If you’re like most people, you probably use Microsoft Word to create documents that include cover pages. You might create a cover page for a report, for example, or for a document that you want to look professional. In this article, we’ll show you how to create custom cover pages in Microsoft Word 2010. First, open the document that you want to create a custom cover page for. Next, click the File tab and then click Options. In the Options dialog box, click the Cover Page tab. On the Cover Page tab, under Custom Cover Pages, select Add New Page and then enter a name for your new page in the Name field. (For example, “Cover Page 1.”) Click OK to close the Options dialog box. Now let’s add some content to your new cover page. In the document window, click anywhere inside the text area on your new cover page and then press Ctrl+A (Windows) or Command+A (Mac). This will select all of the text on your page and allow you to start typing. When you’re finished typing, press Ctrl+D (Windows) or Command+D (Mac) to save your changes and close the document window. ..
Head over to the “Insert” ribbon and you’ll find that Microsoft Office gives some cover pages that you can use.
Although, normally a cover page appears in the first page, Word lets you place the cover page anywhere in the document.
If you don’t like any of these cover pages, you can always create a custom one. Let’s begin by opening a blank document, and make it pretty. Give it a good background color and put a great picture.
A standard cover page usually has a title, an author name, and perhaps a publication date. You can easily put all these components into the cover page using “Quick Parts”.
You have plenty of options: author name, title, abstract. Put as many document property as you want.
When you are done, select all the components on the cover page (CTRL + A), and save it into the gallery.
Give it the appropriate name and save it.
You should see your new cover page appears inside the cover page gallery.
The next time you want to use it, simply head over to the cover page gallery and use the cover page that you just created.
