By using these tools such as brochures, news releases, and newsletters, the public has an opportunity to learn more about your services and to become aware of water quality issues. Through other pieces such as business cards, letterhead, and merchandise, each system has the opportunity to create a cohesive appearance that is easily recognized in the community and makes published materials unique in the media. Each tool was created in Microsoft Word so that small water system managers and workers can easily master the creation of a media piece. Each Word document is a template with text boxes and example graphics to give you a feel for the document design. However, all graphics can be replaced. Each text box is pre-formatted with the designated font type and size. However, these are just templates that can be manipulated to suit each system. Feel free to change the font, as well as the colors or graphics, so the piece becomes tailored to your system. After completing a piece, simply save the changes with a file name as a Word document either to your computer or zip disk. The templates are saved on CD so that they remain intact as templates that cannot be altered, but used again and again for each media opportunity.   Media Logo ( Graphic)    Letterhead  Envelope Letterhead Business Card and Name Tag   News Release   Newsletter   Merchandise   Web Site Template   Word All materials in the media guide are editable in Microsoft Word.  You can edit these documents or make your own.  To edit an existing document open Microsoft Word and click Open in the file menu.  Locate your document and press open.  To create your own document click New from the File Menu.     The WordArt Gallery is a good tool to use when creating a graphic from words.  To access this utility select the WordArt Button or select it from the Insert menu.
