  • There's people who know Word, and there's people who think they know Word. Here's a slow-paced How-To Series that demystifies Microsoft Word and Office and helps YOU join the folks who understand the power of Word.

    Great video. I had no idea how to use Word. I'm learning a lot lately about diving into Word.
    Thanks

    Outstanding. Every college student preparing a resume needs to watch this one.

    I'm not an admin professional by any means however, your videos keep my knowledge rolling. I am able to write my own professional grade documents. Thanks!

    I never knew that beginning Microsoft Word users do not use tabs and indents but spaces to move text along the page. I take full advantage of the power of Word. This movie was helpful and entertaining to me. I hope to see more of Scott Hanselman teaching us Microsoft Word.

    I watched a few of your word videos. Wow. I have been trying to master word since the early days and as a Old Word Perfect user it was a completely different concept. I have got to the point that my documents work well for our business. I do a lot of long documents, Leases etc. The are all mail merge documents that complete the contract. Every one of your videos speaks to me in a language I can completely understand and comprehend. I would love to see some videos on advanced Mail Merge and Master Documents. Thank You and these are the best word videos I have come across. As a side note I am 70 years old and I spend about an hour and a half everyday watching videos on software I use in my business. I am not happy till I truly master the software I have. I have been in business for 41 Years and don't plan on retiring till I am around 80. Still a lot to learn.

    Wow, you've open my mind. I'm never going to use Word the same way. Keep it going !

    Hi Scott. You're a God send and a wonderful teacher. The company I work for took too long in transitioning entirely over to Word (former Corel users) -- there's no professional training to be had and with the workload picking up so fast; it's overwhelming. Even with professional training (that I've had years ago), they will not get into the essential details that you explain here. You make using Word easy and fun. Thank you very much!!

  • @lvmyfam11
    @lvmyfam11 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for posting this video. I would like to suggest that you encourage using list levels, rather than customizing a bunch of indents and tabs, when stepping down a level in a bullet-ed list. Simply click on the Bullet List Arrow on the Main Menu Ribbon, and select, "Change List Level". MUCH easier!

    I've always used tab stops - but never knew the specifics of each. Thanks for the run through!

  • @normamcclure6468
    @normamcclure6468 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks again for a truly informative Word video. I've been what I've considered an advanced beginner of Word. I don't know if that's what I've been, but will be able to feel more confident of my use of Word with your videos.

    easy peasy...I like it so much, finally I understand the use of the TABs

  • @jessmccullough
    @jessmccullough 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely want more of this training. PARAGRAPHS! And line spacing! Help! Also, the down and dirty on page breaks -- not just an overview, but demonstrate all the issues that one can have! Thanks so much! Hurry! LOL! I need it for work! LOL

  • @nabilalk
    @nabilalk 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I can't tell you how many times I have been frustrated with Word, trying to use spaces, tabs, and shift+enter commands to get things to line up. Thank you!

    This would be a really helpful series. Often times I forget about much of Word's formatting features when working with large documents. I would like to see more.

    @kenbaker9738 ปีที่แล้ว

    Mr. Hanselman-- Thank you for sharing your expertise so beautifully, easy to understand. Your teaching style should be the norm. I am a fan, a subscribed fan. You have helped me so much with just this one video. I am 72 and still trying to learn some basic technologies concepts. Your style is so great. Keep up the great work. I am needing this information so I can type up my words and ideas for a short stage play. So I am not only needing to learn: STANDARD STAGE PLAY FORMAT but also microsoft word typing tools. Yes there are 2 kinds of people. Those that get through this complex world with ease, (seemingly) and those that struggle every step of the way.

    This thing always drove me crazy at work. Glad that my resumes are sent PDF, otherwise I would be caught redhanded. Although this video shed some light through, I'm still confused. I guess I have to practice, practice and practice some more. Thank you.

    Hey this was pretty awesome. I'm an engineering who's been using word for years but am transitioning into project management where this stuff is critical. It was really great how you broke all of that down, somewhere in my educational history none of this was ever touched on. I'm assuming none of the people who taught me really KNEW word. keep doing these.

  • @ineedadip
    @ineedadip 9 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Great video, BUT. I would love a video like this one, but for Excel. I was querying the a database the other day and spit out some CSVs. We were trying to analyze the data in excel and really couldn't figure it out (not before giving up). I ended up going back to TSQL and spitting out the same data with different Group By's, and other aggregate functions in the select and so on. Select X, Sum(Y), Count(Z) Where something Group By X
    I know Excel is extremely powerful, but I've never ran across a video about it. How about doing a series like "Excel for programmers".

  • @lorrainepartridge1892
    @lorrainepartridge1892 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Another great video. Please, please do some more videos. I'd like to see a more in=depth one on tabs, this one was great. I'd also like to see one on tables, drawing tools, combine and compare docs. Thank you.

    Scott Hanselman is one of the best instructors on the net. His knowledge of the topic is so deep and his delivery so fluid that he is able to give us mere mortals the understanding we seek with no wasted time. His series is part of my reference library.

    Hi Scott, your videos change my using word enormously. unfortunately, I can see only few videos about the word tricks. Are you going to add more videos? I am struggling with positioning the images in my word document. Please continue this great work, you cannot imagine how these videos are really helpful.

    Not only was this thoroughly helpful, it was also hilarious every time you reacted to "the messes" when you turned paragraph marks on. I've been using Word for years and been guilty of all these mistakes. No longer. Please make more Word tutorials!

  • @huseyint

    @susanberg45 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank you for the info. I really need help with how to remove hard return paragraphs in documents (not a resume) because it messes up the format when I copy and paste directly into an email. Instead of using word wrap I did a hard return on 160 pages of a manuscript at the end of a line. When I copy and paste into an email (literary agents/publishers will NOT accept attachments) my manuscript single spaces large portions of my work instead of the original double spacing. Help! Thank you.

    It's funny... As a developer I seem to spend more of my time fighting Word and OneNote developing documentation than I do writing code. This was really useful.
    I'd very much enjoy you doing more of these to cover the other topics you specified at the end of the video.

    @ShermanJr1970 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    After watching your video on word tabs and indents I would like for you to keep making these videos. I have looked and paid for basics on how to do it the right way. Others have failed they go one way with a conversation then another, its like they don't have a good understanding of how to do it. Oh not to forget I agree with your video. Great Job. thanks!

  • @nancyr.3538
    @nancyr.3538 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great stuff. Thanks so much. I'm a decades-long WordPerfect user who is being forced to learn Word. Some of it is intuitive but a lot is not. One thing you didn't show -- how do I make a tab stop apply to my whole document? Or remove a tab from the entire document? Running down the margin to select all the lines is impossible.

The header will remain the same for each page of the report. The body of the document/report will include headings,
