How to Add a Banner to a Word Document

1. Open the document in Microsoft Word.
2. Click the 'Insert' tab from the main menu. This would reveal number of object groups that can be added to the document such as tables, illustrations, links, text and symbols.
3. Select to insert a header to the document. 'Header' button is located within 'Header & Footer' object group in Microsoft Word 2007.
4. Click within the inserted header section (or the location where the banner needs to be added) and click on 'Insert' and then 'Picture'. This will pop up a browser box in order to select the images for insertion. Select and insert the banner image that was prepared for the Word document.
5. Stretch, skew and rotate the image as appropriate. The image does not always have to fill up the total width. It may be a combination of text and image, in this case add a text box adjacent to the image as required.
6. Insert a text box instead of an image, if the banner is text-only. Use WordArt in Microsoft Word for visually formatted text.
