Приєднався 25 січ 2015
My channel has easy-to-follow tutorial videos I create that demonstrate how to use Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel in various business situations. I also make videos that show how to do many different things in Canvas, if you use it to teach online classes. These videos are watched by various faculty, my online students, and many others who want to learn. I teach classes I teach for MiraCosta Community College which is based in Oceanside, California. Since 1995 I have been consistently teaching computer software courses for community colleges in Arizona and California. In addition, I also train and support other college faculty in how to teach well online.

How to Apply a Design Theme, Style Sets, and Styles in Word 365
Переглядів 1,8 тис.Рік тому
Here, I demonstrate the differences between a Theme, a Style Set, and individual Styles, and how to apply them to a document. It can be confusing. The clearest way I know of to explain it is that you start out with a document (like a business report) that you have finished typing up, but doesn't have any formatting yet. It might be easier to think of an analogy, like a brand new house. The Them...

How to Generate Lorem Ipsum in Word 365 without the Internet
Переглядів 166Рік тому
This is a really cool little trick that can come in handy for anyone needing to work with a Word document that has no meaning, just a whole lot of instant text. Sure, you can use the Lorem Ipsum generator online, and that works fine. But if you want a terrific shortcut, and I mean FAST, try this trick. You don't do any long typing, no copying and pasting, and no need to be online. As far as I k...

Переглядів 18 тис.Рік тому
I demonstrate how to insert a Content Control (such as a digital text box, or a drop-down menu) into a Word document, and how to customize the placeholder text that a user would see. Placeholder text generally instructs the user on what to do. An example might be "Click or tap here to type your name." This is for a Word document intended to be seen and interacted with online, such as having peo...

What if you want to have pictures and no text in these rectangles?
Easy. Just delete any text and paste your picture right into the rectangle.
I have added the Developer tab, but the check box is greyed out. A lot of people have the same issue but nobody posted a solution.
There are different things that can cause this to happen. You will have to try them to see which one works. Try these: 1) If your document was originally created in an older version of Word, and you are now using Word 365, it could be in Compatibility Mode. With the document open, click FILE --> SAVE AS and be sure to save it as the newest version of Word in the File Type near the bottom of the SAVE AS window. 2) Delete the cache files from the hard drive. (You can find UA-cam videos on how to do this). Cache files can sometimes cause such issues. 3) Make sure that the checkbox content control is set up properly. Do this by clicking on the checkbox content control feature, and selecting "Properties". In the dialog box that opens, click on the "Check Box" tab and make sure that the "Checked" and "Unchecked" values are set up. If none of the above solutions work, you might need to go to the Microsoft Community online and search for an answer there. Good luck!
Thank you, forgot how to add the hyperlink and now I do :)
And I was here 17hours later to remind myself how to insert hyperlink
Thanks very much!
super crystal clear! A+++++++++++++++
👍🏻😊
Thanks I also get to learn from here as a small UA-camr who is still growing to monetization. Thanks 🙏
THANK YOUUUUUU
Thank you for doing this. I have a major Handbooks that I am working on for a company and this is beautiful help. However, I have one question, Once I finish my WORD document, can I convert to a PDF and email it? Will the links still work. Thanks Again.
Yes, you should be able to do a "save as" and change the file type to a PDF. That being done, the PDF version of the doc should have the same clickable working links that the origiWird doc has.
Sorry... "original Word". Silly automated spelling corrections.
@@DebraSaybleTutorials Good Morning, Thank you for the prompt reply. Yes it did work. Thanks Again Ed
Why the hell u talking like u doing ASMR
UNFORTUNATELY, MY WORD DOCS WONT INSERT.
Thank you.
Thank you. If you select plain text you can use the tab button to go to the next fillable field. But if you use the Rich Text you can not tab to the next field. Is there a way to use the Rich text, so the person filling out the form can change color or manipulate the text, and still maintain the tab to the next fillable field? Does this make sense? Thanks!
Thank you
Thanks
Thank you!!!!
You are an incredible teacher.
Can you help me? I need to add a CONTROL CONSOLE inside a TEX BOX
If you mean you want to place a Content Control inside of a text box, then yes, you can do it easily. Just create a text box. Click inside it, and be sure to press the Spacebar at least once or twice. Then use your Left Arrow key on the keyboard to move the flashing cursor back over to the farthest left-hand space. Then insert whatever Content Control you want, such as a drop-down list, combo-box list, checkbox, or rich text entry box. Then, if you intend to include any regular text, use the Right Arrow key on the keyboard to move the flashing cursor to the right of the Content Control item you inserted. Then start typing.
Thank you very much! Very helpful 😊
ur a god i luv u, i went on 20 vids that made this shit so complicated and you made it so simple with two clicks, kisses from me
your cursor is kind on the way...makes it hard to follow and very distractive
Thank you for this how-to video. You have answered my main question. A follow-up question would then be how do I save this object as a building-block (field or AutoText)? But finding the answer to that question should be easier as this is my first impression of your content. I have subscribed, by the way, and will browse more of your content to learn new tricks.
Thank you!
thanks, you are so sigma skibidi level 500 gyatt

