Word: Insert cover page - how to do it

To add a cover page to your documents in Word, you can use one of many templates that come pre-installed in Word. If you would rather have a custom cover page, insert a blank cover page and design it as you wish.

How to use a predefined cover page in Word

If you need a cover page for your created document, you have the option in Word to use a predefined cover page. To use one of them, please click on the "Insert" tab and look for the "Cover Page" entry in the "Pages" section.

1. Click on the displayed arrow next to the entry to open the drop-down menu and select one of the available cover pages.
2. Alternatively, you can also click on "More Cover Pages from Office.com" here to download additional cover pages.
3. Once you have inserted a cover page, you can delete the sample text contained there and replace it with your own information.
4. If you would like to save the cover page to use it again later, please select it, go to "Insert" > "Cover Page" in the menu and click "Save selection in cover page catalog".

Word: How to insert a blank cover page

If you do not want to use a predefined cover page for your document, you can also insert a blank cover page and format it individually. To insert a blank cover page, please click with the mouse first at the place in your document where you want to insert the cover page. Then navigate to "Insert" > "Pages" > "Blank page" in the menu bar to insert a blank page. Now add the title, author, or other text to the page, set the text alignment, and make any other changes.
