Hi,
Ok, so I'm doing this letter for a client & I've never done text box work in Word before, but she said to use it. There's an image in her letter that needs to be recreated.
I figured out most of what I needed to do, but I have a few questions:
- Someone mentioned templates. When would someone use a template vs. a text box?
I think this letter will go out again several times, so is a template a better option or I have to make the image into a text box anyway & then use a template?
- I got the logo in there, but how do you move it around so I get it where I want to? Same with the text on 3 of the lines, how can I move it around?
How can I make the logo smaller, or do I have to do that in another program & then insert it into the text box?
She had a black background & white text. I found the background color & it made the background black, but it didn't make the entire background black. Is that b/c I have 2 text boxes within the large squared area?
Where the text is, that area's background is white, so that's not working. When I tried to make the text white, of course you couldn't see it so I removed that.
- I can't figure out how to insert short vertical or horizontal lines. I tried to drag the line shape from the toolbar, but it didn't work. I couldn't see the line once I expanded it vertically. I even double clicked & then made it white thinking that was the issue, but nothing.
- Also off topic, how does one move the footer down further. It's default is always to be high up from the end of the page, but I need more space. When I tried to go into the footer & put a blank line it, it moved the signature down onto a 2nd page.
- If anyone has a gig on Fiverr, please let me know. I really prefer that someone walk me thru this via the phone & I looked on there, & there's very few Word experts. Most are like me, they just know the basics.
Thanks
Michelle
