How many countless hours have you spent creating a cover page using Microsoft Word? When I started working I used to spend a good deal of time creating the perfect heading, adjusting its alignment and location on the page. I would include a subtitle, author details, an image and a nice page border. It was time-consuming.

If you are still creating cover pages manually, let me save you a considerable amount of time and show you how to use the Cover Page feature in Microsoft Word. You will be creating professional-looking cover pages with your own customised text in under 60 seconds.

Microsoft Word includes numerous cover page designs which are pre-defined templates, displayed in a gallery. These designs provide areas for text, dates and images that you can customise to suit your own needs. You can also access more designs from Office.com, or create your own custom design to save for use in the future.

Date formats

Cover Page Design In Word

A common issue I see when using cover pages is that the automatic date fields are formatted in US date formats. Because I am located in Australia and for my readers who also prefer UK formatting I thought I would show you how to change this setting so that you can choose the format the date will be displayed in. You can even change it from 30/08/2018 to 30-Aug-2018 if preferred.
