Thank you so much for the sections information and for how to differentiate between sections on the footer. I am sure the header is similar. Very clear and concise. Easy to follow which is nice for an old knucklehead like me.

Hello mam im starting from basics 🥰

@jamaljamal6169 Жыл бұрын

Hello, need help. I have a 25-page document. Every page is formatted exactly alike. Let's say the blank top space is set at Times = 8 font. The 1st sentence is indented at 17 space bar clicks to the right. I want to change the top blank space to Times = 3 font (pulling up the document) and the 1st sentence line to 22 space bar clicks (pushing the document over more to the right). Is there a way to make this change on all 25 pages at 1 time versus doing each and every page manually? This 1 document has 25 pages but I have 30 separate documents/files with 25 pages in each document which is going to be a pain if there is no shortcut.

Thank you. Simple question: how can I eliminate the soft return in the normal template to all HARD returns? Thank you in advance

@thesoftwarepro Жыл бұрын

There isn't a special character in Word that designates a soft return. These breaks happen automatically based on the page layout, formatting, and document content. This video on finding and replacing special characters may be helpful: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJZ4qcp8qdHeZ30.html

Hi Madam, I am frustrated as I don't find as to how to change font style and size of file "normal.dotm" i.e. used for autotext / quickparts. Shall be grateful if you could let me know the procedure of changing font size of the said file. Thanks

@thesoftwarepro Ай бұрын

Check out my video on how to change the default font and document formatting. This should get you started on updating the Normal template to use your font preferences kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fpyCks-LydHMf2g.html

Cannot believe you are promoting manual font and paragraph formatting as a 'Time Saving' tool. In my opinion this is just displaying how to 'use' Word and not how to 'Utilise' it.

@thesoftwarepro 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your feedback. Word includes many other more time-saving tools. One of the challenges I've seen in working with more than 100,000 people is that some Word users get frustrated formatting text as they don't understand why a new paragraph is formatted differently. Or, they want distinct formatting for a portion of a document and don't know about working with section formatting.

@@thesoftwarepro it made all the difference. It really made some click in my mind on a way it never happened before. Thank you very much.

Your content is excellent but it is a little too basic and over explained. I hope you don't mind my honest critique there ... you obviously know this subject very well but perhaps it's not necessary to wrap so much comment around it.

@thesoftwarepro Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comments. Although this is one of my more popular videos, I can see where I could have gotten to the point more quickly.
