15.1 Theoretical information

Used to place text in newspaper articles, magazines, and brochures. speakers. In documents Microsoft Word placement of text in columns can be done in one of the following ways: using tabulation; using tables; creation of newspaper speakers. In newspapers columns text flows from the bottom of one column to the top of another, as in newspapers and magazines.

IN Microsoft Word you can create newspaper speakers either using the Columns icon on the Standard toolbar or using the Columns dialog box called up by the "Format/Columns..." command.

For quick creation speakers equal width throughout the document or part of it, select all or part of the text and click the button Columns on the Standard toolbar. In this case, specify the required number of columns using the mouse.

The Columns dialog box, called by the "Format/Columns..." command, provides the following options

• creating columns of different widths;
• specifying the exact width of each column and the spacing between it and the next column;
• forced preservation of the same width of columns;
• adding vertical dividing lines between columns.

When you split selected text into columns, the editor will insert section break lines before and after the selected text. Thus, the selected text is placed in a separate section of the document, in which newspaper columns are created. If you do not select the text in advance when creating columns, all the text will be divided into columns. But if the document is divided into sections, then the columns will not be applied to the entire text, but only to the text of the current section.

In this article we will look at the main types of grids and layouts that are used for layout of magazines, newspapers, advertising publications and other multi-page printed materials. Once you learn the basics of layout, you'll begin to notice grids in every piece of print and be able to create your own layouts.

The grid is the structural basis of the layout, which allows you to arrange information in a printed publication in such a way that it is easy to read and looks beautiful. But if you've chosen a particular type of grid (more on that below), you don't have to stick to it rigidly. It is not the grid that should dictate the rules to you, but you to it. Because the grid is only an auxiliary material that is designed to facilitate the layout process, and in no case limit your creativity and imagination.

Why do you need a mesh?

The grid is vital to document design, especially those that contain text information mixed with images. If in doubt, you can open any magazine. It doesn't matter what it says or how different the layouts of each page are. Overall, the overall structure of the layout will follow a carefully designed grid.

Types of grids

Let's look at the main types of grids, and start with the simple ones, and, accordingly, the most common.
Two columns
The two-column grid is very popular in books, newsletters, or narrow publications where width is limited. Even though this is a very simple layout, you can also spice it up by adding some elements. For example, stretch a title or picture into two columns.

However, if the publication is very wide, then it is better not to use a two-column grid, as it will be inconvenient to read the text.

Three columns
This layout is more flexible than the previous one, as it allows you to stretch text and images across two or even three columns. Suitable for most publications, even wide ones that do not require a complex arrangement of elements.

An alternative to a three-column grid is a three-row grid. It is perfect for publications such as.

Four or more
If you need a flexible layout for a lot of different information and elements, then four or more column grids are the right choice.
In general, grids with an odd number of columns work best. Five or seven columns provide maximum flexibility and allow elements to be arranged asymmetrically, which is often more attractive than a symmetrical layout.

If there is a lot of different information on the page, you can add “air” by simply leaving some columns or parts of columns empty.

Asymmetrical
Continuing the topic of flexible layouts, we can’t help but tell you more about asymmetrical grids. We'll show you how asymmetrical grids bring page layout to life.

Asymmetrical three-column grid with inset
In this example, you see three columns of different sizes, with a narrow column in the center. To make the pages look seamless, you can make a “mirror” layout. Note that some items can still span multiple columns. Each column can have its own functionality.

Here you can see that the narrow center column (in red) is used to describe images or quotes. If there is no information for it, it can be left empty, which in turn adds “air” and refreshes the overall appearance of the layout.

The most popular option is an asymmetrical three-column grid, where a narrow column or “inset” is located at the edge of the page. The sidebar may be filled with headings, descriptions, quotes, notes, graphics, etc., or not at all. It helps to place emphasis, organize information, or can be used to place some additional information that is not directly related to the general text.

Please note that you can create different designs using the same layout. This example is significantly different from the previous one.

Mixed
We emphasized the importance of using a grid to create cohesion throughout the publication. However, it often happens that some pages contain information that is very different from the rest of the content. There is no need to try to fit it into the selected grid. This can ruin the whole experience. Instead, just use a different grid for those pages.

In our example, the main pages are arranged in an asymmetrical three-column grid with sidebars. But the pages with pictures are organized on a 3x3 grid.

