I am signed up for all your courses, but sometimes find it challenging to complete the whole course, then of course when I need help and I know you’ve addressed my issue I can’t find it, or it takes me too long and I give up. These short snippets are wonderful and allow me to save them to watch again when I need them. Thank you for all your hard work. I’m an attorney so I like to understand and create my own formatting and you’ve definitely helped me.
Great tips! I needed to repeat a heading column on my document just yesterday! Took your basic course and I highly recommend it to everyone, not just legal professionals. I'm writing a family history and your lessons have made the process so much easier for me. I've used Word forever and never really knew how to use it until I took your course. Love that you keep improving your already fantastic lessons!
I've been using Word since the early '90s as a technical writer, and Deborah's web site and videos have taught me things I'm ashamed I did not know. My only table hack that I can offer is how to move a table row up or down quickly: click anywhere in a row, press Alt+Shift+Up arrow or Down arrow to move the whole row up or down. It's also a great shortcut to use to move paragraphs quickly in a document (but NOT good for moving paragraphs within a table, since the whole row is automatically selected).
I love that! I've been stuck doing the "insert a new row, CTRL-X the row to move, CTRL-V the row into new position, delete the blank row" thing. I did not know this was possible - thanks!
@@DeborahSavadra Happy to share a new trick! That key combo is also terribly useful when rearranging items in bulleted lists. I read somewhere it was introduced with Word's Outline View as a way to 'hoist' sections of the outline. Since each paragraph carries its own outline ranking (usually 1, I think), it works on paragraphs too.When you have a hierarchical bulleted or numbered list, using Alt+Shift Up, Left, Right, and Down arrows is the best and quickest way to order and reorganize the list. And again, keep up your good work! I never really understood the power of using building blocks till I saw your videos and posts on it; it makes my tech writing day job duties much easier.
Deborah I have problem with word document I need you help with it. if possible I can show you and share my screen with you to tell me how to fix it. I would really appreciate it.
Is it possible to apply a macro to tables in Word? I want to automatically have the words that are pasted in the table go to all UPPERCASE then, set the font size and color, align-center left, distribute rows, AutoFit contents, and AutoFit window. I can do all this manually but I haven't had any luck making it a macro.
A macro probably isn't the best choice for doing all this work. If this is a table that has some common characteristics each time (same number of columns, etc.), I'd configure a sample table with all of those characteristics (including forcing the font to UPPERCASE) then save it as a Quick Part in the Tables gallery. It's this technique (legalofficeguru.com/reuseable-footers-quick-parts/) except use the Tables gallery rather than the Footers gallery.
Without using DESIGN, in the LAYOUT tab, → click ‘Repeat Header Rows’ works fine. BUT if click TABLE DESIGN’ → still works ok until select any design. Then, the Repeat Header Rows fails. Want: how to fix this? [Try this at your end with this document to see what happens.]
Well, if you choose a pre-configured table design, then, yes, you'll overwrite the table settings you already had. Try reversing the order of your steps ( _i.e._, choose your table design _first_, THEN set your header row).
Ohhh my word ....I have watch so many TH-cam videos to solve my problem and finally .... yes your video was on point ..thank u "what a relief"
