Hi Erin - thank you so much for this. I have been using restrict editing setting to lock corporate headers and footers as well as text within a document and allowing only selected fields for users to fill in. But have had issues with users changing the page layout which causes issues with formatting and pagination of the final document. I know the usual advice given is to set the document as a pdf to prevent changes. That is not really an option these days as there are programmes out there that can convert pdf to MsWord at a click and I do not wish to make it easy for others to plagiarize my work. So, grateful thanks indeed for this very helpful and useful tip which locks the document to allow only changes where permitted and most importantly other users are unable to just copy and paste or save as a new document to take away the restrictions. Tq.

Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience! I am planning to do an update to this tutorial early next year showing how to restrict editing on an even more granular level, so be on the lookout. :)

A useful tutorial. However, I thought it would explain how to get around Word preventing me from changing styles. My doc is not protected and the "Restrict Permission" is set to Unrestricted Access. I use various styles in the document. Several blocks of text have "K Poem " style set and won't let me change to "K Ordinary" style - both "Poem " and "K Ordinary" styles are defined for this doc. Any ideas, please?

Thank you very much for this. I think most corporations with more people using word, would like to use a common design of their word documents, so they get the same professional look. Most students or self learned people of word would not automatically understand that, because they are used to change everything as they please. So I should like some video explaining the corporation view about this, and how it can be good for corporations to work with word and get a common design for their employees.

I want to prevent my styles from being changed, but at the same time want my coworkers to be able to apply my styles without editing them. I just want to restrict styles from being changed not the whole document. Could this be possible? Thank you, Erin. A hug from Puerto Rico.

Great question! One option is to restrict style changes (Review Tab > Restrict Editing) and then save the file as a template you can share with your coworkers. I have a separate tutorial about templates that you may find helpful: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLp8hsSqntPNpYU.html.

How do I prevent from automatic capitals at the start of each line when I am writing poetry?
@erinwrightwriting Жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching! To prevent automatic capitalization, select File > Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options > deselect "Capitalize first letter of sentences" > OK. I hope that helps!

Hi, how can I set up a formatting and style for different part of the word document (for example heading, bold times new roman 28, body text calibry 10, footnote calibry 8, table justied calibry 8 etc) in away when you paste sentences with different font, size, etc, it automatically changes to the default style set for that part of the document and one doesn't have to change it manually?
@erinwrightwriting2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching! That is an interesting question. I'm not aware of a way to apply all styles based solely on the paste function. However, one thing you can do immediately after pasting is select "Merge Formatting" from the Paste Option button that appears right after pasting. You can see an example in my tutorial on cutting, copying, and pasting: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iL6SZbNzspnUpmg.html.

@@erinwrightwriting thanks for reading and answering the questions. I am working on many reports, which have the same template. My specific question is how to style different part of a template report document permanently, so that If I or someone writes or paste different font or size or colour, it automatically changes to original or default style?

@@waheedsaifi1668 Another great question! I have an upcoming tutorial on templates. In the meantime, here is the support article from Microsoft showing how to save a regular file as a template: support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-template-86a1d089-5ae2-4d53-9042-1191bce57deb. When you save the template as a new file, the newly entered text should adopt the template's formatting, as you describe.

I have a MS word document template, in which, I am filling data via C# code. This document has tables in orange color. On generating the actual document by running the code, the table color is changing to Green. I tried steps in the video, it did not work. Could you provide more help ?
@erinwrightwriting4 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching my video. I don't use C#, so I'm afraid I can't offer any specific help. You may want to search through the archives of the Office Watch blog (office-watch.com/) because they seem to have a lot of in-depth articles about tables in Word and Excel. Best of luck!

I need help! Can someone please help me ? When I share my assignments with my teacher then the whole presentation becomes a mess such as the columns of pages break and shapes move on another pages from original position but remain same in my pc . It only happens after sharing word documents. I'm using word 2019. If anyone knows the solution please help me .

Thank you for watching my video. It sounds like the problem may be on your teacher's computer rather than yours. If possible, you may want to try sending your assignment saved as "Read Only" if your teacher isn't going to use Track Changes to mark your work. Best of luck.

Hello, thank you for watching my video. I'm not a Mac user, so I'm afraid I can't answer your question. However, there are many knowledgeable creators here on KZfaq who focus exclusively on Word for Mac, so you might want to do a search to see if anyone has covered this topic. Best of luck!