Grid disruption. Examples

We hope we have convinced you of the flexibility and usefulness of grids. But many rules, and grids are no exception, are useful to break from time to time. This is why grids are sometimes “broken” to make the layout more “alive” and interesting.

1. You can visually diversify the layout and add emphasis using a background image stretched to the edge.

2. Another way to “break” the grid is to insert some kind of text block on top of it.

3. For those who like orderly chaos: insert a picture with the orientation of the grid disrupted.

The main thing here is not to overdo it, since a large number of such deviations can make the layout inharmonious and tasteless.

How to choose a suitable mesh?

When choosing a layout, you need to have a clear idea of ​​what the finished publication should look like, what format it will be, how it will be printed, who will read it, what its purpose is, and so on. Here are a few points to help you decide on the choice of grid:

• What will be more in the document (publication): text or images? If there is more text, choose a simple layout with 2-3 columns. If there are more pictures, then a layout with four columns or more is suitable.
• Do you want to include notes, descriptions, subheadings and other additional information in your layout? Then your choice is an asymmetric mesh with a side “inset”.
• Complexity. For complex documents in which text is heavily mixed with pictures (a newspaper, for example), it is better to choose a grid divided into several columns or rows. This will provide greater flexibility and organization of information. Again, there's no need to overcomplicate the layout so that you end up losing structure altogether.
• Document type. If the document contains a large number of small notes and pictures, then you can break it down not only into columns, but also into rows, creating a cellular structure.

The most difficult thing in any project is overcoming the “blank slate” when a new document is open in front of you and you don’t know where to start. If the stupor does not go away, then it is better to use a blank or template that has already been developed. Then it will be easier to change it by adding something of your own. We invite you to download a set of free designer magazine layouts from Chandesh Tk. You can download it.

Pay attention to the techniques that you should not forget about while working on the layout design:

• You don't have to place all your content strictly within grid lines. An image or piece of text can occupy several columns at once.
• There is no need to “fill” all the columns with information. Leave some grid units empty (headers, photos, etc.) to keep the layout light.
• Sometimes you can use padding and margins by stretching the image to the edge of the page. This will make the layout more interesting.

Creating a newspaper or newsletter is rewarding and rewarding. With its help, you can tell your family the latest news or tell employees about new events in the life of the company, or even show, say, students what journalism is! The Microsoft Word editor makes it possible to create newspapers and newsletters without any problems, which we will actually tell you about now.

Method 1 of 3: Newspaper Design
Take some newspapers.

Get inspired by what you see on newsstands. Look and think what is successful and what is not so good. Watch and learn how to position headings and images to attract the reader. Try to understand how all these basic elements of a newspaper interact.

• Stories are the essence of the newspaper, most of the text.
• Images are also important because they break up walls of text and provide context for stories. Captions that explain the meaning of the images are also important.
• Headings are the first thing the reader will see. It is the headlines that help readers understand whether they will buy the newspaper or not.
• Sidebars - These provide additional information about the topic of the story.

Before starting work, you need to think over a template. Exactly. It's a good idea to have a sketch of what the newspaper should look like in your head or in your drafts before you even open your word processor.

Draw different pages. The first page is significantly different from the rest, and different sections may have slightly different styles. Draw the lines to see how the columns affect the look of the page. Too many columns - the text seems too crowded. Too few columns - everything seems somehow blocky, angular... Arrange text blocks differently. Place text around images, place an image below or above the text, in general - see for yourself. Experiment with the position of the headings. Headings, as you remember, should attract readers' attention, but not distract them.

Decide on the page size. In America, for example, the standard format is 37x55 centimeters. Yes, you can do something different in a text editor - but will you print such sheets on a home printer?

Please refer to the newsletter format. So, just two columns and a standard A4 sheet. The fold of newspaper sheets still affects the design. A regular newspaper is folded in half horizontally to keep important content on the top half of the front page.

Collect all your articles in suitable formats. If you're into design, you'll likely have articles from a variety of authors. Make sure that you can work with the format of these articles so that there are no problems later.

Method 2 of 3: Making a Newspaper
Create a new document in a text editor.

Once Word is open, you can either simply create a new document or create one from a template.

• Templates: Template menu, Newsletter section. There you can choose from a variety of templates created by Microsoft. These templates often include instructions on how to change the text and images. Templates are an option for those who are in a hurry and want to make a newspaper as quickly as possible.
• Those who want to do everything themselves can choose to simply create a new document.

