Шаг 1: Создание тетрадных страниц

В Майкрософт Ворд можно создать сетку, полностью повторяющую по своему размеру и виду клетку на тетрадных листах. Однако для того, чтобы сделать ее одновременно пригодной и к набору текста, и к печати на принтере, необходимо прибегнуть к некоторым хитростям. О том, как создать подходящий для решения нашей задачи макет, мы ранее рассказывали в отдельной статье – ознакомьтесь с ней, выполните предложенные рекомендации, и только после этого переходите к следующему шагу.

Шаг 2: Добавление и оформление рукописного текста

Важно! Все дальнейшие манипуляции необходимо выполнять исключительно при масштабе страницы 100%, иначе и клетка, и другие элементы, используемые в документе Ворд, будут отображаться некорректно.

1. Имея на руках точную электронную копию тетрадных листов, необходимо добавить на нее текст будущего конспекта и правильно его оформить. В качестве примера используем запись со страницы «О нас» сайта Lumpics.ru.



2. Выберите в перечне предустановленных в Word шрифтов один из тех, который, по вашему мнению, максимально похож на рукописный (обратите внимание на то, что далеко не все из них поддерживают русский язык).

   Однако значительно лучшим решением в данном случае будет установка стороннего шрифта, максимально приближенного к естественному почерку. Со своей стороны можем порекомендовать сайт Font4You, автор которого занимается созданием именно таких шрифтов. О них мы рассказывали в отдельной статье.

   Важно! В качестве наглядного примера далее мы будем использовать шрифт Eskai, входящий в библиотеку Font4You. Вы же можете выбрать любой другой, но учтите, что все дальнейшие рекомендации касательно размера, интервалов, отступов и прочих параметров применимы строго к Eskai, в остальных случаях может потребоваться настроить их самостоятельно.

3. Окончательно определившись с выбором и добавив в документ Ворд текст, вид которого вы хотите преобразовать, выделите его и примените к нему рукописный шрифт.



4. Установите размер 16.
   

   По желанию также можно изменить цвет из стандартного черного на синий, приближенный к таковому в обычной шариковой ручке.

5. Не снимая выделения с текста, нажмите по нему правой кнопкой мышки и выберите пункт «Абзац». Интервал «После» задайте 14,2 пт, междустрочный выберите «Точно» и введите в поле «значение» 14,2 пт. Нажмите «ОК» для подтверждения.
   

   

   Важно! Если вы хотите, чтобы текст в будущем конспекте был записан не в каждой строке, а через одну, для междустрочного интервала необходимо установить значение 28,35 пт.

6. Чтобы выровнять весь «рукописный» текст по одной линии, снова выделите его, нажмите на кнопку «Интервал» и выберите пункт «Удалить интервал после абзаца».
   

   Важно! В определенных местах будущего конспекта наверняка потребуется добавить отступы – интервалы между абзацами. При заданных нами параметрах один отступ по высоте равен одной клетке, но в некоторых случаях их может потребоваться настроить отдельно. Сделать это помогут следующие инструкции на нашем сайте.

7. Выровняйте текст по ширине страницы.
   

   Читайте также: Как выровнять текст по ширине страницы в Word

   На данном этапе также можно добавить поля. Для этого включите отображение линейки в документе, если этого не было сделано ранее, выделите весь текст и сместите его влево от правой границы на несколько клеток.

   Вертикальную черту, обозначающую выделенные нами поля, придется на каждой странице документа рисовать вручную – проще всего это сделать с помощью вставки фигуры – линии.

   

   Читайте также: Как нарисовать линию в Word

   Разместите ее на подходящем расстоянии между текстом и правым полем, измените цвет на красный, а затем выполните это же на каждой последующей странице документа.



8. Опционально в текст можно также добавить автоматический перенос слов.
   

   Читайте также: Как сделать перенос слов в Ворд

9. Так как создаваемый нами макет в дальнейшем будет собираться в тетрадь, необходимо подкорректировать размеры полей для каждой второй (четной) страницы, отразив их. Для этого:
   • Выделите текст на второй странице документа и перейдите во вкладку «Макет».

