In other articles we have already mentioned how useful it is to work with this editor. As it has spatial options and attributes to create, edit and make any project you can think of, like a photo collage. But before we start explaining how to make or create a page in Word, let's see what a page is and its characteristics.
What is a page and its characteristics
To explain in a general way, one page it is a sheet of specific dimensions and which is widely used when making biographies, essays or theses. Where only a few sheets are needed, in some cases two or even a single sheet. When a page is created, a specific format is usually used, which we will detail below.
There are many aspects or characteristics that we need to take into account when we want create a page in Word. First of all the margins, which must have specific dimensions, those on the right and left sides must be kept between 2 cm and 2,5 cm. And the top and bottom margins should be between 2,5 and 3cm.
Another feature they must have is in terms of the number of words, which must be kept between 200 and 250. Where their characters including punctuation, numbers and words can be kept between 1700.
Another important aspect is the lines, which can be between 20 and 25 lines or lines and keep a space between the lines of double space by space and a half.
Last but not least is the use of a specific font when we create pages in Word. In general, it is very common to use the font known as Times New Roman and with a size of 12 points, but Arial is also starting to be used more frequently.
We must keep in mind that some aspects are for reference only, as it will depend on your area of study.
How to create or create a page in Word
When we create a page in Word, it is very important to configure some options that will give us the desired look to our work or project. First let's go to the Word text editor and open a blank document.
Let's put the text we want on our sheet, then justify it, now let's go to Format to configure the options for margin, font, spaces, etc.
First of all we will go to configure the paper options, previously we used the A5 format as standard size for making pages. But currently that measure has been discontinued and the use of A4 has been implemented, but due to the rise of the Letter format it is now more common to use this format, but it is possible to use either.
After selecting the paper size, let's move on to another point, which are the margins, which you will find next to the letter tab. We can enter the values that we explained earlier, then we choose the orientation of the sheet that will be Vertical, then we make a clip on the Apply option in the whole document and finally OK.
Then we change the font, the size and we use the ones we explained before but we suggest to use Arial and the size 12. This is because it is not so tiring for the eyes and it is more readable, then we go to justify the whole document. The titles must be of the same font and a larger size which is 14.
To finish of create a page in Word, let's write the header, you can do it by going to insert and select header. You can also enter the page number using the same entry form.
