Images - Photos and graphics are an essential piece of newspaper design.
They break up large swaths of text and help provide context for stories. Headlines - The headline is the first thing the reader will see before deciding whether or not the story is worth their time. Account for printer size. Unless you have access to an industrial-sized printer, your document won't be able to be more than the 8. This is the default page size setting for Microsoft Word on most computers. Plan your layout before beginning. Take a few sheets of scratch paper and sketch out a few different designs.
Design different pages. The front page will look significantly differently than inside pages, and different sections will have slightly different styles. Draw lines to see how columns will affect the flow of your paper.
Too many columns will make your text too crowded, while too few columns will lead to your stories appearing blocky. Try placing text blocks in different places on your scratch page. Experiment with headline placement. Part 2. Open Microsoft Word. Double-click the Word program icon, which resembles a white "W" on a dark-blue background. Click Blank document.

This option is at the bottom of the Columns drop-down menu. A window will appear with additional options. Select a column number. For example, click Two at the top of the window to divide your paper into two columns.
You can also change the number in the "Number of columns" box to your preferred number of columns. Click the "Apply to" drop-down box. It's in the lower-left side of the window. Click This point forward. This option is in the drop-down menu. Doing so will apply your columns to your document with the exception of your title. Click OK. This will split your Word document into two or more columns depending on how many you chose.

Draw text boxes on your document to recreate the layout you sketched out on paper. Select all the text boxes, click "Shape Outline," and then select "No Outline" to remove their borders. If your layout includes any images, insert and position them as you normally would.
Type or paste your paper's text into the layout. To connect the text boxes serving as your newspaper's columns, click inside the first text box, click "Create Link," and then click the second text box. Repeat this process with the remaining text boxes to ensure the text of each article flows correctly between them. Change the font face and size of each part of your paper to suit your needs. Article text is almost always typeset in a serif font such as Times New Roman, while headlines may use either a serif font or a sans-serif one such as Impact.
