Guide to creating a cover page with beautiful, standard borders.
1. Creating a cover page with beautiful borders using pre-existing images.
To create a cover page with beautiful borders, we can use pre-existing templates including images. This is a popular and convenient decoration style, and you can also customize it to your liking.
Step 1: On the Word interface, select Insert > Then click on Page > and finally select Cover Page.
Cover Page is the section that helps you quickly create a cover page without much effort, ideas, and moreover, you can access Microsoft's online Cover page repository to download more various templates to your computer.
Step 2: In the Cover Page section, you have the option to choose from many different styles. In this example, Mytour will create a cover page with beautiful borders using the Motion style, which is quite popular nowadays. To select, you just need to click on it.
Below, there's another section called More Cover pages from Office, which is the part Mytour mentioned earlier, allowing you to access Microsoft's online Cover page repository.
Step 3: Immediately, you'll see a cover page appear, where you're allowed to replace the title, date, and author's name to suit your preferences the most.
As for the image section, you can also replace it by clicking on the image and then right-clicking to choose Change Picture to replace the image. Here, there are 2 options with 2 types to help you replace different images:
- From a File: If you choose this option, you'll directly access files on your computer, and you can replace any image you want.
- From Online Sources: With this choice, you'll search for online images using keywords through the Bing tool. Please note that this tool still cannot optimize results as well as Google.
If you choose the second option, you'll need to enter keywords to search for images. However, we do not recommend this option because Bing works best only with the English language.
Step 4: If you select an image from your computer, you're also allowed to resize and position it to fit best with the text and create a cover page with beautiful, standard borders.
2. Creating a cover page with beautiful, standard borders by creating border lines.
If you're someone with a simple style but want to create a cover page with beautiful, standard borders, using border lines is very suitable. Additionally, it also demonstrates the professionalism of a graduation report or thesis.
Step 1: Still in the Cover Page section, but this time we'll choose a lighter Cover. Here, Mytour selects Filigree for this article.
Step 2: Immediately, with just a few lines and patterns, you have yourself an impressive Cover page. Here, you have the authority to adjust the title, author's name, or other content like usual.
Step 3: Next, we'll create a cover page with beautiful borders in the Design section > and select Page Borders.
Step 4: In the Page Border section, you can choose various parameters as shown in the image to get the best result. Note that in the Apply to section, choose This section - First page only to display it only on the Cover page. Then go to Options to set up more.
Note: You can customize the thickness of the border by increasing or decreasing it in the Width section.
Step 5: In the Options section, under the Margin part, set the border as shown in the image to achieve the most standard and beautiful proportion. In the Measure from section, choose Text.
Below, there's the Options section, uncheck all values and then click OK to confirm the settings.
Step 6: As a result, we'll have the image below, your cover page will look very beautiful yet entirely simple. If desired, you can add images or keep it as it is.
Step 7: To add an image, go to the Insert tab and select Pictures to get images from your computer.
After a little adjustment, we have completed creating a cover page with beautiful, standard borders for the graduation report.
