Make a Poster Using Microsoft Word
If you need to make a professional poster, it's easy to do so in Word. By creating a box and formatting it to fit your needs, you can make a poster that looks much better than one you'd draw by hand. Once you're happy with the poster you have, print it out and make some copies!
Steps
- Go to the little tabs on the top left, go to the one that says, "Format" then go to border and shading - click on that, then select page border, and select the box setting.
- Choose whatever line style and color, and thickness you want the border to be.
- Hit OK and click on the view tab on the upper left corner. Click on insert toolbars and drawing. A section should come up on the bottom of your screen.
- If you want a title on your poster, use word art. To do that, click Insert, then select Word art, or just click the big fancy letter on the toolbar below.
- Then, click on the little 'newspaper' thing on the on the tool bar, (Giant A with lines around it)
- Drag the box around, and click the paintbrush (on the bottom) and select the same color line as the border. Also on the line thing make it the thickest.
- Insert your picture. You can either copy and paste or insert from a file.
- Repeat these steps until you have a poster!
Tips
- Make a page border to make the poster more attractive.
- If you want to 'WOW!' people, you can just copy and paste pictures and click on the little thing that says auto shapes and you can use any little bubble you want!
