Hello, dear readers. Previously, you and I studied, where I briefly touched on templates. Today we will look at what Word templates are, how to use them, create them, save them, and change them. The article will be useful for those who often work with the same type (template) documents. You can design the content once, and then only apply this design to each new file.

Simply put, a template is an already designed (partially or completely) document into which you just need to enter your data. The template includes formatting (including styles), text, Word objects (images, charts, diagrams, etc.), standard blocks, as well as custom tabs, commands and macros.

Microsoft offers us a large selection of ready-made templates on various topics. Most of them are available for download on the developer's resources.

How to create Word document based on template

To create a new document based on a template, launch Word or press Ctrl+N in running program. A window for creating a new document will open. A list of recommended and personal templates with thumbnails will appear in its main part. Select the one you need and click on it and click “Create”. If the template is not on your computer, it will be pre-downloaded.

If the template you need is not in the list, try to find it. At the top of the window there is a search field in which you need to enter a short query on the topic and press Enter. For example, let’s enter “Portfolio” and see what happens.

If a suitable template is found, click on it and click “Create”. Once downloaded, the template will be attached to the new document. Then it’s up to you, fill it with content.

If you already have a ready-made template, double-click on it in Windows Explorer. The program will create a new document based on it. Ready-made templates can be located anywhere on your computer; you decide where to save them. By default they can be saved to the folder Computer - Documents - Custom Office Templates.

How to attach a template to a document

Often, organizations provide various corporate forms, designed in a certain color scheme using different styles. If you need to create such a form from scratch, use the method described above. If the document has already been created and you need to redefine its template with styles, you can do this like this:

Execute on Ribbon Developer – Templates – Document Template. The template settings window will open. If you don't have a Developer tab on your ribbon, read on to add a tab to your ribbon;

In the window, click Document Template – Attach;
In the Explorer window, find the template you need, double-click on it and click OK.

The template will be applied to the document, changing the appearance of words and sentences that have been defined with styles and colors from the theme.

How to Create Your Own Word Template

No matter how good the templates from Microsoft are, one day you will need to create your own template in Word. You will use a design that is convenient for you and your readers. This great way create your own “image” of a document or the same corporate document with a single color scheme, font, etc.

Creating your own template is very simple. To do this, format it manually. Set fonts, colors, shapes. When the entire layout is ready, save the document as a template. For example, do File - Save As. Select the location where your template will be stored, and in the Explorer window, set the file type to “Word Template.” If you use macros or VBA – “Word template with macro support”.

Now create new files based on this template. When saving, the program will not change the template file, but will offer to create a new one Text Document Word based on the same template, but with new data.

To change a template, open it as a regular document, change the design and save again as a template (with the same name or a new one).

Of course, you don’t have to bother with the template, but simply replace the contents of the designed file, and then save it under a new name. Sounds much easier than creating a template. But imagine if you clicked “Save” instead of “Save As” the first time you wrote a new document. Instead of creating a new file, the program will save the changes to the old one. Old file will be replaced with a new one and cannot be returned. So, templates are definitely irreplaceable.

Perhaps the average person will find the templates too complex and useless. But if you must adhere to a corporate identity, approved colors and fonts, you cannot do without templates. The same applies to professional users of Microsoft Word, for whom working with the program takes up the lion's share of their working day. When you can save time on design, why not do it? I do it and recommend it to you - use the templates!

In the next article, we'll look at text styles and how they do the difficult and sometimes boring work for us. Come in and read, you will definitely find it useful!

I bring to your attention practical recommendations for the design of various elements of the newspaper different ways. In this methodological manual, based on the experience of creating the newspaper “My College”, in detail The stages of creating a newspaper for an educational institution are presented.

The presentation of the material in the manual is accompanied by a large number of illustrations and is presented in accessible language.
Relevance of the topic is associated with the need to use publications in the educational process that reflect the activities of the educational institution.
Goal of the work: contribute to the formation of common ideas about working with Microsoft application Publisher and the use of graphic editors for design printed edition.
Tasks:

