Don't Miss the Archives

This past week I released the WordTips Ribbon 2025 archive. Be sure to check it out, as it contains every single tip published during the last year--hundreds of pages of information! This is all packaged in a handy archive you can search, sort, print, and slice or dice any way you want.

The WordTips Ribbon 2025 archive contains more information than I can list here, but it is worthy of your consideration. It contains tips specifically related to Word 2007 through Word 365. (If you are only using Word 2003 or an older version, then this archive won't be a good fit for you.)

I should also mention that in celebration of the release of this year's archive, you can get any of the available WordTips archives--from 2021 through 2025--for 30% off the regular price! This means you can get a download of the full year for only $17.49! This is a limited-time offer (good only through January 21), so you should check it out very soon. You can get the full details here:

WordTips YouTube Channel

Do you like to learn visually? Make sure you check out the WordTips YouTube channel. New videos are added weekly. (I typically try to add them on Tuesdays and Thursdays.)

New video: Moving an Entire Page
If you are new to using Word, you may wonder if there is an easy way to move pages around in the document. Word, though, doesn't really work with pages as you might think of them. This Quick Tip explains how to do the moving you want using the tools Word has available.

New video: Turning Off Automatic Help
Word has a lot of tools that are invoked automatically based on what you are doing in the program. If these tools interfere with how you want to use the program, you'll want to become familiar with the Word Options dialog box.

Special Note!

I've been publishing WordTips for years. Decades, actually. The newsletter you are reading right now is for very old versions of Word. I still publish it because I know that some people are still using very old versions of Word. Most people, however, are using newer versions of the program. If you are are using a newer version of Word (2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021, or the version in Microsoft 365), then you should seriously consider changing to the version of the newsletter designed for you. You can do so by clicking this link.

Thanks for your support of WordTips, and I hope you enjoy whichever version of the newsletter you receive. If you have any questions, just let me know.
