Print on Sticky Notes in MS Word
Technology for Classroom Teachers By Marilyn Western
Open a New document (File, New or Ctrl N) Select the Text Box tool from the Drawing Toolbar. Drag a text box on your page. Make it a bit larger than your sticky note.
Type your message. You can change the font, size, style, etc. Add clip art by clicking on Insert, Picture, Clip Art. Move & size it if needed.
Select this box (click on the border) and copy it (Edit, Copy or Ctrl C). Paste it (Edit, Paste or Ctrl V). Move it next to the original box. Paste again, and move the box below. Continue until you have the page filled with boxes (you can fit 6 on a page – see below).
Print on a regular sheet of paper. Place your sticky note within the box on your printed sheet. Put the paper back in the printer & print once again.
Ta Da!
Notes:
• Be sure your sticky notes are all ‘pointing’ in the same direction (all the ‘stickies’ are at the ‘top’ of the paper). Putting the stickies into the printer with the non-stick edges leading will result in a jammed printer.
• Experiment to see how to put your paper into the printer so it prints on the same side as the 1st printing. Each printer is different. Make a note of how your printer works (e.g. face up, top edge in first).
• Try this with fancy note pad paper. You can lightly tape the top of the notes on the page, or use a ‘sticky note’ glue stick.
• Use for:
o notes you write often (See me before you go out for recess)
o locker, folder, or desk nametags
o reminders to leave on computers (Remember to SAVE!)
o field trip name tags
