No extra talking and lengthy explanation or redundancy. That is what people search for in youtube. It is really easy to understand and quick to find what you are looking for. very helpful. thanks a lot
I've been using Microsoft Word since it was created. I have to say that every place I work, no one knows Word as well as I do. Back in the day, I used to call up Microsoft and ask to speak with someone with regard to quirks or processes that weren't working right. This is back in the day when people ACTUALLY answered the phone - LOL! My favorite is Excel though...I could do spreadsheets all day long. I'm learning Power BI, which seems to be Pivot Tables on steroids. I really like your videos - very informative!
Thank you. I have been using Word since 1996 and learned most of it on my own. Have not taken a Word class in decades. Love the simplicity of this tutorial. I will definitely look for more of your tutorial videos.
The other thing I think is really important about using headings is if you create a PDF from your word file, it will create a hyperlinked table of contents AND you can have it auto-bookmark the PDF using the headings (even multiple heading levels). When creating large complicated documents (i.e. in a business environment) it can be VERY helpful to have a hyperlinked and bookmarked PDF.
I love this video. I work in a proposal department creating templates and we work with styles all of the time. Tip... never base your styles on "Normal" base them on "no style" you'll thank me later.
Fantastic. Great explanation. Would like to be able to figure out how to apply the style from one template to another document if you have time to create a tutorial on that 🙂
Hi, Kevin... just stumbled upon your videos and subscribed to your channel. As an Instructional Designer and Technical Writer, I've spent A LOT of time during my career teaching my team these types of tips and tricks. Great to see someone take the time and publish a channel here on UA-cam that the masses can use as a reference. Keep up the good work! Todd
Great video But how to I set a style I’ve created as a template so next time I open a blank document it has the styles I want, so I don’t have to copy/clone a previous documen?
2:20 Pardon me if I am asking about really basic skills. How do you highlight mulitiple places? To highlight, isn't it click and drag? and isn't it done only one place at a time? I don't seem to have seen highlighting multiple places like you do here before. Oh I did search right after posting that question. The search question autocompleted, and the answer was, hold Ctrl key! I
Thank you for the clear and straightforward explanation. Nonetheless, I occasionally encounter challenges when trying to standardize the font and spacing of the table of contents. Can you provide guidance on resolving this issue?
Superb Kevin, you are indeed showing us all features of MS Word. We did not know these beautiful features. Now we will use them to make our documents eye catching.
Hi Kevin I really liked your video on styles and wondered if you could help with the following question...Can you create a cover page style in word followed by an intro page style and followed by a page style that continuously runs on? I can create a cover and the 2 page style but can't get the 3rd page to be the one that is continuous?
Hi Kevin! I loved your create a form video!!! And I am attempting to make it more accessible - bigger font so it is legible to more people. I created my drop down box - updated the style, changed the font, font size... but when I go to say okay it only changes the color around the drop down box. Argh! Can you pls help me?
Another huge benefit of using styles is that it makes the document more ADA accessible, in case someone were to use a screen reader to read the document.
It would be a life changer if you are doing a large project and now making a list of contents because now word would automatically make it with page numbers.
I have just found your channel and I’m loving your contents. Can you maybe make a video on a way catalog inventory with pictures of item on Microsoft office?
great vid! finally i know what styles are for. i'm wondering if you'd consider making a video on just understanding the basic ethos of ms word. i primarily work with text editors and jumping into word, i mean yeah, i can make a document but everything seems to fight me - everything seems way more cumbersome than i feel it needs to be to just start typing and i feel like i'm doing something wrong or not understanding a key part of how i'm supposed to use word. i mean is it primarily for formatting or what? is it not to be used to just GENERATE writing like for a manuscript or novel or short story or something? any kind of vid to help me understand this would be awesome. thanks!
Good tutorial, but I'd like to say that these features are really valuable if you have big documents like a thesis - it doesn't really show for a two-page document like the one in the video.
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?
How can I have style for pictures? I want to define a specific style for the picture and apply that for future images. For example, using the same size for future images via dragging to word.
Kevin....somehow, I have a paragraph showing in my table of Contents. It got labeled as a Heading 1. Highlighting that paragraph and selecting Normal isn't changing it. What is your suggestion?
Hi Kevin, is there any way I can have styles for image sizes? I do documents where I have many photos that I need to insert that has the same size and the same paragraph spacing
What if my document was actually just fine and then I started trying to make it look cool by applying styles and headers etc... And now I want it to go back to before I ever used styles. How can I go back to "no styles" applied? Just want to go back to the word doc the way I had formatted and stylized my document before? Command Z will not take me back there... Is there a way to go back to the default style I had before? If I click undo formatting it even takes my bolds and bigger sized fonts out that I had before...???
Can we use Styles to make tabel of contents if the job (document making) already finished? or we must use Styles from the beginning of the job? Need this esp. for making the table of contents, but the document already in progress or finished.. Thanks.
You can use it even if you have a document already created. Just use the styles in your document. If you use the built in "Heading 1" style, i'd suggest not baseing it on "normal."
Kevin, Is there a way to modify a Style in Word to have two lines with different fonts, sizes, and features? Like: Chapter number in ariel, regular, 12 pt on one line, and Chapter title in Times New Roman, bold, 16 pt on the next line as Heading One.
Hi Kevin, Thank you for this, it is fantastic. Please could you assist me, I have to append a contract to a document. I need the headings in the contract to be independent of the main document, is this possible? So basically the Headings in the contract have to restart from Heading 1. I hope this makes sense😀
every time you are saying that you are using latest version of microsoft . suppose if we use an older version like windows 10 or 11 can't we do the things you are talking about? pl. tell.
How are you highlighting multiple headers? Every time I try to highlight the next one the previous one becomes Un selected. Holding command or control doesn’t work. I’m on a Mac.
Hi Ken, great presentation. I have compiled a document that consists of 22 pages, no styles used. There are approximately 39 headings ( text that has been made bold). Is there a way of automatically selecting theses without manually going to each one and making them a heading 1?
Your presentation was flawless. In less than 10 minutes
I learned so much. Thank you.

