Adding tear-offs to an advertisement flyer is an economical way to get your company contact information into the hands of potential customers who may not have a pen and paper handy at the time they read your message. You can insert several of these at the bottom of a Word document to make it simple and convenient for multiple interested customers to contact you.

Step 1

Open the document to which you’d like to add the tear-offs.

Step 2

Click “Insert” in the menu bar and click the “Text Box” drop-down menu.

Step 3

Choose “Simple Text Box” from the list of built-in templates. A horizontally-aligned text box will appear on the page with sample text.

Step 4

Click once inside the text box and press the “Backspace” key to remove the sample text.

Step 5

Merge

Enter the desired text in the box, and rotate it vertically by clicking the green circle above the text box’s border and dragging it to the left until you’re satisfied with the orientation.

Step 6

Click anywhere on the text box border and drag the box to the desired location on the page (usually the bottom). If you want to get rid of the text box border outline, right-click on the border and click “Format Shape | Line Color | No Line | Close.”

Tip

  • By default, Microsoft Word inserts a 10-point space after each carriage return, so if you’re entering multi-line information (for example, your name and phone number), you might find it helpful to remove this spacing to keep the size of the tear-offs manageable. After entering your text, highlight it using your mouse, right-click on it, select “Paragraph” and change the value in the “After” field under “Spacing” to zero.
  • Word also “fills” each text box with white by default. If your document contains text or images above the tear-offs, this fill might block the content. To clear this fill, right-click on the text box border (or where the border used to be), and click “Format Shape | Fill | No Fill | Close.”

You can have Word align objects—such as pictures, shapes, SmartArt, and charts—in relation to the edges of the page, the margins, or other objects.

Align a picture, shape, text box, SmartArt graphic, or WordArt

  1. Select the objects to align.

    To select multiple objects, select the first object, and then press and hold CTRL while you select the other objects.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • To align a picture, select Picture Format or Picture Tools > Format.

    • To align a shape, text box, or WordArt, select Shape Format or Drawing Tools > Format.

  3. In the Arrange group, select Align

  4. Choose of the following:

    Important: If Align options are unavailable, you may only have a single item selected.

    • Align Left To align the edges of the objects to the left.

    • Align Center To align the objects vertically through their centers.

    • Align Right To align the edges of the objects to the right.

    • Align Top To align the top edges of the objects.

    • Align Middle To align the objects horizontally through their middles.

    • Align Bottom To align the bottom edges of the objects.

      Notes:

      • When you align objects relative to each other by their edges, one of the objects remains stationary.

      • Align Middle aligns objects horizontally through the middles of the objects and Align Center aligns objects vertically through the centers of the objects. When you align objects relative to each other by their middles or centers, the objects are aligned along a horizontal or vertical line that represents the average of their original positions. No object necessarily remains stationary, and all of the objects might move.

      • Depending on the alignment option, objects might cover another object. If this happens, undo the alignment and move the objects to new positions before aligning again.

Word can align objects to the left, center, right, top, middle, and bottom. You select whether you want those positions to be relative to the page, the margins, or other objects.

To change it, Control + Click the object, point to Wrap Text, and then pick something other than In Line with Text. To learn more about text wrapping, see Control text wrapping around objects.
