We’ll see how easy it is to change the Orientation of the page from Portrait to Landscape – and back again.

This video shows you how to create Page Breaks where you want to place them. Then we look at how to delete Page Breaks, that you no longer need.

We’ll use the Numbering button to quickly and easily create or remove a Numbered List, but we’ll also look at when you should apply them.

We’ll use the Bullets button to quickly and easily create or remove a Bulleted List, but we’ll also look at when you should apply them.

We’ll see where the default Line Spacing is displayed, and what it is. Then we’ll look at a quicker way of changing the Line Spacing – and setting it back to the default.

We’ll take a look at the buttons used for Indenting and ‘Outdenting’ our text. However, they only affect the left-hand side of the text, so we’ll also look at how you set Indents on the right-hand side of a paragraph.

This video brings you through the four Paragraph Alignment buttons and how to use them.

In previous videos I’ve mentioned that to modify a Quick Part, you just recreate it and save it over the previous one, with the same name. This video just demonstrates that for you.

Now you know how to create a Quick Part, but where do you go to delete a Quick Part? This video shows you exactly that.

If you want to create your own Building Block, then you create it as a Quick Part. This video shows you how this excellent feature works.

Understand what Building Blocks are and look at a small selection of them and see how to apply them.

Older Word documents will open automatically into ‘Compatibility Mode’. This means some features that you might like to use, will not be available. See how to recognise when you’re in this mode, and how to convert to the latest version.

Another lovely feature that you really must know, is the Format Painter. Features like this, save hours of work!

There are a number of Styles that are available to use, the most common being the Heading 1 style and the Heading 2 style. We’ll take a quick look at these and see that once we use them, more Styles become available.

We’ll look at changing the Font type and size using different methods. We’ll also change the Font colour and see that we have a Live Preview to help us make a choice.

Click and drag is not the only way to select text. In fact, there are many other ways, and generally, they would be more efficient than click and drag. We’ll look at some of those ways, in this video.

We’ll take a look at using the Help feature and also see the different options that are provided, within that window.

Before printing a document you should always look into Print Preview to get an overall view of it. We’ll also take a look at some of the options contained in the Preview area.

We’re going to open up the document we created in the previous video, make a small change, then Save that change.

We’ll create a Blank document, quickly fill in some text, then Save and Close that document.

I like to work with the Rulers turned on permanently, so this video shows you how to turn them on. The default measurement of Rulers is to be in centimetres but you might prefer to use inches, so we’ll also see how to make that change.

Learn how to create your own Ribbon tab, add commands to it, remove commands from it and then finally, how to delete your tab.

See how to add the commands you use the most, to the Quick Access Toolbar, how to remove commands and how to adjust their position. Once you have done this, you can close the document without saving and those commands will still be there next time you open Word.

This video will help you to become familiar with some of the different components that make up the Word interface.
