First of all, to start creating a certificate or diploma in Word, you need to open your Word. It doesn't matter what year it is, as in any version you have all the necessary tools. Once done, you have to select a completely blank sheet and go to the format part and we will configure the page, for this we get the option with a mini arrow.

Our Customers they snap there and we will modify all the margins equally (2 and 2) and we will put the sheet horizontally, since that would be the correct way to a diploma. And so we would have ready the sheet where we will do our work.

Having all this, the first thing we're going to do is insert a background image and double-click on it. We need to change the position so that in the »Fit to text» part you will place »Behind text» and you can fit it to the background.

The name of the person who will receive it is in an elegant font such as »Edwardian Script ITC» and continues the other letters with the previous font. At the end of everything it is written the reason why this diploma was awarded, an example could be "Certificate of bioanalysis"
