I have formatted many books in word and can't believe I have been doing it the hard way! This will make the process much easier, thank you!

[@erinwrightwriting]

I am delighted to hear this! Thank you for watching!

I don't remember I heard a narrator voice calm as yours 😍
Thank you for quality content.

You are very kind. Thank you for watching!😊

Thank you so much for your videos on indexing, headings, and so much more. I have been working on a very challenging lengthy directory and your videos have been a Godsend! Your step-by-step style makes it easy to follow. The only thing I would have liked to see in this video is if there is a way to create multiple headings in your custom style and save them all at once with the same name. It appears that you have to create each custom heading individually. Thank you again!

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! I don't believe there is a way to create multiple custom headings simultaneously. That sounds like it would be a handy option, though! I wish you all the best with your directory project!

Wonderful, thanks from India. From last three hours I was trying to get the normal default headings in my Microsoft word file, and your video is just what I was searching. 😘😘

[@erinwrightwriting]

I am so glad you found the information you were looking for! Thank you for watching! 😊

[@mamta1593]

Hey, you are welcome, dear! I got the borderline to finish my Ph.D. thesis and your all videos are so helpful. I have a query can we have a two separate tables list for figures and a list of tables, both with auto update and auto numbering? If yes please suggest a☺ relevant video of yours.

[@erinwrightwriting]

Great question! You can have a list of figures and a separate list of tables. I have a separate tutorial on that topic that also includes updating the list: th-cam.com/video/z6NP31Q1w3M/w-d-xo.html.

[@sf9530]

Thanks for the great video. I noticed you changed the font from Calibri Light +Headings to the regular The Hand Black font. When would you choose the +Headings or +Body fonts?

[@erinwrightwriting]

Great question! When you are creating a custom heading style, you can choose from any font installed on your computer. Thank you for watching!

[@christinelihavi7714]

Thanks for your step by step tutorial please create a tutorial about Microsoft excel formula am ineed of the tutorial

[@erinwrightwriting]

Hello, Christine. Thank you for watching! I'm unable to create an Excel formula video right now. However, I encourage you to check out Mike Tholfsen's channel (th-cam.com/users/MikeTholfsenvideos) because he has quite a few Excel videos. Best of luck!
