Word has always been the workhorse app of the Microsoft Office suite. Nearly everyone who uses Office ends up using Word at some point, whether it be for writing memos, typing up agendas, creating reports, crafting business correspondence, or any of a thousand other uses. There are many lessons you can learn in a Microsoft Office Training program. Still, in this article, we will explain ways you can insert tables, pictures, and watermarks in a Microsoft word document.
Inserting a Table
If you want to customize the number of columns and rows that will fit your contents, you will need to create a table in your Word document.
There are so many ways to do this, but the most common and easy method is to click “INSERT” in the title bar, then click “Table” to select the number of columns and rows based on your needs. You can also customize your table by typing in the dialogue box the number of columns, rows, and how you want to fit the contents.
Suppose you have a text that is separated by comma, space, or special characters. In that case, you can convert it into a table by highlighting the text, selecting “INSERT” in the title bar, selecting “TABLE,” and then “CONVERT THE TEXT TO TABLE” to choose more options on how you want your table to look like.
Inserting pictures
You can insert any kind of pictures in your Microsoft word document, such as curriculum vitae profile photos and more.
First, you need to click on “INSERT” in the title bar. You will see picture options; if you select “Picture,” a floating dialogue box will open to allow you to choose one or more pictures already downloaded on your computer. After selecting the picture you want, click “INSERT” on the dialogue box to get your image inside the document.
You will have options to re-size, move or rotate the picture to suit your needs. Positioning can be done by dragging or using the formatting tools available.
Inserting Watermark
You may need a watermark to protect the confidentiality, prove the legality or indicate the validity of your document.
Microsoft word provides different watermark options, so can you select one that suits you. There is more than a one-page document, and you can have a watermark on one page appearing in the rest of the pages.
To add a watermark, you need to click on “DESIGN” on the title bar, find “Water Mark” on the left, and click the drop-down below to select the watermark template you want to use. It will add the template you want to choose to all the pages of your document.
You can also have a customized text to be displayed if the available options are not what you want. To do this, click on the drop-down below “Water Mark” on the title bar and select “Customized Water Mark.” A dialogue box will open for you to choose the “Text Water Mark” option. In the text box, type in the text you want to appear as your watermark. If you want the text to be displayed horizontally or diagonally, you will also select it in the dialogue box.