MAIN PART
The newspaper remains the simplest and most accessible publication, and therefore many educational institutions begin their publishing activities with the newspaper, then mastering more complex forms. And since creating a press center in an educational institution is a complex process, assistance is needed in realizing the opportunity for its manifestation. This manual helps to form a general understanding of working with the application Microsoft Publisher and the use of graphic editors for the design of printed publications.
The newspaper of Chasha College has been published since April 2005. Based on many years of experience in publishing, we can share our recommendations for organizing the editorial activities of an educational institution. First of all, I would like to draw attention to the technical component of the newspaper creation project: there is no need to purchase complex software and powerful computer, there is no need to enter into printing agreements with printing houses, and there is no need to create a complex structure of the editorial board. The newspaper consists of two sheets of A4 format and a volume of 8 pages, each page is in A5 format. The newspaper is typed in Microsoft Publisher; for this program to work there is no need to install additional applications, everything works on the platform operating system Windows any version and is printed on a regular office printer. There is a person responsible for publishing the newspaper, an information technology teacher who fully controls the process of creating the newspaper and is responsible for the timely printing of the next issue. The editorial board includes students of the educational institution and members of the journalistic circle. The newspaper is aimed mainly at college students, teachers and staff of the educational institution. We have found the optimal combination of information materials related to the conduct of educational and educational activities, and information from the history of the educational institution, copyright and other materials. The attractiveness of the newspaper is also facilitated by the fact that students see in it a reflection of all cultural events in the life of an educational institution. Our newspaper has become a reflection of the life of Chasha College.
This manual reveals the intricacies of working in the Microsoft Publisher program, shows how to create a newspaper template in this program, how you can set up a printer to print an issue, offers practical recommendations for creating a newspaper design, designing a newspaper title, highlighting headings, pre-processing photographs and layout rubrics The excessive detail in the presentation of the material is explained by the desire to convey information to a wide range of users.
This manual is recommended for members of the teaching staff of educational institutions interested in creating an original newspaper, as well as students ready to create their own printed publication.
Over the many years of publication of the newspaper, the appearance of the headline and design changed several times. The policy of the student newspaper “My College” remained unchanged: a minimum of negativity, our publications are only creative in nature. The main idea of the newspaper: “Everything passes, but if you want to turn around, leave behind a good memory.”
CREATION OF AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION NEWSPAPER
MICROSOFT PUBLISHER PROGRAM
Microsoft Office Publisher (formerly Microsoft Publisher) is a desktop publishing system developed by Microsoft Corporation. This app entry level, which differs from Microsoft Office Word in that the emphasis is on designing the page layout rather than on formatting and proofreading text. Microsoft Publisher - proprietary software, part of the Microsoft Office suite. The name of the program comes from the word “publisher”, that is, a program designed to produce a variety of publications. Office Publisher includes new and improved tools to help you effectively create, customize, and reuse a variety of customized marketing materials.
NEWSPAPER TEMPLATE
The Microsoft Publisher program has been allowing the Chashin College newspaper to be published for many years. Using it intuitively clear interface You can easily master this difficult task - a journalistic reflection of student life. But if we are talking about a school newspaper, then there is no difference. So, if you need a newspaper layout for an educational institution, you can use our experience. The most important thing in this matter is the desire to leave your mark on the history of the educational institution.

The complete Microsoft Office suite includes Microsoft Publisher. In the 2007 version it is very convenient to save files in PDF format, which was not in previous versions. But in general, this program has not changed as dramatically as in the case of Microsoft Word.
You will only need to make the initial layout of the newspaper once; then you can only format the newspaper, deleting old material and inserting new articles in this place, without forgetting to rename the file itself and the numbering of the issue.
Let's start by launching the program in any way known to you. After activating the program shortcut, the initial program window appears.

From the variety of layouts offered, select “Quick Publishing”. This action It was done once nine years ago and has not changed since then.

Among the templates, “Colored Ribbon” was chosen; this template has a minimum of elements.

The template shown is for one sheet only. We produce an 8-sheet newspaper, so you will have to add more by clicking on one. Select “Add Page” from the drop-down menu.

In the window that appears, mark the required number of pages by checking “After current”

Seven pages appear, but they are scattered, which is very inconvenient for editing, and therefore for printing the issue. Click on any of the pages and select “View on two pages”

As a result, the pages will be connected in pairs, which means you can already begin the procedure for creating a number.

For convenience, you need to close the “Publication Formatting” window

In this mode, it is convenient to view the publication; to edit the text, press the F9 key, which will allow you to zoom in on the publication.

SAVING A FILE
Before you start typing, you need to save the publication on your computer.