Sir I'm Ahmed Shazad
Kevin, sorry, forgot to thank you for the lovely tutorials you are posting.
Great lesson. So much easier to understand than the program I'm learning from right now.
Hi, you are explaining the Word tutorial very nice, and many thanks.
Your instructional videos are always very helpful. Thanks for doing these.
Thank you for solving the mystery of styles! Most appreciated!
I so needed this a month ago. Now that I understand the use of Styles, I will be able to update all our reference documents. Thank you Kevin.
Fantastic. Great explanation. Would like to be able to figure out how to apply the style from one template to another document if you have time to create a tutorial on that 🙂
I learned about the smart Table of Contents button today. Cool deal! Thanks.
First of your videos where I knew the information. Makes me feel good.
Oh my word! WHAT? This is F A N T A S T I C!!!!
Thanks! I could hear you clearly and follow your instructions!
Great stuff Kevin. I would love to see a video on "Defining New Styles" and "Multi-level Lists"!
Awesome! Thanks a millions for your amazing tutorials.
Short cut and to the point. Thumbs up👍👍👍👍
New follower. Just watched two videos, love it. Thanks for the content man.

Is video clearly demonstrates why lists should be made in Excel 😆
Great tutorial, I'd love to see you cover numbering, specifically adding multi-level numbering to styles.
Thank you, this will make writing my dissertation much easier!!
Thank you for the information, Kevin. Great job explaining. Craig
Good work Kevin. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Mr. Stratvert. Clear explanations and nice delivery style (pun intended).
Imagine waking up to that voice every morning. 🥴🥴🥴😍
Wtf!??
Are you okay?
Great video! The other thing that is helpful, you can drag your headings in the navigation view to rearrange your document.
Really appreciate this content especially during this time.
Thanks for the note Joyce!
maybe you've already done it, but can you add on to this by showing how styles and table of contents work with the outline view?
Awesome! But how did you select multiple headers at one go?
Hold down the CTRL key while selecting different sections of text.
Hey could you please tell me how you selected all the headings together? Is there any shortcuts for that?
Thank you for the clear and straightforward explanation. Nonetheless, I occasionally encounter challenges when trying to standardize the font and spacing of the table of contents. Can you provide guidance on resolving this issue?
USEFUL explanation ✊👌
Hi Kevin, Do you have shortcuts to increse or decrease the font size?
Superb Kevin, you are indeed showing us all features of MS Word. We did not know these beautiful features. Now we will use them to make our documents eye catching.

