Microsoft Word Tutorials
Within all my tutorials I aim to help you develop your skills working within Word, Excel and Powerpoint as well as further your knowledge about the tools which are available within the Microsoft Office Software.
Throughout this channel I aim to cover simple subjects such as page numbers, margins, headers and footers, image, pictures and fonts as well as more advanced themes such as tables, mail merge, table of contents and electronic signatures.
Sharing tips and tricks which I discover along my journey is also an important aspect of this channel. I love the idea of giving people the solution to a problem they’ve been struggling with in Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint.
The channel began all because of a problem I had when I had to insert images into a Word Document. I couldn’t find a way to drag and drop multiple images into a table without them expanding across the page, being cropped or interfering with the rest of the text. It wasn’t until I finally sat down one day, determined to find the solution and developed a way to solve the problem. Having found the problem quite difficult to solve without knowing how to do it I decided to make a You Tube video about it. Never once believing that many people would watch it, let alone be so grateful.
After discovering how helpful a simple tutorial could be I decided to make further videos with the aim of once again helping as many people as possible.
DOCUMENT EXAMPLES
Marketing literature, dissertation, thesis, college paper, reports, assignments, essays, articles, letters, invoices, presentations, school work, posters, flyers, cards, greeting cards, artwork, invitations, certificates, legal papers, etc.

This is the most helpful video I’ve watched! You showed every step. I spent hours at work trying to create a form similar to this and I was drawing my own tables and had formatting issues up the wazoo. And I’d never even thought of using text boxes to move stuff around! I’d always tried just using tabs and lining stuff up. God bless you for sharing your knowledge with people for free. This video was exactly what I needed!!!

Thank you for the video. This is very complicated and requires a lot of time. Try using Content Control (under the Developer tab - you'll have to turn it ON first) to create Yes/No and fillable boxes in seconds. But above all, you will be able to lock all the other text on the page and only allow a person to fill in where you want their input.

This comment is FANTASTIC. thank you!
Hi, I would have used CTRL +D to duplicate the tick boxes, rather than CTrL +C, then CTRL +V. Find it quicker. I thought this was going to be on how to create a form in which the curser automatically goes to the next text entry field, but found it more about an indepth tables exercise. Well described though!
Felt like a pro working in an office after i learnt serveral things from this video💅🏾🖋Thank u Lisa👍🏻

This is generally excellent, thanks very much. A practical example, with great detail. Only minor criticism I'd make is that there is some duplication in the latter stages, making an already long video a little too long. I am starting a new job soon, in which I will be creating forms, I'll be copying the ideas here and using tables and text boxes.
Appreciate your training. Solved many unanswered questions I never seem to have the time to figure out as a part-timer. Would appreciate development and design for self-study lesson training e-docs, mentor eguide, and learning ejournal.
Very helpful, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you......!

I used the development tab to insert usable check boxes. And if you want to protect your form but allow some fields to be changed, I could do that with the dev tab too.

I learned a lot from watching this video. Thank you so much. I do have a question. Is there any way of creating fillable forms where after creating the document, it won't shift or move the document down...like filling in a PDF Form? I've tried using the Developer and restrict editing, but the form still moves. I'm trying to create these forms without converting it into a PDF Form.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you very much!

Hi Lisa, thank you very much for the video! I have a question regarding the Word programmer in the Text Type form field, it is possible to modify and increase the number of characters in "Expression", when the type is selected in "Calculation". I need to execute an expression with more characters than is allowed. Thank you!
Excellent video. Did I miss the part of how to lock the form and only be able to write on the specified boxes?

Lisa thank you so very much! A question that I have scoured the comments for in this and others of your videos, is how to save the document with fillable fields in a way that a person can fill in the fields, but not be free to move other elements of the document. Perhaps I missed it? In another video you speak of using the "Developer" to lock in place, but that seemed to lock even the fields. I'd appreciate your help. Thanks.

I never recommend to reduce the left margin too much, since people may want to print the form later on and punch it for filing. I always prefer to leave a margin of 0.8" for that purpose
Wow, what a great job. Looks so professional. Definitely going to use this technique.

Nice video. Couple questions. Which do you prefer for custom formatting, tables or text boxes? Also, for the checkboxes in the form, how do you limit what types of values to display there, e.g. Checkmark symbol or blank only??
