HTML Preview Monopoly Game Board page number 1.
Creating a Game Board in Microsoft Word
1) Open Microsoft Word. To create a game
board, you will probably want to use more space
on the page than is allowed by the standard
margin settings. Therefore, the first thing you
need to do is change the margins.
2) Pull down the File menu and click on Page
Setup.
3) Notice that the Margins tab is in front and that
the number in the Top margin box is highlighted.
Simply type your new margin over it. We'll use a 1/2
inch margin, so type .5 in the Top margin box.
4) Change each margin to .5 inches. (You can just
hit the Tab key to go to the next box.)
5) Before you click OK, while you're in the Page
Setup window, decide whether you want your game
board to appear vertically or horizontally on the
page. If you want it to appear horizontally, click on
the Landscape button. When you've finished, click
OK.
7) You'll be using a table to create your game board. Whenever you are working with
tables, it's a good idea to start your table on the second line of the page. That way,
you can always go back and add text or graphics above the table if you need to. So
before we make the table, hit the Enter key once.
8) Now pull down the Table menu and click on Insert
Table.
9) For Number of columns, put 8. For Number of rows, put 5. Click OK.