This is done in a standard way: “Save as”, select the desired folder. If in the future you publish several issues, you should first put the year in the file name, then the month and the name of the newspaper.
PRINT SETTINGS

If your computer has installed printer, you need to make print settings. For nine years we used the same printer to print all issues. I suspect that the described settings may not be suitable for another printer; an individual approach is needed in each case. In any case, select “Print Settings”
In the window that appears, change the size to A3, the orientation to landscape.

These settings allow you to change the print settings, you must select “Booklet, top fold. This parameter appears fourth and works with scrolling.

For Canon printer For LBP 3200, the printer properties window looks like this; for other models there should not be any significant differences in the parameters.

If you click on the "Print" button, the options should appear as follows. Thanks to these settings, we will be able to print a newspaper issue on two A4 sheets; when folded in half, they will represent a single issue. For a monthly review this is quite enough. There are a lot of events going on: various events, competitions, etc. So we count one page for each event. The convenience of the Microsoft Publisher program is that it allows you to print numbers without going to the printing house.
EXAMPLES OF DESIGN OF A NEWSPAPER NAME
As examples of the design of the name of the newspaper, we will give examples from later design solutions. In any of the projects, the following parameters remained unchanged: the name itself, the coat of arms of the newspaper (not to be confused with the coat of arms of the college), type of publication, year and month of publication. IN latest versions added text about the initial publication.
Anyone who has not solved the problem of monthly publication of a student newspaper cannot imagine the complexity of the process. If a newspaper is published monthly, at least for a year, then the person responsible for the publication can be proud of his work.

Our newspaper was published for the seventieth time in April 2013. This means that information about these years spent by students in college has been preserved. The paper version of the newspaper is much more useful than online publications. There is a greater chance of being read many years later. We periodically remind our readers of this. All newspaper design is done using graphic editors. The program is perfect for solving any issues related to this. Adobe Photoshop CS, or other versions.
PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ROOM DESIGN
NEWSPAPER NAME

If you have passed the stage of choosing a newspaper name and found a wonderful phrase (it is generally accepted that the most optimal newspaper name consists of two words), you are ready to design this name in your unique style. I suggest doing this in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007. Write the selected name in the slide that opens.

To enhance visual effect, let's break the inscription in different fonts. IN in this case We used the compilation “Beautiful Russian fonts v1.2”.

To make the name of the newspaper stand out, you need to choose a background for it. To do this, we create another slide in the presentation, on which we will set a certain background.

Next, both slides must be saved as a picture in JPEG format, for which you need to select “Other formats” when saving, and select the desired format in the window that opens.

A window will definitely appear asking you to specify how many slides to save. If you select "All slides", they will be saved in a separate folder. Specify the exact save location.

For further work on name design, you need Adobe program Photoshop CS. We launch this graphic editor and open in it a picture with the name of the newspaper. This picture was saved without any background, which is necessary for further editing.

Using the " Magic wand"let's select an area outside the text. Don’t forget about the spaces inside the letters (select while holding down the “Shift” key). After that, we invert the selection, we only need the text.

Now copy the selected area and paste it into a previously opened image with a background. So that the inscription is not ordinary, we will use in a simple way: make two layers with the name of the newspaper, remove unnecessary words layer by layer with an eraser. Let's put the words on different levels. Next, we flatten the layers and select a certain area and copy the selection.

The result should be a field with a name; on both sides of the name we will place the coat of arms of the newspaper and the name of the printed publication with the date of issue.

NEWSPAPER COAT OF ARMS
An important component of the design of any newspaper is the presence of its emblem; we will talk about the coat of arms. We'll tell you how to make a coat of arms, as they say, from scratch.

You need to take a suitable picture, determine where to place the text, remove the free field using an eraser and apply text to it. Rounded text looks good.

After completing the development of the base of the coat of arms, we will combine the images. You need to select a second image, preferably with translucent elements. The main image should be cut out using appropriate tools.

After the images are combined, we make adjustments and save the image in the required format. The resulting image is ready to use.

In the same editor we combine the coat of arms and the name of the newspaper.

Paste the resulting image into the document.

GENERAL NEWSPAPER DESIGN
Speaking about newspaper design, it is necessary to decide on a single style that distinguishes this publication from all similar ones, making the newspaper recognizable and unique.

You need to start with the name, and you need to work with original fonts. In the title we indicate the name of the publication and the date of publication of the issue. You can place a photograph that symbolizes the educational institution and the motto of the newspaper.

