The tutorial below will show you how to make a booklet in Microsoft Word. Keep reading to learn more about booklets and how Word can make your next project look great!
Getting Started
To create a booklet in Word, open a new Microsoft Word document. Go to the “Page Layout” tab. In the “Page Setup” group, click “Margins.” Select “Narrow” from the drop-down menu. This will reduce your margins so you can fit more content on each page.
Creating the Cover
Once you have selected the size and orientation, you can then begin to add images, text, and colors to the cover. You can add images by inserting them into the document or by using the Clip Art library.
To add text, you can simply type it into the document or you can use the Text Box tool to create a text box and then insert the text into that.
To add colors, you can use the fill tool to color in shapes or you can use the background color tool to add color to the background of the document. You can also create a gorgeous and personalized booklet template using Adobe Express. Try it now!
Adding and Arranging Pages
To add pages to your booklet, open Microsoft Word and click on the “Insert” tab. Then, click on “Blank Page.” This will insert a new page into your booklet.
You can then add text, images, and other content to this page. To add additional pages, repeat this process.
To arrange pages, in the “Page Setup” window, select “Booklet” from the “Layout” drop-down menu. Then, enter the number of pages you want in your booklet into the “Pages” field. Finally, click “OK.”
Printing the Booklet
To print your booklet, go to the File tab and select Print. In the Settings section, select the print option that matches the way you want to assemble and collate your booklet.
Collate means printing your document in the order that the pages will appear in the finished booklet. Many printers have an automatic document feeder that makes it easy to print booklets.
If your printer doesn’t have an automatic document feeder, you’ll need to print the pages one at a time, and then assemble the pages into a booklet.
