Introduction1:48
Font and Spacing12:35
It may seem basic, but many of us do not realize the different options Word has available to us in the lane of fonts, line spacing, and paragraphs. Have you ever wanted to set your document up for single spacing but it never gets to the exact spacing you're looking for? Did you know there are more options under the "paragraph" menu that allow you to get full control over the spaces Word is giving you? What about making a table, or adding bullets, or creating an outline? I'll show you all of this and more in "Font and Spacing"!
Copy, Cut, and Paste7:01
Most people understand how to copy and paste...but some don't understand how to cut and paste, or how to cut or copy and paste using just 2 keys on your keyboard to make it nice and quick. When you paste your text, what is that little icon that shows up under your courser? Did you know it could come in handy? How about the "undo" feature, and the 2 keys you can press for that? In Word you can do everything quickly by the push of a button, and as soon as you learn how, you will be knocking out your document projects MUCH faster, and it will be SO much less of a task, but instead it will be fun.
Find and Replace Options8:01
Have you ever needed to change a word that you used 15 different times throughout your document? Did you know you don't have to scroll through and scan the screen with your eyes trying to find every spot that you typed the wrong word? You can tell Microsoft to find the word and you can even tell it what to do once it's found. If I typed "blue" a hundred times in my document, but realized it's actually supposed to be "teal"....NO problem. I'll press 2 keys, pull up the "find and replace" menu, and tell it to find blue and change it to teal throughout the entire doc...done in 1 second.
Menus and Tips15:32
Lets take a look through all of the menus on the top of the screen so we can understand every common use up there. No need to be unfamiliar with things, it's much better to have good knowledge and then you can use every tool provided for you so you can make the most professional product possible. After that we'll talk through some tricks that come in handy for those of you who use Word very often and could use some additional shortcuts to wiz right through your processes.
