The Word program provides its users with the ability to create a background for a document. Moreover, in its original form, the program has a number of templates that are most relevant. But the opportunity to create your own substrate remains exactly the same. Of course, there is some inconvenience - when adding a background to one sheet, it is duplicated to all the others. That is, you cannot insert different substrates on separate sheets. In this case, you need to create a new document. However, there is a little trick that will be described at the very end of the article.
So, let’s look at how to make a substrate in Word. Three options will be discussed below. The first is to insert a standard background. The second is in creating your own. And the third will allow you to add different substrates in one document.
Add a standard background
How to make a substrate in Word using standard tools for this?
And this is done quite simply. First of all, you need to go to the tab "Design" ("Page Layout"). In this tab, click on the "Substrate" button, which is located on the toolbar in the "Page Background" area.
After clicking on the button below, a window will appear in which you will be offered a choice of different types of substrates. As you can see, for better navigation, they are divided into groups: "Disclaimer", "Secret" and "Urgent". You just have to select the necessary one and click on it with the left mouse button.
That's all. You have learned how to make a substrate in Word using the templates available in the program.
Making your own background
But what if in the list you did not find the option you need? Let's figure out how to make a substrate in the "Word" on their own.
You, like last time, need to go to the "Design" tab and click on the "Substrate" button. Only this time, in the drop-down menu, you need to select the item "Custom background".
As a result, the "Printed substrate" window opens. In it, the settings of the added background will be carried out. To get started, set the switch to "Image" or "Text", depending on what you want to use.
If you decide to use a picture, set the scale and use the "Select" button to pave the way to the picture.
If you use text, then you must first specify the language of the text to be entered, then directly enter the text itself, select its font, color and size. You can also determine its position - horizontally or diagonally.
It remains only to press the OK button, and the substrate you made appears on the sheet. Now you know how to make a different substrate in Word so that it does not look like any of the proposed ones.
Add different watermarks on each sheet.
Users often wonder how to make multiple substrates in Word. Not surprisingly: the developers simply did not provide such an opportunity. But there is a little trick, which will be discussed now.
Instead of a substrate, you can insert different patterns on different sheets and make them translucent - so that they cannot be distinguished from the substrates themselves. By the way, drawings can be found on the Internet.
So, we’ll initially add a picture. To do this, go to the "Insert" tab and in the "Illustrations" area, click on the button of the same name. Now in the "Explorer" indicate the path to the picture and open it.
Click on the picture and go to the "Format" tab. There, click on the "Wrap Text" button and select "Behind Text" in the drop-down menu.
It remains only to make the picture gray and transparent. To do this, in the same tab, click on "Correction", and in the menu, select "Parameters for correction of the picture." In the window on the right in the "Color of the picture" group opposite the "Recolor" item, click on the icon. In the drop-down list, select "Gray 25%, light background color 2".
That's all - the impromptu backing is ready.
