A cover page, also known as a title page, is the forefront of various documents like theses, books, projects, research papers, and business proposals. More than just an opening page, it provides essential information at a glance. This includes the document’s title, author, affiliated institution, date, and sometimes a brief summary or abstract.

Start by opening your document in Microsoft Word. Next, go to the ‘Insert’ tab, and click on ‘Cover Page’. Select the design you prefer from the built-in options, and it will be added to the beginning of your document. You can then customize the text and images on the cover page to match your content.
