NOTE: Once you save the Word document you cannot delete the built-in sidebar since it is not really a part of the Word document but it is a “standalone supplement” to it.
Go to the page in your document that will contain the sidebar. Please note that Word 2011 for Mac does not have these options available. These versions of Word have several nice text boxes that are formatted as sidebars. Play with it until you feel like you’ve got the right look. Adding page layout to documents in Microsoft Word 2007 and MS Word 2010 will add style and flair. The sky is the limit to give the SIDEBAR exactly the look you like. (7) Turn off your gridlines and here is your new and improved document: (6) Enter your text both into the SIDEBAR and also the regular body text area on the right. (5) Change the background color, perspective, and other graphic features of your SIDEBAR text box by trying out many alternatives offered by MS Word’s formatting buttons and drop0-down menus: (4) Pull the top and bottom of the text bar to make sure it fits the top and bottom of the grid: (3) Click and select ALPHABET SIDEBAR text box (my personal preference) or any other sidebar text box you like.
(2) Go to the INSERT tab and select TEXT BOX to display the pre-set text box designs: This will help you align the SIDEBAR more easily. OPTIONAL STEP: Turn on your gridlines by selecting the GRIDLINES check-box in the VIEW tab. MS Word comes with a number of impressive page layout features that perhaps you generally don’t expect from Word since it’s not known as a “page layout application” (like InDesign, QuarkXpress, or PageMaker). Did you know how easy it is to add a very stylish text sidebar box to your MS Word business or technical document?
