need help creating a Template in MS Word
Can anyone help me create a template for MS Word 2010 from a .PNG file.
Today I found a site that offered free Christmas templates for MS Word and when I saved the file it was saved as a .PNG file. I opened word and the only way I could see how to use the file was to bring it in as a photo and position it so it covered the whole page. That being said, I could not see how to do anything else with it as I could not type text on top of the graphic image. Can anyone explain to me how to go about making this so I can type a multiple page document so that each time I start typing a new page the background image appears and you can type inside the frame of the imported picture. Thanks in advance for any help. |

Your error was in saving the source image in PNG format. Since the site claims to have Word templates, that is what you should have downloaded.

Otherwise, you could import the graphic into the document's header(s) marked to be behind text. Set your margins to be inside the graphic. Save your document as a template and use that as the basis for your Christmas letters.

Once you have the image in your document as a watermark, you can save the document as a template if you wish to use it multiple times or simply continue editing the document if you only need to use it once. Hope this helps others that may be seeking the same answer I was. |
