Word 2007: Inserting a Cover Page

Word 2007 makes it easy for you to customize the look of your documents. But one of the handiest features in Word 2007 is the Cover Page option. Word 2007 includes a number of preformatted cover pages that you can insert with a few clicks of your mouse.

Inserting a Cover Page

2. In the Cover Page gallery, select a design that you like. The cover page will be inserted at the beginning of your document. The Drawing Tools ribbon will open to allow you to customize the look of the cover page.

Of course, you're not limited to the cover pages included with Word. You can customize the preinstalled designs. You can also save your own cover pages in the Cover Page gallery.
