So good to learn from you , I didn't even know about the "Office Clipboard". I just had knowledge of "Windows Clipboard History".

Thank you. Your video was informative and easy to follow. I could not comprehend the information from Microsoft Word. They tend to forget that there are many users who require simple step by step instructions.

​@@erinwrightwriting hello sweetheart

[@masterjericho9026]

yk that theres a version history in google docs, if you just copy paste it'll show as it's just pasted, but if you use Undetectable AI's human typer, it makes it seem manually written

[@samh5550]

hello Erin, I hope every thing goes well with you.
I have problem with MS word. I'm using another language but not English, "Turkish", and it's highlighting everything written with Turkish as wrong written or spelling, and hole page.
do you have video already published to solve this ?
if not what should I search for?

[@erinwrightwriting]

Hello, thank you for watching! I don't have a tutorial on that specific topic, yet; however, you can reset the proofing language by going to the Review tab > Language > Set Proofing Language. From there, you can select Turkish. You may have to save and reopen your file for the changes to take effect. Best of luck!

[@siyabaslam16]

How to find one on mac?

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! Word for Mac doesn't have a built-in clipboard like the PC version. You can, however, access the operating system's clipboard by opening the Finder > Edit > Show Clipboard. Best of luck!
