Create a Newsletter

Newsletters can come out pretty nice.  The purpose of the newsletter is to make something that present information and looks nice. 

1. Click File.

2. Click Page Setup.

3. Set your left and right margins to .5".  This will make the left and right margins equal to the center margin.

5. Click columns to start. 

6. Choose Heading One on the left side of the screen. 

7. Type Newsletter.

8. Click Center.

9. Click Insert.

10. Click Date and Time. 

11. Press enter and then type your name.  You are the author.

12. Press enter twice.

13. Click Justify. 

14. Now you may want to change the font.  I like a simple to read font that is easy to read.  Comic Sans is nice.  Click on the down arrow next to the fonts to choose yours. 

15. Now you can type a paragraph or so for an introduction.

Here is the three column newsletter.

1. Click file.

2. Click Page Setup. 

3. Switch the orientation to landscape.  This will make it so the print will come out with the paper turned sideways. 

4. Set the top, bottom, left, and right margins to .5. 

5. Click Ok.

6. Set your columns to three. 

7. Now you can start your columns.

Tips and Hints:

• This toolbar controls the font and font size. 

• These are the buttons for left justify, center, right justify, and justified.