Change the page size. If you have chosen a newsletter format, you can leave the default dimensions. If you want a full-scale newspaper, you will have to change a few things:

Open the Page Layout > Page Setup tab. There, click on the arrow at the bottom right. In the window that appears, open the Paper tab, and select Custom Size from the drop-down menu. Set the width to 15, height to 22. Ignore the program warning that the document has gone beyond the print margins. If you don't print at home, this is not a problem. Without a widescreen monitor, viewing a page will now be difficult.

Create a title. Double-click the document header section that is located above the top border. Open the Header & Footer Design tab. There you can insert dates, page numbers and change the position of headings.

As a rule, a different headline is placed on the first page of the newspaper. The name and dates are quite appropriate here. To set a different title for the first page, go to Design > Options > Different First Page. You can change the font and style of the title in the same way as you can change the font and style of regular text. You can draw the title in a graphics editor and simply paste it into Word as an image. Method 3 of 3: Filling with Content
Columns.

Word can automatically create columns to format the content you add. However, you have several options here. To access column creation, go to the Page Layout > Page Setup > Columns tab.

• Set the number of columns you want to see.
• By clicking on More Columns you will have access to creating custom columns. Place the cursor where you want to make a change to the column, go to More Columns > This point forward and click Apply to. Everything above the cursor will not change, everything below will change.
• It will be useful to take into account how the article will look with a given column length. Believe me, working on speaker parameters is a difficult moment.

IPictures. Through the Insert tab, open the folder with pictures, select the ones you need and insert them. The text editor will insert the image where the cursor is. Then the Format tab will open.

You can move the image and change its size with the mouse. You can change the way the text wraps the image using the Arrange > Text Wrapping menu. To freely move the image around the page, click on the Position button in the Arrange menu. Select any option in the With Text Wrapping section. This will unlock the image and allow you to move it wherever you want.

Captions for pictures. In Word, you can add a caption to any image inserted into your document. Everything is simple here - right click on the image, Insert Caption option. In the window that opens, you will need to enter the signature text itself.

Checking the Exclude Label field will prevent the editor from printing a general label before your signature. You can change the font and style of your signature in the same way as you can change the fonts and styles of all other texts.

Side stripes. You can add them (and more) using the Insert > Text Box menu. The text editor will offer several styles to choose from, although you can always draw your own by selecting the Draw Text Box option from the bottom of the menu.

Text fields can be moved and enlarged/reduced.

Font and style. So, you have the contents of the newspaper. Why not play with styles now? You understand, the more convenient it is to read the newspaper, the better! Good font choice is much more important than you might think!

Experiment with headlines until you find the best combination of size and look. Make sure the newspaper is consistent in appearance. Yes, the templates may change slightly from section to section, but the general aspects (font, font size, etc.) should remain the same.

Decide on your colors. Traditional newspapers use color sparingly for both dramatic effect and for economic reasons. Color printing is significantly more expensive than black-and-white printing. Decide what elements of your paper, if any, necessitate the use of color.

However, if you distribute the newspaper in digital format, do not deny yourself anything, but also know when to stop.

Two-sided printing. To make everything look like a real newspaper, you need to print on both sides of the sheet! here you need to go into the printer settings and check if it can do this.

Final edit. At the final editing stage, you should find all the errors and typos that managed to hide from you until this very moment. And in general - find and fix all problems. Check everything, because the quality of your publication will directly depend on how well you check everything!

• To make your newspaper look completely newspaper-like, choose one of those fonts that are often used in popular newspapers. Finding such fonts on thematic websites will not be a problem.
• Newspaper style templates are good. Some sites even offer everyone the opportunity to download templates for text editors, with which you can create newspapers... or something very similar to them. Using these templates can save you a lot of time.

Every schoolchild can type simple text in Word, but sometimes it is necessary to divide the text into columns . You may need to create a school newspaper or want to publish your own booklets or flyers. It doesn't matter what exactly. The important thing is that this is done very easily and quickly in Word 2010. We have already learned how to create a brochure.

Now let's try to create text in several columns or, as they are also called in newspaper columns.

How to split text into columns

Select the entire text (or part of the document) that you need to divide into columns and click on the menu - Page layout- on the button – Speakers-, and select the required number of columns. For example, I chose three columns.

Here's what I got.

As you understand, in this way you can create any number of columns available to the program. Everything is done fully automatically. You can also place charts, tables, and graphic objects here. Try and improve.

Dividing into columns occurs in the same way.
