Create certificates of recognition with a data processing program and printer.
Presenting someone with a certificate of recognition is a way to show your gratitude and appreciation for an outstanding achievement. You can create recognition certificates for such venues as the workplace, sports banquets, church events and contests. You don't have to purchase certificates of recognition or have a printing company create and print them for you. You can create and print your own certificates by using a basic word processing or desktop publishing program, and a computer printer. This will save you the cost of using a professional printer and allow you to print as many certificates as you need whenever you need them.
Instructions
1. Open a word processing or desktop publishing program that allows you to enter text, and insert images and lines.
2. Select the font style and color you want for the certificate.
3. Type the text "Certificate of Recognition" at the top of the page. Highlight the text and select the alignment tool to center the text. With the text still highlighted, select font size "24."
4. Press "Enter" to skip three lines. Type the words "Awarded To" and insert after this text a line long enough to write a first and last name. Center the text with the alignment tool.
5. Press "Enter" skip three lines. Type the text "Date" and insert after this a line long enough to write the date. Highlight and align this text to the left with the alignment tool.
6. Type the words "Presented By" on the same line as "Date" and insert a line after it long enough to enter a first and last name. Enter ten spaces between the two sets of text. Align "Presented By" this text to the right of the page with the alignment tool.
7. Start at the words "Awarded To" and highlight everything on the page after it. Select font size "16."
8. Insert an award image on the document wherever you choose. Common award images are medals, trophies and award ribbons.