Great clip! How do style lists?
Another huge benefit of using styles is that it makes the document more ADA accessible, in case someone were to use a screen reader to read the document.
An absolutely invaluable tutorial. It has helped me greatly. Thank you so much.
Good video. Thanks for posting this helpful info.
very nice explanation love from india
Thanks for the tips. I have always ignored that whole Style section, not really knowing what the point was. Now I think I will try it out.
It would be a life changer if you are doing a large project and now making a list of contents because now word would automatically make it with page numbers.
Awesome tutorial. Thank you. Word is so versatile!
I have just found your channel and I’m loving your contents. Can you maybe make a video on a way catalog inventory with pictures of item on Microsoft office?
Is there a way to make to columns on each page to have the Clothing List next to the Bath List?
mn i really love your videos it is really helpful indeed
Very smooth presentation - good to refresh this feature - make work more productive. Thank you Kevin.
was it possible to use the find function to find those headers?
Fantastic! Thanks Kevin!
great vid! finally i know what styles are for.

Amazing! Thanks for this!
hey, do you know how to save customized styles so when you open a new document, it is already saved? thanks
I am also looking for this answer!
Is there a way to set the default page color for all new documents?
Good tutorial, but I'd like to say that these features are really valuable if you have big documents like a thesis - it doesn't really show for a two-page document like the one in the video.
Cool tips!
Bravo! Thank you Kevin, I was scare to use those features in some documents I translate. Do you have any video on how to use Publisher?
Not yet, but I'll add Publisher to my list of videos to create. Stay tuned!
@@KevinStratvert finding you channel was a blessing tbh

Very informative - thank you!
thank u ... it is truly helpful
Can you do an updated video on word for beginners and excel for beginners?
Is there a way to create new presets for drop shadow in Word?
Can we use Styles to make tabel of contents if the job (document making) already finished? or we must use Styles from the beginning of the job? Need this esp. for making the table of contents, but the document already in progress or finished.. Thanks.
You can use it even if you have a document already created. Just use the styles in your document. If you use the built in "Heading 1" style, i'd suggest not baseing it on "normal."
Thank you for the thorough review of Styles in MSWord, Kevin. Really helped me on my assignment.
Does the styles you made stay if you open a new document?
Kevin, Is there a way to modify a Style in Word to have two lines with different fonts, sizes, and features? Like:
Chapter number in ariel, regular, 12 pt on one line, and Chapter title in Times New Roman, bold, 16 pt on the next line as Heading One.
The only new thing I learned from this video is format painter. Thx
How can I make a style default to all future documents? I've tried all the other videos and saved for all new but does not work.
great!
thanks for the awesome video
Hi Kevin, Thank you for this, it is fantastic. Please could you assist me, I have to append a contract to a document. I need the headings in the contract to be independent of the main document, is this possible? So basically the Headings in the contract have to restart from Heading 1. I hope this makes sense😀
Hello Kevin, do you know how to keep new styles when i open other new documento on word?
So simple, and so useful
what about Styles for formatting a written book with chapters, paragraphs, Contents etc?
I❤your tutorials
Did you have tutorial on reference tab.
Other things on side... You look really osm....
I live on You Tube , but you are the best!

When I open Word 365, I don't even SEE the Styles pane like yours is showing. How do I bring it up? Thanks
Hi Ken, great presentation. I have compiled a document that consists of 22 pages, no styles used.
There are approximately 39 headings ( text that has been made bold). Is there a way of automatically selecting theses without manually going to each one and making them a heading 1?
I have the same question. I have a book that's 202 pages. Now in final edit. How can I apply Styles to the entire document?
