Intro:
Hi Friends !! In this post I will
explain how to create Professional news letter using MS-Office. Its very simple.
I have attached Screenshots also. If you are not too well
versed with popular newsletter creating applications, you can still create a very
impressive newsletter with the help of MS Word 2007!!!
Step 1
Designing the Cover Header:
A
newsletter generally does not have a dedicated
cover. The purpose of a newsletter is to be very
direct and
to-the point. Hence, the first page contains a table of contents, the editorial
or the main
story. To create the identity of your
newsletter on the cover page, carry out the following steps:
- Go to the 'Insert' tab. Click the 'Cover Page' option from the 'Pages ' section.
- Select a cover design from the drop-down list. Here,we are using 'Stack'.
- Drag and place the table on the left of the page.
- Type newsletter name, issue date and other details. Play around with the font sizes as required.

Step 2
Styling the newsletter name:
Once
your header is ready, you need to start with
the first story headline. To do so, carry out the following
steps:
- Type a headline in alignment with your newsletter name.
- Select headline text. Go to the 'Home' tab and click the 'Title' option from the 'Styles ' section.
- Alternatively you can also use 'Heading 1', 'Heading 2', 'Heading 3' or 'Heading 4' styles for your title.
- Put in the author's name for the story below the headline.
- Select the 'byline' text.Go to the 'Home' tab and click the 'Emphasis' option appearing under the 'Styles ' section of the tab.

Step 3
Adding a drop-cap to the first alphabet:
A
drop cap ensures that your readers know where
each of your stories begin. To do so, carry out the
- Finally type out the contents of your story.
- Go to the 'Insert' tab to apply a drop cap to the first alphabet of the story.
- Click the 'Drop Cap'option under the 'Text' group.
- Click the 'Dropped' option from the drop-down menu. If the alphabet shifts in alignment drag it to the appropriate position.
Step 4
Adding columns to paragraphs:
It
is always advisable to have multi column text
to enhance the readability of your story. A single
page can
have many blocks of multi-column text. To do so, carry out the following steps:
- Select the required text.
- Go to 'Page Layout' tab.
- Click the 'Columns' option appearing under the'Page Setup' group.

awkwardly, set the 'Text Wrap' value to 'Square'.

it a bit livelier by adding images to it. To do so,
carry out
the following steps:

Step 8

highlight key quotes or important lines from
your
story. To add text blurbs, carry out the following steps:

- Go to the 'Insert' tab.