Very clearly explained. Thank you
Very clear explanation, thank you!
Thank you so much, I have been going over 100 video looking for this simple explanation that does not use fancy language and it is so simple to follow and apply. Thank you , you saved my forms and templates.
Great video, thank you so much
saved me thanks
Thank you it is great
Not working. Instead, it's locked to my file on the PC.
Thanks 👍
You can’t instruct no better than that! That made it exciting to insert a hyperlink! Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad I could help.
I've watched this 10 times and followed directions to a T - and the text will not turn or stay gray? Is there a setting somewhere keeping it from going gray?
Hmm. There might be a couple of reasons why yours doesn't turn gray. Are you using the full version of Microsoft Word 365 or 2019 for PC's? Because if you are using any other version that might be the trouble. A "wrong" version might be if you're using Word for a Mac computer. Or another "wrong" one could be the free version of Office or Word online. Those software versions might not work the same as Word 365 or 2019 for PC's. Another possibility is that someone altered one or more Word settings on your computer. You can resolve that by entering the Background and exploring things there (click File and in the very bottom left corner click Options).
I simply type, using the video's example, the letter "F" before the period. Then, I delete/backspace everything before the "F" and then proceed to type "First Name." It works for me, hopefully it does for you too. 🙂
What are variants?
Alternatives. One theme can have many variants (many different versions, with each version having some kind of difference in colors from the original theme).
Thank so much, nicely explained and
You are very welcome!😊
In the xml, the placeholder text is truncated with the first white space, any tips?
I'm sorry, I know next to nothing about xml stuff.
Thanks! And if you want to do the reverse move (from the book mark to the place where the link is, as it is usual in pdf files)=
Funny how they put Macros under the view tab. I feel that macros should have their own separate tab.
Worthy to watch! Thank you so much!
Super. Mam
Thank you so much. So well explained
what's the name of magnification tool located on you cursor?

Thank you for a very clear, friendly, well-paced and informative video!

Thank you so much! Very useful and clear🌟
I had the same issues, my local MS Word 365 kept loading files as compatability mode and I needed to convert. I am not sure why I deeded to convert as I was saving them as .docx. Went into Trust Centre enabled all macros and Active X, still cluld not insert a check box even after I shut dowmn and rebooted the machine. I went to the online verions,. and again no menu for the developer tab, ...then a second thought, I created a blank document from Word Online 365, saved it to my desktop and then used my desktop version to load the same blank word doc, and now the checkbox options work....wow..three hours later and ten videos ...what is the big deal about developer tab, why does Microsoft have to make it a big deal, just have the MS Word package fully optimised out of the box...I hope this helps cheers
