Very often, schoolchildren, students, and, sometimes, teachers themselves are faced with how to correctly prepare a particular document for examination. Most often, these are small original works on some scientific topic, samples and examples of which can be downloaded from various sources. There are often cases when, after receiving an assignment, a student cannot clearly imagine where to start the work and how to format it correctly.
Almost everyone faces this question. It’s not enough to write correctly, you also need to correctly draw up the document in accordance with GOST. The student begins to get nervous, choosing the right options for himself in search of the right answer, and therefore loses precious time allotted for writing the work. Even after writing a work, hoping that he wrote it “excellently,” he understands perfectly well that a lot depends on how correctly the title page is designed.
Rules and requirements
The main requirements for the correct design of the title page of the work lie in the basic document samples, that is standards defined in GOST 7.32–2001. In this regard, before proceeding with registration, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with them in detail, having correctly studied the detailed instructions.
You can find out how to properly format the title page of an essay, college, or university on the Internet. You can also download examples for college students. Almost always the sample turns out to be correct, but nevertheless, information on the design of the title page of an abstract according to GOST can only be found from official GOST documents intended for students to write scientific papers.
Fundamental Points
One of the main parts of the abstract is its content. The author is obliged to format his work so competently that all the information he wants to convey is clear and understandable, clearly structured and presented in the right style. It is advisable to create good subheadings and section titles that clearly express the purpose of a particular topic.
Title page of the abstract according to GOST
For example, the student needs to write the topic of the chapter. After this, you must indicate the paragraph and page number; in other options, you can use subheadings.
If there are more chapters, enter their names; if there are none, write subheadings. After which you should make a description, that is bibliography and conclusion. If you need to write a summary, you should remove all subheadings from the text.
The above concerned the structure of the abstract, but it is still worth returning to the main topic of the article - this is the design. According to established standards, it is possible to describe the correct location of all details on it.
Title page design
- Top center The full name of the educational institution and the name of the department, faculty are located. The phrase “Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation” is also written here, which can sometimes be excluded when creating the title page.
- In the central part or just below the type of title of the work is indicated (report, abstract, project, message). But the name of the discipline is also indicated. You can write the title using quotation marks.
- On the right side - author and scientific director. This block should be located 7-9 spaces below the topic of the abstract.
- At the very bottom in the central part There is a block with the name of the city and the year the work was performed.
How to add a page to Word. For some this is not a problem, but for others it is a real disaster. Even if you have been familiar with the Word text editor for a long time, this does not mean that you know everything about it. I can’t say the same about myself either. You should always learn, and don’t be shy about it. It is not the one who studies who is stupid, but the one who thinks that he knows everything! I do not write my articles to teach you. I never had such intentions. I'm just sharing my experience in a friendly manner. And I really want you to write in the comments about your secrets of working with text editors or various developments in the field of computer programs. Only in this way can the truth be known.
Today we will talk about how to quickly and painlessly add a new blank page to a document, and how to create a title page or cover page in Word 2010. Since the text editor Word 2010 and Word 2007 are similar, I will describe the sequence of actions on only one of them , i.e. Word 2010.
In order to add a page to Word, you need to do the following:
- Place the cursor where you want to insert a new page;
- Select a team Empty page on the tab Insert in Group Pages ;
The new page will appear above the cursor you placed on the previous page.
How to insert a title page or cover intoWord
Word 2010 comes with ready-made title page and cover page templates. All you have to do is select, paste it, and replace the finished example text with your own.
- You can place the cursor anywhere, the title page will still be at the beginning of the document.
- Select a team Front page on the tab Insert in Group Pages .
3. From the drop-down window, select the title page cover you like and left-click on it.
4. If necessary, replace the text of the new title page with your own.
Note:
If you already had a cover page before, then when you select a new one, it will be replaced with a new one.
If your cover page was created in an earlier version, you will not be able to replace it. You must first remove the old one.
I think now you can quickly create a cover or title page in the Word text editor.

Hello, I encountered such a problem on the school’s official website, created on the basis of Ucoz, I need to insert a document in Word format, but the first page in this document must be scanned. When I start adding material, the first page (where the sheet should be with signature and seal) is blank, followed by the text as expected. What do I need to do so that the first page does not disappear? I have a scanned page in picture format. Help, please. I really hope for your help. Thanks in advance.
Good evening, Anzhey! This problem is familiar to me, I also once tried to make a title page with a frame, and nothing worked either. Apparently the developers decided that there should be no more decorations on the title page. So you will have to change the design of the book a little. There is one interesting option - to make a book in Power Point. There are more opportunities there, and the book will be colorful and interesting.
