Word from layout

Contact me if you have a similar task.

Companies design Word templates to prepare their letters, but also to prepare other text documents. In the present case, the goal is the uniform and efficient design of a regular newsletter.

Using Word templates ensures the uniform appearance of a company's corporate identity. It also supports users with routine processes that are automated using Visual Basic (VBA). Examples:

• Inserting an address from a database or from an online directory.
• Language-dependent preparation of the text: introductory formulas, date, signature.
• Consistent image editing and positioning.

In the present case, the layout specifications of the graphic designer were implemented with pinpoint accuracy:

• Page margins, headers and footers.
• Font sizes of titles, body text, captions, authorship.
• Text colors and font styles.

At the same time, certain processes were automated:

• Image cropping and positioning.
• Controlled insertion of texts from other sources.
• Creating a table of contents far beyond the standard options of MS Word.
