Thanks! This video helped me align 3 columns exactly the way I wanted them to look, but could not figure out using a random search for written instructions and another UA-cam video. Very helpful!
Thank you for a clear, concise video! I've been trying to explain tabs to my coworkers for years. Hopefully this will do the trick!
Glad it was helpful!
I've been doing contents pages by hand. This will make life much easier. Thank you.
Very helpful. Brief but covers lots of good info.
I needed this video, thank you!
I like this better than the emails. I will watch a short video more than read the emails. One suggestion ...you can color and/or enlarge the pointer, which will make it easier to follow.
Thanks for the suggestion, K.
Dear Mr.WordTips please provide any solution or suggestion on an issue am faced with in my word 2016 the text i'll sample stand like this.
Employee X
Work Place Y
Tasks Z
This text is only portion of the complete text that i must add went in the middle of the page on it own ( because every other part that need to be aligned to the left of the page is normally aligned but this one is not and i need it to be on the left so that X,Y and Z can nicely have their bulletins and descriptions? Thank you very much for your kind and unselfish help on this matter at hand,wish you all the best ,warmest regards !
👌👌
I don’t understand what a leader is. I will look to see if you addressed it in another video.
it would be better if an actual document was used to see the text overall more for 'Visual' learners