We highlight the names of the categories in a single style using AutoShapes.

For the AutoShape, let’s create a fill that matches the background of the name and adjust its dimensions. Next, we will apply an inscription to the autoshape corresponding to the name of the category.

Upon registration following pages you need to add a title corresponding to the article and a serial number. Page numbers are convenient to use when printing numbers, for the correct solution of duplex printing. We use central pages for large articles. When selecting a design, you should take into account the fact that in a color image the inscriptions are seen differently than in monochrome printing. All inscriptions are made as contrasting as possible. You should not get carried away with frequent design changes; the reader should get used to the image of the newspaper; if necessary, the entire design should be changed.
WORKING WITH PHOTOS
Very great importance for the newspaper has the placement of photographs. All photographic materials, given the small format of the publication, should be as informative as possible. It is better to give up photography altogether than to post a small image. Ideally, the picture should be at least a third of the sheet. Using the built-in functions of the editor, we will crop and flip the image if necessary.

IN free space place an inscription for the text. The scale of the newspaper does not allow text to be placed in columns, which greatly facilitates the work of preparing the issue for printing. When combining photographs, you should use the change in the order of image overlay.

The editor himself must determine the ratio of text and pictures, but in any case he must be guided by simple rule: The newspaper is made for the reader, who expects the issue to be as informative as possible.

Creating a newspaper or newsletter is rewarding and rewarding. With its help you can inform your family last news or tell employees about new events in the life of the company, or even show, say, students what journalism is! The Microsoft Word editor makes it possible to create newspapers and newsletters without any problems, which we will actually tell you about now.

Method 1 of 3: Newspaper Design
Take some newspapers.

Get inspired by what you see on newsstands. Look and think what is successful and what is not so good. Watch and learn how to position headings and images to attract the reader. Try to understand how all these basic elements of a newspaper interact.

Stories are the essence of the newspaper, most of the text.
Images too important point, because they break up the walls of text and provide context for stories. Captions that explain the meaning of the images are also important.
Headings are the first thing the reader will see. It is the headlines that help readers understand whether they will buy the newspaper or not.
Side stripes - they contain Additional Information on the topic of history.

Before starting work, you need to think over a template. Exactly. It's a good idea to have a sketch of what the newspaper should look like in your head or in your drafts before you even open your word processor.

Draw different pages. The first page is significantly different from the rest, and different sections may have slightly different styles. Draw the lines to see how the columns affect the look of the page. Too many columns - the text seems too crowded. Too few columns - everything seems somehow blocky, angular... Arrange text blocks differently. Place text around images, place an image below or above the text, in general - see for yourself. Experiment with the position of the headings. Headings, as you remember, should attract readers' attention, but not distract them.

Decide on the page size. In America, for example, the standard format is 37x55 centimeters. Yes, you can do something different in a text editor - but will you print such sheets on a home printer?

Refer to the newsletter format. So, just two columns and a standard A4 sheet. The fold of newspaper sheets still affects the design. A regular newspaper is folded in half horizontally to keep important content on the top half of the front page.

Collect all your articles in suitable formats. If you're into design, you'll likely have articles from a variety of authors. Make sure that you can work with the format of these articles so that there are no problems later.

Method 2 of 3: Making a Newspaper
Create a new document in a text editor.

Once Word is open, you can either simply create a new document or create one from a template.

Templates: Template menu, Newsletter section. There you can choose from a variety of templates created by Microsoft. These templates often include instructions on how to change the text and images. Templates are an option for those who are in a hurry and want to make a newspaper as quickly as possible.
Those who want to do everything themselves can choose to simply create a new document.

Change the page size. If you have chosen a newsletter format, you can leave the default dimensions. If you want a full-scale newspaper, you will have to change a few things:

Open the Page Layout > Page Setup tab. There, click on the arrow at the bottom right. In the window that appears, open the Paper tab, and select Custom Size from the drop-down menu. Set the width to 15, height to 22. Ignore the program warning that the document has gone beyond the print margins. If you don't print at home, this is not a problem. Without a widescreen monitor, viewing a page will now be difficult.

Create a title. Double-click the document header section that is located above the top border. Open the Header & Footer Design tab. There you can insert dates, page numbers and change the position of headings.

