Microsoft Office Word…..?
Is there a template for microsoft word that makes it look like lined notebook paper?
If you’re using Word 2007, there appears to be a stationery page built in:
1.Click the round Office button in the window’s upper-left corner.
2.Click New.
3.Scroll down and click Stationery.
4.Click Specialty Paper.
5.Way down at the bottom of the Stationery list there’s a College-Ruled stationery that might work for you.
On the other hand, if you’re using a version of Word earlier than Word 2007 and you have, or have access to, a scanner, you could try this:
1.Scan in a clean page of notebook paper and save the image.
2.In Word, click the Format->Background->Printed Watermark menu item.
3.Click the Pictures radio button.
4.Click the Select Picture button.
5.Find and select your scanned notebook page.
6.Click Close.
You may have to play with the watermark options to get things just right. but this should work. Notice also that you’ll have to adjust the inter-line spacing to fit the ruled lines.
Also, be sure to set Drawing Objects to print this way:
1.Click the Tools->Options menu item.
2.Click the Print Tab.
3.Under Include with Document, check the checkbox for Drawing Objects.
4.Click OK.
You could just use this document as it is, OR, you could make it a document template so you can use it whenever you want to, here’s how:
1.Click on the File->Save As menu item.
2.Give the file a name.
3.In the Save as Type list box, select Document Template. The directory should automatically change to where your other templates are and the file type should change to .dot
4.Click OK.
Now whenever you want to use a copy of your notebook paper,
1.Click the File->New menu item
2.Click the General Templates item on the sidebar.
3.Select your template and create a new document from it.
Hope that helps.