   

   Вызовите меню группы инструментов «Параметры страницы» и поменяйте местами значения левого и правого полей. Нажмите на кнопку «ОК» для подтверждения.
   

   • Проделайте эти же действия с каждой последующей четной страницей в документе



10. Последнее, что необходимо сделать — восстановить расположение текста на страницах относительно тетрадных полей. Для этого:
    • Либо сразу выделите все четные страницы документа, либо, если выделите только одну, затем все необходимые действия придется повторить для каждой из них.
      

      Читайте также: Как выделить одну страницу в документе Word

    • С помощью линейки сместите текст вправо — на одинаковое расстояние от левого поля и к правому, то есть сделайте так, чтобы он по своему виду был зеркальным отражением того, что вы видите на нечетных страницах.

    

    • Если добавляли линию поля, переместите ее с правой стороны на левую.

    

    • Выполнив все эти действия, пролистайте документ и убедитесь, что четные и нечетные страницы в нем выглядят так же, как соответствующие стороны тетрадного листа.



11. Сохраните полученный макет конспекта и переходите к следующему этапу.

Шаг 3: Печать документа

Последнее, что остается сделать с электронной версией документа – распечатать ее на принтере. Но прежде необходимо активировать отображение фона страницы, которое по умолчанию не выводится на печать.

Вызовите «Параметры» текстового редактора, откройте вкладку «Отображение» и установите отметку напротив пункта «Печатать фоновые цвета и рисунки», после чего нажмите «ОК».

Далее перейдите в раздел «Печать», вместо односторонней выберите «Печать вручную на обеих сторонах» и запустите процесс.

Важно! Обязательно учитывайте то, как располагаются «расчерченные» поля на страницах.

Подробнее: Печать документов в Ворд

Шаг 4: Создание бумажного конспекта

Соберите распечатанные листы, склеив их тонкой полоской скотча и сделав иголкой отверстия в тех местах, куда должны входить скобы. Лучше делать их в соответствии с расположением на предварительно подготовленной обложке, «позаимствованной» у настоящей тетради. В нее же и следует облачить полученный в результате конспект, вставив скобы в проделанные отверстия и согнув их. В идеале должно получиться нечто похожее на изображение ниже.

Reviewing your notes and reading assigned texts can help you master the materials in the classes you’re taking — but if you want another way to study, create your own study guide. Study guides often come with information packaged in a number of different formats, such as visuals, outlines, summaries, and basic charts. Try using all of these methods when you create a study guide in Microsoft Word.

Launch Microsoft Word and select «Blank Document» from the template chooser.

Type the name of the class, section, or something else that denotes the study topic at the top of the page. Throughout the document, make your headings larger by highlighting the text and then selecting a number larger than «12» from the Font Size drop-down menu.

Make an outline of important information from your class notes. Microsoft Word helps you format the outline as you go. Start by typing «I,» and then type a main heading; pressing «Enter» will automatically insert «II» below your heading, but if you press «Tab,» Word removes the «II» and inserts an indented «a.» Type a subheading, press «Enter,» and then either type another subhead or press «Tab» to add more detailed information underneath the first subhead. For example, if you’re studying anatomy, you might type «Leg Muscles» for the heading, type «Quadriceps» next to «a,» create subheadings under «Quadriceps» to type the names of the four quadriceps muscles, and then type «Hamstrings» next to «b.»

Create a visual organizer of information using images and text boxes. This way you can include such things as diagrams, maps and photos in your study guide. With the Insert tab open, click «Insert» and then «Picture» to locate and insert a photo from your computer. Following our example of a study guide for muscles, you might insert a picture to help you remember what the quadriceps look like and where they are located in the body. With the Insert tab still open, click the «Text» group and then click «Text Box» to add text to the page. Click the border of the text box to move it to an appropriate location on the document, and click and drag one of its corners to change the size of the box if necessary. Type the basic concept you’re studying in the text box, such as «Leg Muscles,» and type additional information to help you study or create another text box with related details.

