I am impressed. An excellent tutorial. Your speaking speed is just right and highlighting the actions to be taken is perfect. Many other tutorials ignore these basic facts; speak too fast and the mouse is moved so quickly that one has to replay the video umpteen times to try and understand the presentation. I understood this presentation very quickly - thank you.
Great question! You may want to add space to increase readability or make particular text stand out. You may also want to add space to create distance from nearby tables, figures, or images.
Is there a way to keep text on an entire page -- right now if there's a new paragraph that's 4 lines and only enough space at the bottom of a page for 2 lines, it moves the whole paragraph to the next page. I want the first 2 sentences on the bottom of the page, then the next 2 sentences on the next page.
Great question! You can change how paragraphs break between pages by selecting the entire document or just the affected paragraph. Then, right-click and select Paragraph from the shortcut menu. Select the Line and Page Breaks tab. Then, uncheck Widow/Orphan control and uncheck Keep lines together. Select the OK button. I hope that helps!
Thank you so much for watching! I have an older video that shows a variety of ways to insert special characters, including the em dash: th-cam.com/video/168W56wfoh0/w-d-xo.html.
Hi, thanks for your videos. So for what I've learned: I NEVER have to hit the key space more than one time between words and in ANY another circumstance. But instead ONLY use the paragraph indentation to move horizontally and for the vertical spaces ONLY use the “above paragraph spacing” or the “below paragraph spacing” and NEVER the return, return, return, return...? ok? Thanks…

When should I choose to add some space before a paragraph? Could you, please, give an example of its necessity?

It sounds like you have a good handle on things! Thank you for watching!
In Word 2021, I've found that there's no way you can squeeze down the space between paragraphs below the default setting.
I love yu
You are very kind. Thank you for watching!
