Steps I Followed to Create the Flyer on "The Solar Power" in Microsoft
Word 2021:
1.Opening Microsoft Word:
I started by clicking on the Start menu, navigating to Microsoft Office, and then
opening Microsoft Word to begin the flyer.
2. Setting the Page Layout:
In the Page Layout tab, I adjusted the Page Size to A4 and chose Landscape
orientation because I wanted more width for my design. Then, I set the Margins to
Narrow to give myself more room on the page.

3.Inserting a Title:
At the top of the flyer, I typed “The Solar Power” as the title. I highlighted it and
increased the font size to 36 pt, choosing Arial Black to make it bold and clear. I also
changed the font color to a bright yellow-orange to reflect the theme of solar energy

5.Inserting Pictures:
To make the flyer more visually appealing, I clicked on the Insert tab and added
pictures of solar panels and a sun symbol. I resized them to fit neatly within the
layout and used the Text Wrap option to position the images alongside the text
without overlapping anything important.

7. Applying Text Effects:
I wanted the title to pop, so I used Text Effects from the Home tab, adding a subtle
shadow and glow to give it a three-dimensional look. This made the title stand out
even more.

9. Adding Bullet Points:
For the list of benefits under "Benefits of Solar Power," I used bullet points to make
the information easy to scan. I chose a creative bullet style, which gave the flyer a
more professional and polished appearance.