Create a table that you can use to study important words or study questions. Place your cursor on the part of the document where you want the table to go. With the Insert tab selected, click «Table.» From the menu that appears, pull your cursor across and down to select three columns across and the number of rows that correspond to the number of words you need to study. For example, if you have 10 vocabulary words or study questions, move your cursor down 10 rows. When the desired number of rows and columns is highlighted, click your mouse to create the table. Type the vocabulary words or questions in the rows along the left side of the table, leave the middle column blank, and type the definitions or answers in the corresponding cells along the right hand side of the table. When you print this portion of the study guide, you can fold the paper along the middle column, or leave the right half covered so you won’t see the definitions or answers until you’re ready.

Click the disk icon near the top left of the Word window to save your document. In the window that appears, type the name of your study guide and click «Save.» When you want to print the document, click «File,» and then select «Print.»

5 Best Note-Taking Methods 

There are various note-taking methods that you can follow to make your notes well organized. Students use different techniques to arrange notes and improve their study skills. One of the most popular and effective techniques is note-taking. Cornell note-taking system is one of the popular and commonly used notes taking methods. Below we provide a complete guide to the basic note-taking methods. Some primary methods to improve the readability of your notes are as follows:

The outline method

The outline method is one of the popular and effective methods to write down what you heard in a lecture. This method is helpful when there is group information. After discussing the main topic, there are subcategories of the main topic. It is vital when you write down the information in a structured form. Use bullet points to represent every topic and the sub-topic. You can see an outline method example to understand its format of it. 

The boxing method

In the boxing note-taking process, each box contains a specific group of information. Students do not commonly use the boxing method because it is time-consuming. Grouping the data in different tables is sometimes time-consuming and complicated. It is not suitable to note down every type of information. 

The Cornell method

Above, we discuss all the Cornell notes and its method. Divide your paper as we described above, and write the brief information but to the point in the note-taking section. Summarize your notes and write them in the summary section. Place the key points, main ideas, and questions in the cue column to self-test and review notes. 

The charting method

The charting method is just like the table and spreadsheet. Organize your notes by creating the chart. Make a separate row for each topic and place the related information in each cell. There are different categories of each topic that are placed in each column. For example, charting note-taking methods and columns of this topic may be described, advantages, disadvantages, and uses. 

The mapping method

The mapping method is used when the material of your notes is complicated and hard to write. Students or teachers use a mapping note-taking approach to represent the content graphically. Write the main topic on the top of the page and write the related topic or subtopics on the left or side and link it with the main topic by drawing the arrows.

Mistakes To Avoid While Taking Cornell Notes

Cornell’s notes-taking system is widely used by the students of schools and colleges for biology, maths, and chemistry subjects. Mistakes that commonly happen while taking Cornell notes, we share a complete guide to avoiding these mistakes.

• It is impossible to write down the lecture without listening to it. People focus on writing instead of listening to the lecture attentively. This may lead to making failure notes. 
• Students want to write down every word of the lecture, avoid it. Write only the important and relevant information in your notes. Avoid writing irrelevant things in your notes.
• Sometimes, students follow the paragraph strategy to note the lecture. It may create confusion and is difficult to read. Instead, use bullet points to highlight the essential things.
• Students write the content of the lecture and then forget to review it. Reviewing the notes helps to memorize them and prevent any incorrect information. 
• Taking notes does not mean highlighting the text. It is a way to summarize the lecture in an organized and efficient way.

Is this article up to date?

The Cornell Note taking method is more than a way to take focused notes and capture ideas. These notes can transform your learning skills and allow you to keep information better. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to make a Cornell Notes Template with Microsoft Word. (Includes finished files.)

What are Cornell Notes?

If you’re not familiar with Cornell Notes and the student benefits, take 5 minutes to watch this video presented by a biology teacher. I think she does a nice job of summarizing the note-taking technique and main ideas. This technique is equally as effective outside the physical classroom. For example, it works equally well if you’re doing an online class, attending a conference lecture, or doing home schooling.

The concept is to do note taking in a structured way using a suggested layout that facilitates learning. Each of the defined areas has a specific purpose used when you take the notes and review them. However, it’s not so structured that you can’t personalize it. Instead, think of it as a focus notes template.

