How to Save time by using Word 2007's built-in cover pages

Prior to Word 2007, you had to manually set section breaks at the top of your document before you could create a cover page with a different page format from the rest of your document. With Word 2007's built-in cover pages, the section breaks are already formatted for you. Follow these steps to add one of the built-in cover pages to your document:

1. Click the Insert tab.

2. Click the Cover Page button.

3. Scroll to and click Sideline.

4. Select the Title field and add your own title.

5. Click to select the Subtitle field and add your own subtitle.

6. Click the list arrow on the Date field and select the date from the calendar.

7. Click anywhere in page two of your document.

8. On the Insert ribbon, click the Page Number button.

9. Point to Bottom Of Page and click Plain Number 3.

10. Click the Page Number button on the Design ribbon.

11. Click Format Page Numbers.

12. Click in the Start At text box and change the 1 to 0. Click OK.

13. On the Design ribbon, click the Close Header And Footer button.

Note: This feature is not supported in Word 2007 Compatibility Mode documents.
