Microsoft Word Tutorials

Create a poster in MS Word

The next step of our Microsoft Word tutorials is learning how to create a poster in MS Word now that you have mastered the insertion of photos and images into an MS Word document.
The video below will give you an idea of the vast array of possibilities which MS Word offers when producing documents with images. You can make a yearbook page with all your classmates, personalised certificates and pretty much anything that involves images in a document.
Click the video to start learning. It's in two parts. When the first video ends, click the one below to continue the tutorial.






Microsoft Word help with photo  resizing to fit a frame

You need to be accurate when printing a photo to fit a photo frame. Can Microsoft Word help? Of course, it can. If you are using expensive photo paper you cannot afford to have a number of failed printouts before you get it right.
The video below will bring you through the process so that your first printout is perfect and ready for the picture frame

A personalised photo calendar is a visually stunning item. When you create your own calendar with holiday photos, pictures of your children or any other digital images which would personalise the calendar for you.

Advanced photo calendars

To create advanced photo calendars we have to be a little more careful about the shape of the digital photos so that they fit better in the space available. The difference between the amateur version and what you can produce with a little more care will be worth the extra effort.
