How to Create a New Catalogue in MS Word
Step 1
Click
the "Page Layout" tab on the command ribbon, and then click the
"Orientation" arrow button in the Page Setup group to open the
drop-down list. Select "Portrait" for a vertical layout or
"Landscape" for a horizontal layout.
Step 2
Click
the "Insert" tab, click the "Header" or "Footer"
arrow button in the Header & Footer group to open the gallery of styles and
then select a style. Enter your text, such as your company name and website
address. The Header & Footer Tools ribbon will display with the Design tab.
Click the header or footer area to activate the Design tab commands. Add a tick
to the check box for "Different First Page" in the Options group to
start the header or footer on page 2. Double-click the document to close the
header or footer and to access the main command ribbon.
Step 3
Click
the "Insert" tab, click the "Page Number" arrow button in
the Header & Footer group to open the drop-down list, point over a
preferred area for your pagination and then select the style. For example,
point over "Bottom of Page" and then select "Page X, Accent Bar
1." Click "Close Header and Footer" in the Close group on the
Design tab to return to the document.
Text and Images
Step 1
Click
the "Insert" tab, click the "Text Box" arrow button in the
Text group and then select "Draw Text Box" to insert a movable frame
on your document. Click inside this text box and enter your title. Click the
"Home" tab and select an editing tool, such as the font options for
size in the Font group, to update your title’s appearance. Click the text box
border to change the cursor to four arrows, and then drag to move your text box
on your layout.
Step 2
Click
the "Insert" tab followed by "Pictures" in the
Illustrations group to open your photo gallery. Click the image file, and then click
"Insert" to display your photo on your document. Click the photo to
convert the cursor to four arrows and drag the photo to the preferred area.
Click the frame’s sizing handles, and then click and drag a handle to resize
the dimensions to fit your layout.
Step 3
Click
the "Insert" tab, click the "Text Box" arrow button in the
Text group and select the preferred style, such as "Facet Sidebar
Right" or "Draw Text Box," to frame your text. Enter your text
and apply the edit commands on the Home tab to make the text more legible. For
example, enter your product code and price with a font size 12 selected from
the Font group.
Step 4
Click
in the document, click the "Insert" tab and then click "Blank
Page" or "Page Break" in the Pages group to add more pages to
your catalog. The header or footer will display. Continue inserting text and
images.
Step 5
Press
"Ctrl-S" often to save your work frequently as a Word document.
Tip
·
To remove the border around the text box, click inside the text
box to bring up the Format tab on the Drawing Tools ribbon. Click the
"Format" tab, click the "Shape Outline" arrow button in the
Shape Styles group and then select "No Outline."
·
Resize your image files to a smaller size that still retains a
high image quality before you insert it in your Word catalog. A smaller image
file will take up less storage space.
·
Click an image to display the Picture Tools ribbon and the
Format tab commands. For example, click the "Format" tab, click
"Compress Pictures" in the Adjust group and then select the target
output.
·
Save this Word document as a PDF when you finish entering every
detail. Click the "File" tab, click "Export" in the
sidebar, click "Create PDF.XPS" and then click "Create
PDF/XPS." Select the file location, and then click "Publish."
You also retain the original Word document.
