I do not want to show every sub-heading in the TOC. There is an option that Dr. Clark got me to where you can choose a custom TOC where you can choose the levels to display. I only wanted Heading levels 1 & 2 to keep the TOC from being 5 pages long. IT WORKED thanks to this vidoe...!

[@DoryVideo]

Thanks!

[@kavibeug]

Thank you. Worked like a Charm. I followed the path too and emptied the two files.

[@dibassett]