As a rule, a different headline is placed on the first page of the newspaper. The name and dates are quite appropriate here. To give the first page a different header, go to Design > Options > Different First Page. You can change the font and style of the header in the same way as you can change the font and style of regular text. You can draw the header in graphic editor and just paste it into Word as a picture. Method 3 of 3: Filling with Content
Columns.

Word can automatically create columns to format the content you add. However, you have several options here. To access column creation, go to the Page Layout > Page Setup > Columns tab.

Set the number of columns you want to see.
By clicking on More Columns you will have access to creating custom columns. Place the cursor where you want to make a change to the column, go to More Columns > This point forward and click Apply to. Everything above the cursor will not change, everything below will change.
It will be useful to take into account how the article will look with a given column length. Believe me, working on speaker parameters is a difficult moment.

IPictures. Through the Insert tab, open the folder with pictures, select the ones you need and insert them. The text editor will insert the image where the cursor is. Then the Format tab will open.

You can move the image and change its size with the mouse. You can change the way the text wraps the image using the Arrange > Text Wrapping menu. To freely move the image around the page, click on the Position button in the Arrange menu. Select any option in the With Text Wrapping section. This will unlock the image and allow you to move it wherever you want.

Captions for pictures. In Word, you can add a caption to any image inserted into your document. Everything is simple here - right click on the image, Insert Caption option. In the window that opens, you will need to enter the signature text itself.

Checking the Exclude Label field will prevent the editor from printing a general label before your signature. You can change the font and style of your signature in the same way as you can change the fonts and styles of all other texts.

Side stripes. You can add them (and more) using the Insert > Text Box menu. The text editor will offer several styles to choose from, although you can always draw your own by selecting the Draw Text Box option from the bottom of the menu.

Text fields can be moved and enlarged/reduced.

Font and style. So, you have the contents of the newspaper. Why not play with styles now? You understand, the more convenient it is to read the newspaper, the better! A good choice font is much more important than you might think!

Experiment with headlines until you find the best combination of size and look. Make sure the newspaper is in plan appearance homogeneous. Yes, the templates may change slightly from section to section, but the general aspects (font, font size, etc.) should remain the same.

Decide on your colors. Traditional newspapers use color sparingly for both dramatic effect and for economic reasons. Color printing is significantly more expensive than black-and-white printing. Decide what elements of your paper, if any, necessitate the use of color.

However, if you distribute the newspaper in digital format, do not deny yourself anything, but also know when to stop.

Two-sided printing. To make everything look like a real newspaper, you need to print on both sides of the sheet! here you need to go into the printer settings and check if it can do this.

Final edit. At the final editing stage, you should find all the errors and typos that managed to hide from you until this very moment. And in general - find and fix all problems. Check everything, because the quality of your publication will directly depend on how well you check everything!

To make your newspaper look completely newspaper-like, choose one of those fonts that are often used in popular newspapers. Finding such fonts on thematic websites will not be a problem.
Newspaper style templates are good. Some sites even offer everyone to download templates for text editors, with which you can create newspapers... well, or something very similar to them. Using these templates can save you a lot of time.

This article will teach you how to create newspapers using Microsoft Word. Think about what your newspaper will look like, and then bring the idea to life in Word on Windows computer or Mac.

Steps

Part 1 Project

1 Look through several different newspapers. Consider the relative position of the basic elements of a newspaper to understand the principles of layout and placement on paper:
- Materials- the main content, which accounts for the bulk of the text.
- Images- Illustrations and photographs are also important elements of the newspaper. They separate large blocks of text and add context to the stories.
- Headings- the first thing the reader pays attention to when deciding to read or not read the material.
2 Consider the dimensions of the printer. If you do not have an industrial-scale printer, then the matter will be limited to the paper size of 210 by 297 millimeters, which most printers support.
- This size matches the default page size setting for Word on most computers.
3 Think about your page layout in advance. Before you open Word program and start working on formatting, you should get a general idea of the layout of the future newspaper. Take a few sheets of scratch paper and sketch out a few options.
- Consider the design of different pages. The front page will be significantly different from the rest of the newspaper pages, just as the sections should be stylistically different from each other.
- Draw a few lines to figure out the filling. If there are too many columns, the text will be very compressed, and not enough columns will make the page disjointed.
- Try different placements of blocks of text on your draft page. Place the image within the text, above or below the story material.
- Choose an appropriate location for the title. It should grab the reader's attention, but a headline that is too large will distract from the text.
