How to make stamp in MS word

Rubber stamps are an essential tool for many businesses, especially those that deal with paperwork on a regular basis. They can be used to endorse documents, add dates, and even serve as a signature. While there are many rubber stamp makers available, you can also create your own rubber stamp using Microsoft Word. In this blog post, we will go over the steps on how to make a rubber stamp in MS Word.

Step 1: Open a new document
Open a new document in MS Word. This document will be the template for your rubber stamp. Select “Page Layout” from the top menu and then click on “Size.” From the drop-down menu, select “Custom Size” and input the dimensions of your rubber stamp. Typical dimensions for a rubber stamp are 1″ x 1″ or 1.5″ x 1.5″.

Step 2: Insert a square shape
Next, insert a square shape by selecting “Insert” from the top menu, then “Shapes.” From the Shapes menu, choose a square. Click and drag the square to fit within the dimensions of your rubber stamp.

Step 3: Add text
Click on the square shape to select it, and then add the text you want on your rubber stamp. This can include your company name, address, phone number, or any other information you want to include.

Step 4: Choose font and size
Select the text you just added and then choose the font and size you want. A common font for rubber stamps is Arial or Times New Roman, and a font size of 12-16 pt is typically used.

Step 5: Format the text
With the text still selected, click on “Home” from the top menu and then choose “Font.” From there, you can format the text to your liking. This can include bolding the text, making it italic, or changing the color.

Step 6: Save as image
Once you are happy with the design of your rubber stamp, save the document as an image. To do this, select “File” from the top menu, then choose “Save As.” From the “Save As” menu, select “PNG” or “JPEG” as the file format.

Step 7: Print and use
Finally, print the image on a sheet of sticker paper or adhesive-backed rubber stamp material. Cut out the image, and then affix it to a piece of foam or other cushioning material. You can then use your new rubber stamp as needed.
