    Hi Erin, I find your MS Word video tutorials very helpful, I am currently editing a large ms word document, which include over 400 x pages of text and tables, Annexes and Appendixes. Using various uTube tutorials including your own I am trying to properly formulate the document, I have managed to include a list of Contents, I have also included chapters, my problem is trying to page number the document especially those pages where tables are concerned and also trying to include Chapter No for instance. As an example: “Appendix 1 to Annex A to Chapter 2” would normally page No like this 2A-1-1, i.e Chapter 2 Annex A Appendix 1 Page 1. Can you help me with this problem.

    Hi Erin, thank you for the tutorial. However I have a question regarding the cover page. Word automatically puts the cover page on the first page, but is it possible to move the cover page so that it would be on the second page instead?
    Have a nice day!

    • @erinwrightwriting
      @erinwrightwriting  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, Viktor, thank you for watching! Word generally only allows one cover page at the start of the document. However, you can click inside the cover page and then select Insert > Blank page. This should insert a blank page before the cover page. I have a separate tutorial on working with blank pages that you may find helpful: th-cam.com/video/TU3NmGsYI04/w-d-xo.html. Another option is to create a separate Word file that looks like a cover page. You can then insert that file anywhere in another Word file, as shown in my tutorial about inserting one file into another: th-cam.com/video/R9g8UbPdwTQ/w-d-xo.html. I wish you all the best with your Word project!

    • @erinwrightwriting
      @erinwrightwriting  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much for watching! I have an upcoming tutorial on how to merge two documents. In the meanwhile, the basic steps are to place your cursor in the first document where you want to insert the second document, then select Insert > Object > Text from File. Then, locate the second document in the Insert File dialog box.

    Hello Erin, thank you for the tutorial. I have successfully created a cover page and a set of some other useful pages. I would like to share the template pages with my colleagues so that everybody can use them. When they open the Word document, they cannot see the cover pages I created. I assume they need to reload/implement/launch some kind of cover-pages-add-on or something like that. Opening the word document that I created is simply not enough, the cover pages do not display. Do you have any idea how to share the template with cover pages with other people? That would be very helpful. Thank you!

    • @erinwrightwriting
      @erinwrightwriting  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for watching! I have been pondering your question all afternoon and can't come up with a reason why your cover page won't display if you saved it in your template. My best suggestion is to save your template under another name, delete the existing cover page, and then add a new one--if the second one does display, there could be a formatting issue or corruption in the original. If you are still having trouble, I encourage you to contact Microsoft Support for assistance. They are generally helpful and will sometimes tell you if there is a known glitch. Best of luck!

    I created custom cover pages and saved in the cover page Gallery so I can get and use them in my end BUT, WHEN I SENDING THAT CUSTOM WORD TO MY CUSTOMERS, they CANNOT apper the cover pages I created in gallery in there end. Please help me to fix this problem.

    • @erinwrightwriting
      @erinwrightwriting  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for watching! That is a very interesting question. The styles added to the galleries are only intended for the individual who created them, rather than styles that are attached to individual files that will be shared with others. One solution may be to create a template with your cover style and then have your customers save the template within their own software. I wish you all the best!

      @@erinwrightwriting Thanks for responding! It looks pretty cumbersome though. I just put the cover page at the beginning of the document and adjusted the page numbering. Glad you reminded me of the Microsoft Community site. I visited there a lot a couple of years ago when Microsoft totally changed how "Comments" were shown in Review and the blowback was pretty fierce. Microsoft finally capitulated and restored the original "Comment" protocol as an option. The lesson there is never piss off writers and editors. ;-)

      In Adobe Acrobat, you can remove (although not reduce) the gap between pages by selecting View, Page Display, and then unchecking "Show Gaps between Pages." Please note that on my laptop (PC, Windows 10), this setting will only change if I am viewing the pages at 100%. If I am viewing the pages at a larger percentage, the setting just won't change for some reason. Best of luck!
