Drop Cap, Page numbers

Minhaj University Lahore


Introduction
• Word automatically inserts a page break at the end of each page when you create a document.
• You can manually add a page break somewhere else in your document. (You can always delete a
page break that you've added but you can't remove one that Word automatically adds at the end of
each page.)
• Also, you can set up rules for Word so the automatic page breaks are placed where you want them.
This is especially helpful if you're working in a long document.
1. Click where you want to start a new page.
2. Click Insert > Page Break.

To see where you’ve added page breaks, click Home and, in the Paragraph group, click
Show/Hide.

Page breaks look like this:


Adjust automatic page breaks
• To prevent automatic page breaks from falling in awkward places, such as between lines of text you'd like to
keep together, you can adjust the page break settings for selected paragraphs.
• 1. Select the paragraphs where you want to apply the settings.
• 2. Click Layout, and then click the arrow in the Paragraph group.

3. In the Paragraph box, click Line and Page Breaks.


• Choose one or more

• Widow/Orphan control places at least two lines of a paragraph at the top or bottom of a page.
• Keep with next prevents breaks between paragraphs you want to stay together.
• Keep lines together prevents page breaks in the middle of paragraphs.
• Page break before adds a page break before a specific paragraph.
Text with many widows and orphans typically has
poor readability, and they should be avoided if
possible.
Keep With Next
• The Keep with next setting keeps the bottom of the selected paragraph and the top of the next paragraph on
the same page.
Keep Lines Together
• The Keep lines together setting keeps the lines of a single paragraph on the same page. Without this setting, a
paragraph might split over two pages:

Add page numbers in Word

• Add basic page numbering to a Word document by using the Page Number button on the Insert tab.
• For more advanced page numbering help, such as working with documents that are divided into sections,
using fields to add page numbers to headers, and starting page numbering later in a document
• 1. Choose a location, such as Top of Page or Bottom of Page, and then pick a style in the gallery. Word
automatically numbers every page.
• Tip: Want to change the appearance of the page number you just added to your Word document? On the
Home tab, choose Font, and change, for example, the font style and family, and font size and color.
• 2. When you’re done, choose Close Header and Footer, or double-click anywhere outside the header and
footer area.

Tip: Word automatically numbers every page, but you can change that if you want to. For example, if
you don't want the page number to appear on the first page of your document, double-click or double-tap
near the top or bottom of a page to open the Header & Footer Tools Design tab, and select Different
First Page. For more options, choose Insert > Page Number > Format Page Numbers.
Drop caps
• Drop caps are a decorative touch, done through typographical means, that you can apply to your document.
Drop caps are traditionally done with the first letter of a chapter or some other major section of a document.
To create drop caps, do the following:
1. Type your paragraph as you normally would.
2. Make sure the insertion point is somewhere within the paragraph.
3. Display the Insert tab of the ribbon.
4. In the Text group, click Drop Cap. Word displays some common options for drop caps.
5. Choose Drop Cap Options. Word displays the Drop Cap dialog box.
Figure 1. The Drop Cap dialog box.

6. Chose the position for your drop cap, according to your


preference.
7. Change any other options to format your drop cap.
8. Click on OK.
To insert a header or footer:

• 1. Select the Insert tab.


• 2. Click either the Header
or Footer command. A
drop-down menu will
appear.
• 3. From the drop-down
menu, select Blank to
insert a blank header or
footer, or choose one of
the built-in options.
• 4. The Design tab will appear on the
Ribbon, and the header or footer will
appear in the document.
• 5. Type the desired information into the
header or footer.

6. When you're finished, click Close Header and Footer in the


Design tab, or hit the Esc key.

After you close the header or footer, it will still be visible, but it
will be locked. To edit it again, just double-click anywhere on
the header or footer, and it will become unlocked.
To insert the date or time into a header or footer

• 1. Double-click anywhere on the header or footer to unlock it. The Header and Footer tab will appear.
• 2. From the INSERT group click the Date & Time command.
• 3. Select a date format in the dialog box that appears.

4. Place a check mark in the Update


Automatically box if you would like it to always
reflect the current date. Otherwise, it will not
change when the document is opened at a later
date.
5. Click OK. The date and time now appears in the
document.
Creating WordArt
• In addition to adding effects to a text box, you can add effects to the text inside the text box, which is
known as WordArt. For the most part, the types of effects you can add are the same as the ones you can add
to shapes or text boxes (shadow, level, etc.). However, you can also transform the text to give it a wavy,
slanted, or inflated look.
To apply a quick style to text:
A quick style will automatically apply
several effects to your text at once. You can
then refine the look of your text by adding
or modifying text effects.
1. Select the text box, or select some text
inside of the text box. The Format tab will
appear.
2. Click the Format tab.
3. Click the Quick Styles command in the
WordArt Styles group. A drop-down menu
will appear.

After you have applied a quick style, you can still modify the
font or font color from the Home tab if you want.
To convert regular text into WordArt:
• For text to be formatted as WordArt, it
needs to be inside of a text box.
However, there's a shortcut that allows
you to convert text into WordArt even if
it's not in a text box.
• 1. Select the text you want to convert.
• 2. Click the Insert tab.
• 3. Click the WordArt command. The
Quick Styles drop-down menu will
appear.

4. Select the desired quick style.


5. Word will automatically create a text box for
your text and apply the style to the text.
To add or modify text effects:
• 1. Select the text box, or select some text inside of the text box. The Format tab will appear.
• 2. Click the Format tab.
• 3. Click the Text Effects command in the WordArt Styles group. A drop-down menu will appear, showing
the different effect categories.
4. Hover over an effect category. A drop-
down menu will appear. You can hover the
mouse over the different presets to see a live
preview.

Select the desired effect preset. The


effect will be applied to your text. If you
want, you can combine several effects.
Task 01:
• Insert picture in header and numbering in footer and cover page should exclude numbering.
