SUMMARY
Word 6.0/6.0a provides an Award Wizard for the creation of an award certificate. The wizard does not prompt you to modify character formatting such as font, point size, and so forth. This article describes how you can use the Award Wizard to create your own custom Award Wizard.

NOTE: Microsoft does not support the modification of its wizards or templates. Modifications done by the user are at the user's risk and constitute no obligations or warranties, either written or expressed, by Microsoft.

From the List Files Of Type list, select All Files (*.*), select the Award Wizard and choose the OK button. From the File menu, choose Save As and type a new name for the Wizard. Any formatting changes you make will now be stored in your new Wizard. Modify the page orientation for the award style you plan to use. (From the File menu, choose PageSetup.

Select the desired AutoText entry, and choose the Insert button. Note which AutoText entry you have selected.  From the View menu, choose Page Layout. Note: Each AutoText entry contains both drawing objects and text boxes. These drawing objects are visible only in Page Layout view or Print Preview.

NOTE: Do not delete any of the bookmarks. If these are deleted, the wizard may not function properly. Highlight the text or table cell in which you want to make changes (be sure the end-of-cell marker or paragraph mark is also selected). Make your formatting changes, such as changing the font or point size, adding bold or italics, and so forth. When finished, deselect the area by clicking in the margin of the document. From the Edit menu, choose AutoText. Select the AutoText entry that you previously selected in step 3. Choose the Delete button to delete the old AutoText entry. Choose the Close button to return to the document. Choose the Drawing button on the Standard Toolbar to activate the Drawing Toolbar.</li> Choose the Select Drawing Objects button on the Drawing Toolbar. Starting in the upper left corner of the template, click and drag down and to the right bottom corner to enclose the entire document area. A dashed line appears as you are dragging to enclose the objects.</li> From the Edit menu, choose AutoText. In the AutoText dialog box, type the AutoText name using the same name as the deleted AutoText entry from step 7. From the "Make AutoText Entry Available To" list, choose Documents Based On the. Choose the Add button to return to the document.</li> With the document still selected, choose Cut from the Edit menu. You should now have a blank page with a single paragraph mark at the top left of the page. If you have any text or more than a single paragraph mark, delete these items. Choose Save from the File menu and then close the template.</li></ol>

Now you can use the Award Wizard with the style changes you made by choosing New from the File menu, selecting Award Wizard from the Template list, and choosing OK.
