How to Create a Newspaper in Word
Johann Carolus printed the first newspaper in Germany called Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien in 1605. Ever since then, the print and newspaper business continued to progress. With that said, even elementary pupils are taught the newspaper's history and how to create it. If you're looking for tips on how to create a newspaper in Word, we have a few listed below.
1. Provide the Newspaper Name
Just as you would in other graphic materials, e.g., newsletters, catalogs, and manuals, you should also provide your newspaper's name on the topmost part of the front page. You can also include your newspaper logo, if available.
2. Use Columns
Since Word is not for publishing or graphic materials, unlike Publisher, it is best to use columns to emulate the division of texts in an actual newspaper. Word has a couple of options as to how many columns you can include on a page.
3. Use the Title Choices
Word also has various title options that you can use. Doing so will help differentiate the type of headlines, i.e., banner headlines. This will also help you bookmark your headlines for easy editing.
4. Input the Texts
Encode your article on the page following the flow of your columns. Make sure to separate the types of articles based on the pages. For example, the front page appropriate for urgent or important news, and other pages can be for feature articles, editorial pieces, and entertainment columns.