Good evening, Lyudmila! Help me please, I just can’t insert a title page at the beginning of a Word document. I have Word 2013 installed, I read your lesson about inserting titles, I do everything as indicated, but it doesn’t work. The fact is that my title page is edged with a frame, and when I copy and save the sample to the collection of title pages in the “Title Page” section on the “Insert” tab, only the title page text itself is copied, without a frame. I do it differently, through the “Page Break” - a sheet with a frame appears, without text. In both cases, they are not copied to the Word collection of title pages; apparently they are perceived as a drawing or something else. I tried a lot of options, but nothing works. All hope is only for you. Sincerely,
When writing a creative or scientific project, there are strict rules for the design of the title page: you must indicate your scientific consultant, the name of the educational institution, the year the work was submitted and the full name. You will learn in this article exactly how to place this data on a sheet and what fonts to use.
Start writing the title page: go to Microsoft Office Word or a program more convenient for you, and set the font to Times New Roman, size 16. Mark the center alignment of the text.Write the full name of your educational institution; you can inquire about it on the Internet or in advance from your academic advisor.
You should make a page layout that complies with the design rules. Go to the “Page Layout” tab in the program header and select the “Margins” box. At the very bottom of the list you will see the line “Custom Fields”.
- Align top and bottom by 15 mm.
- Right 10 mm.
- Left 20 mm.
This way your project will look neatest, and in the future you will have the opportunity to stitch it along the left side.
Change the font to 16 and set the alignment to right. Write your name after the words “Author:”, and the name of the scientific consultant after “Consultant:”. Be sure to include a colon and bold these words.
Names are indicated with initials.
Check with your consultant in advance to determine exactly how to record their role in your work. If the teacher gave you advice and guidance throughout the work on the project, then, most often, he fits in as a consultant. In serious and voluminous works for scientific conferences, the teacher can be recorded as “Research Fellow” if he was directly involved in writing the work.
You can see slightly different design options in the short video below:
When a student is preparing a coursework for delivery, one of the most pressing problems that he may encounter is the design of the title page, which, in most cases, is due to ignorance of the general educational GOST, which establishes the basic requirements for the appearance and content of the title page. Another equally important reason is the inability to use a text editor - MS Word.
Therefore, today I will give a number of tips on how to design a title page, I will try to highlight the main mistakes that students make and I will attach several samples that are relevant in 2017-2018.
Design of the title page of coursework according to GOST
First of all, I would like to briefly explain why, when preparing student projects, it is necessary to adhere to any requirements and standards.
A student is a future specialist who will work with drawings, estimates, contracts, acts, regulatory documents and other types of documentation.
Each of these documents has its own form adopted by the state. In order to develop in a future specialist the ability to correctly interact with standardized documents, each alma mater teaches cadets to format their educational works in accordance with an established set of requirements. Due to this, a graduate, trained by coursework and semester papers, reports, etc., when entering a real work environment, can already independently process documents, generate and correct them. Perhaps this is the main reason for the use of GOST by students of modern universities and colleges.
I've gone off topic, so I'll continue.
The need to design a title page in accordance with GOST is due to the fact that since the title page is the “cover” of the document, this is precisely the element that is primarily seen by the supervisor and the examination committee and by which the first impression of this scientific work is created. Imagine that you are given a term paper, the first page of which is not clearly designed (for a better understanding, look at the figure below).
Figure 1 – Example of incorrect design of the coursework title page
What do you see here? Different fonts, no clear identification of the main elements (header, author's name, topic) and other problems, right? Now think about it, would you accept such a document from your student? So, most teachers, having seen only the title page, “wrap up” the student, even if he has prepared an ideal paper as a whole. Therefore, my advice to you is to always adhere to GOST and do not ignore its requirements.
Where to get requirements for the title page
You can always get all the requirements that may be required when completing a course project from your teacher; usually, all the manuals are provided to them immediately before issuing an individual assignment for the course work. If your teacher has not done this himself, ask him - he must give it. Well, if he doesn’t have it either, then go to the pulpit.
In the received manual you will find not only a set of requirements for the design of the title page of the coursework, but you can also find a sample that can be used by copying into your project. If you copy, do not forget to adjust it according to your data.
From my experience, I will offer you my set of requirements, which I use to design title pages, but whether you use them in your practice is up to you to decide.
- Inclusion in the general numbering is mandatory. But under no circumstances should you put a number on it.
