Hello,
I need to integrate some sort of post-its into a text that I would like to print.
I would like to know if there are downloadable templates or how to create them directly in Word (if someone has a tutorial using the shapes already available).
I would like a "post-it" style finish, or even better, a "bulletin board" look, like a wooden frame with pinned post-its on which to write, that would be the best.
So, if anyone knows anything like that, it would help me a lot.
Thank you
Configuration: Windows / Chrome 44.0.2403.155

Hello
By going to Insert => Clipart Images => search for `post-it'. There are several models: some that stick, with pins... :-)
Save one as an image on your disk
To use it in Word and write on it, we will insert the post-it image into a text box where you can write: Insert a text box => remove the border => right-click: `Format Shape' => Fill => Fill with an image => Insert from file and load the post-it
To then move the post-it around freely, you'll need to set the text box wrapping: right-click => Text Wrapping and choose the wrapping style
To easily reference it later, save it as a quick part.
After that, there are ways to play with it but it needs to be adapted to the file...

I can't access clip art, but I eventually found a solution that works for me: I used the shapes provided in Word and I saved cropped images of Post-it notes and bulletin boards, then I selected textures to fill the shapes and I'm getting quite a nice result! I will try your suggestion when I figure out how to access clip art, thank you very much!

If you have Word 2013, it's Insert / 'Online Pictures' that searches for Bing images.
