First, you have to set up the page layout, and then insert a table, and finally, insert WordArt. Following are detailed steps to each part: ### Part 1: Steps to Set up Page Layout 1. First and foremost, open your Word to create a new blank document. 2. Click “Page Layout” on the “Menu Bar”. 3. Then click “Margins” in “Page Setup” group. 4. Next choose “Custom Margins” on the list-menu.![Click "Page Layout" -> Click "Margins" -> Choose "Custom Margins"]( "Click \"Page Layout\" -> Click \"Margins\" -> Choose \"Custom Margins\"") 5. Now the “Page Setup” dialog box will pop up. 6. Click “Margins” option first. 7. Set “0” for all margins so you won’t need to crop the paper after printing. 8. Then choose “Landscape” orientation.![Set "0" for All Margins then Choose "Landscape" Orientation]( "Set \"0\" for All Margins then Choose \"Landscape\" Orientation") 9. Next click “Paper” option. 10. Choose a paper size. Here we just choose “A4” for example. 11. Click “OK”.![Click "Paper" -> Choose "Paper Size" -> Click "OK"]( "Click \"Paper\" -> Choose \"Paper Size\" -> Click \"OK\"") 12. Now there can be a warning message, just click “Ignore”.![Click "Ignore"]( "Click \"Ignore\"") ### Part 2: Steps to Insert a Table 1. Click “Insert” on the “Menu Bar”. 2. Then click “Table”. 3. Next choose “Insert Table” on the list-menu.![Click "Insert" -> Click "Table" -> Choose "Insert Table"]( "Click \"Insert\" -> Click \"Table\" -> Choose \"Insert Table\"") 4.

Click “OK”.![Set Numbers for Columns and Rows -> Click "OK"]( "Set Numbers for Columns and Rows -> Click \"OK\"") 7. Now click the cross sign on the left corner of the table so as to select the table. 8. Then right click. 9.

In “Table Properties” dialog box, click “Row” first. 11. Check the “Specify height” box. 12. Type a number as large as the height of your nameplate holder on the text box next.![Click "Row" Option -> Type Size Number]( "Click \"Row\" Option -> Type Size Number") 13. Then click “Column”. 14. Check “Preferred width” box. 15. Type a number as large as the width of your nameplate holder. 16. Click “OK’ to save the change.![Click "Column" -> Set the Size -> Click "OK"]( "Click \"Column\" -> Set the Size -> Click \"OK\"") For example, you may get a table as below:![An Adjusted Table]( "An Adjusted Table") ### Part 3: Steps to Insert WordArt 1. Lay your cursor at the first row. 2. Click “Insert”. 3. Then click “WordArt”. 4. Choose a style.![Click "Insert" -> Click WordArt -> Choose a Style]( "Click \"Insert\" -> Click WordArt -> Choose a Style") 5. And input your text. 6. On the second row, repeat the step 2 to step 5.![Insert WordArt Twice]( "Insert WordArt Twice") 7. Adjust the positions of both WordArt. 8. Click the first WordArt. 9. Put cursor on the green handle. 10. Then rotate the WordArt 180 degrees clockwise to the following position:![Drag the Handle to Rotate ]( "Drag the Handle to Rotate ")![Effect after Rotating 180 Degrees Clockwise]( "Effect after Rotating 180 Degrees Clockwise") 11. Right click the first WordArt. 12. Choose “More Layout Options”.![Right Click the WordArt -> Choose "More Layout Options"]( "Right Click the WordArt -> Choose \"More Layout Options\"") 13. Then click “Text Wrapping”. 14. Choose “In front of text” for “Wrapping style”. 15. Click “OK”. 16. Repeat step 11 to 14 for the second WordArt.