- We center the header on the sheet, in it we indicate the name of your educational institution and the name of the department;
- We write the title of the work in capital letters, highlight it in bold, center it on the page (horizontally and vertically);
- After the name, indicate your name, group number, as well as information about your leader, indicating his position;
- At the bottom of the page, indicate your city and the year the work was performed;
- To highlight structural elements, do not use spaces and tabs - use MS Word tools to align text;
- If you need to create a frame, use headers and footers and divide the entire document into separate sections so that the frame does not extend to the next pages of the work;
- Always use Times New Roman font unless otherwise stated in the manual.
To consolidate the knowledge gained, next I will tell you how to use it in practice.
How to make a title page in Word 2010 and 2007
To prepare the main sheet of your document in the MS Word 2007, 2010 and later versions, let's create a new document (I hope you know how to do this). Now we fill out the empty document with the information that you want to reflect here. To begin with, you can fill the document with information without any formatting; we will do that later.
So you should end up with something like this:
Figure 2 – Example of a title page without formatting
Happened? - Well done! Let's continue. Format the document header - select the text and select " Center text alignment" on the panel " Paragraph", we get the following result:
Figure 3 – Example of title header design
Now let's move on to the title of the work - center it in the middle of the sheet and move it down by pressing the " Enter", then open the font control panel and configure the parameters, we get:
Figure 4 – Example of title design
Figure 5 – Example of a correctly designed title page
How to make a title page frame in Word
I hear this question very often from students. To begin with, I want to clarify that there are several types of frames for title pages - these can be GOST frames for making entries in them, or there can be ordinary bounding lines. The first option is done using headers and footers, but I don’t recommend doing them yourself - this is a rather lengthy process and can negatively affect the structure of the entire document, so it’s better to download it:
The second option is much simpler and is done using the MS Word tool - “ Borders and Shading", which is located on the toolbar " Paragraph" The following window will open:
Figure 6 – Borders and shading
Now in this window you need to open the “ Page» indicate the places where the borders of the frame will be placed on the title page - top, bottom, right, left. Also, if necessary, here you can set the thickness and texture of the frame. Then click “ OK", as a result, the title page of the document will be framed in a regular frame:
Figure 7 – Sample title page in frame
Where to find a sample title page for a term paper
The above sample design for the title page is rather a generalized version and it is not always suitable for practical use, since in some cases the requirements of the manual establish other design rules. During my practice, I have seen more than 20 ways to design a title page only for course projects, and how many more can be found for essays, diplomas and other student reporting documents. Different types of title cards differ in the frames, fonts used, location and presence of certain structural elements, etc.
Finding ready-made templates for the title page is not as difficult as it seems. Many manuals already contain a sample title page in the appendix, others contain a link to the place where you can get a sample. You can also get it from your academic teacher, department, download it on the Internet, take it from a manual on another subject, ask a friend, find it in last year’s papers, etc. You can download several samples from the links below:
And finally. The last piece of advice is to make the title page last and preferably in a separate document, so that its formatting features do not accidentally interfere with the design of the main content of the course work.
That's all, good luck with your studies!
When creating a new document using the Word text editor, sheets are generated automatically as you type. Unbeknownst to the user, the program adds a break at the end of each sheet. Later, when editing text, sometimes it becomes necessary to add a sheet in an arbitrary place in the document. It can be implemented in several ways.
Inserting a regular page
Inserting a blank sheet
The “Page Break” service sign that appears will continue to the end of the current sheet and completely cover the next empty sheet that appears. Thus, the paragraph of text located below the cursor will be moved from the first to the beginning of the third sheet.
Not often, but it happens that you need to add a landscape page to the regular book pages. This can be done after typing the text on a blank sheet of paper. Sequencing:
As you can see in the following screenshot, the sheet with the selected text has taken on landscape orientation.
- Repeat pp. 1 and 2.
- In the Pages group, click the Page Break tool. An alternative option is the hotkey combination Ctrl+Enter.
After these actions, the visual picture of the first sheet will not change. However, when you scroll down the document, the bottom paragraph will appear at the beginning of its second sheet. As you would expect, in this case no empty sheet is added. Obviously, the user is free to choose the option that suits him best.
The considered algorithm is used in all cases when you need to add a blank page to a document in MS Word. Add a page at the beginning before the text, before a page, between pages, insert above or below - all these options are determined by the initial position of the cursor.
In the “Pages” group of the “Insert” tab there is another tool – “Cover Page”. In its built-in list, the user can select title page to your document. It can be with or without a frame.
Unlike the previous case, the initial cursor position does not matter. The title page is always inserted at the beginning of the document before the first line.
As can be seen from the above, adding a regular or title page in Word 2010 is not difficult.
