What would be a creative way to make a timeline?

Is there a way to make a timeline on Microsoft Word?

• If so, can you please tell me how in steps. Thanks!

• Answer:

  1.Start Microsoft Word. 2.On the File menu, point to Page Setup, and then change the page Orientation to Landscape. (This will allow more space for you to extend the timeline horizontally.) 3.On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Drawing. The Drawing toolbar appears. 4.To create a timeline bar, click the Rectangle Tool on the Drawing toolbar. 5.Drag your pointer to draw a long rectangle onto your screen, 6.To change the color of the rectangle, click the arrow on the Fill Color icon, and then click the color that you want. 7.To draw the timeline markers, click the Line Tool. Draw lines starting on the timeline and ending where you choose. Remember that these dividing lines should be spaced according to how long each period lasts. 8.To adjust the width of a line, select the line with the Select Objects tool on the drawing toolbar, and then click the Line Style tool. Click the width you want. Tip: To make sure you select the line and not the rectangle, press CTRL when you select the line with the Select Objects tool. 9.To add in information, click the Text Box tool. Draw a text box on your page. Click the textbox and drag until the text box is the correct size. 10.Type the name and years of the event in the text box. 11.To hide the lines around the text box, click No Line on the Line Color tool. 12.Adjust the font, color, and size of the text to suit your needs. 13.Continue to add text boxes for each stage in your timeline.