The last few years, more people have been doing online classes and inquiring about “pretty notes” or “aesthetic notes.” These are loosely defined phrases where the note-taker emphasizes colors, fonts, bullets, and other styling.

While these other note types weren’t part of the original design by Walter Pauk of Cornell University, their visual clues may help in learning. Feel free to edit the downloadable Word template to adapt to your aesthetics.

Microsoft Templates

Microsoft Word templates are a special type of file designed for reuse. Templates provide the structure and more items such as auto text entries and macros. They are the basis by which Word documents are created, whether it’s a new document or you want to make a letterhead template. In fact, Microsoft Word starts by opening a blank page based on an autostart macro in the normal.dotm template.

Microsoft Word comes with many pre-built templates and groups them by function. You may have other templates that add-in tools or programs have created. You see this interface when you select File | New. You’ll see a listing of your available templates below the top row under the personal section.

Two Template Examples

There are actually 2 Cornell method templates attached to this tutorial.

[1] Cornell Notes Template for Word

This ruled template was designed to be very simple. You can either use it as the source for new documents or print copies. I intentionally kept the document black and white even though I’ve seen templates with color background areas. While color has its benefits, it can be costly if you need to print these out. But, again, if you’re an aesthetic notes fan, you might prefer color.

Also, I kept the top section blank instead of putting specific fields for the class, teacher, etc. This generic approach allows you to use it for other learning scenarios like conferences. Feel free to add your own keyboard symbols or customizations. If you’re adventurous, you can even add a Word watermark.

The template also has X‘s in the Cue Column. This was a request from people who wanted to punch holes to place the notes in a ringed binder. You can delete those if you don’t need them.

[2] Printable Cornell Notes PDF Template

This is the same design as the Word template. However, it’s not meant to be an interactive PDF file. It’s best used for making printed copies. Some commercial printers prefer the PDF file format.

If you’ve not seen the Cornell Note taking system, it divides an 8.5″ x 11″ page into three sections:

1. Cue Column – used for questions, keywords, definitions, meaningful facts
2. Note-taking area – main notes
3. Summary section – your quick topic explanation and key points

Depending on your preferences, some people like to have the note-taking area (2) lined like notepaper. So, for our template, we’ll add the lines. I’m figuring the student will probably be taking handwritten notes.

Setting the Template Page dimensions

1. Open a new Microsoft Word document.
2. From the Layout tab, select Margins.
3. Click Custom Margins… from the bottom of the drop-down.
4. In the Page Setup dialog enter 0 for the Bottom, Left, and Right margins. For Top, use 1″.

1. Click OK. (If you get a message saying your margins are outside the printable area, click Fix and then OK.)
2. Press your Enter key once.
3. Press Enter again if you want to add leading text to write in the class name, topic, etc.

Creating the Cue & Notes Table

1. From the Insert tab, select Table.
2. From the Insert Table menu, select Insert Table…
3. On the Insert Table dialog, enter 2 for columns and 34 for rows.
4. Click OK. You should now see your table.
5. Move your mouse over the top line in Column 1 until you see a down arrow.

1. Click to select the entire column. It should turn grey.
2. Right-click and select Merge Cells.

You should now have two equal-width table columns. The first column will not have any lines.

Changing Table Properties

In the initial example, you can see that the two columns are the same width. You may adjust the column widths and row height to your desired settings.

1. Right-click column 1 and select Table Properties…
2. Click the Column tab, and enter 2.4 for the Preferred width.

1. Click the Next Column button >>.
2. Enter 6.0 for Column 2 Preferred width.
3. Click the Row tab.
4. Click the check box for Specify height and type 0.25.
5. In the Row height is field, select Exactly.
6. Click OK.

If you go to Print Preview, you will see the cell lines in the Cue column (1) do not display, and you have a Summary area (3) at the bottom. I intentionally added 1″ before the table as it makes it easier to adjust the position or add a description. At this stage, you can change the dimensions to meet your needs.

Saving Your Notes Template

1. From the File menu, select Save As.
2. In the Save As dialog, change the file type to Word Template (*.dotx). This should navigate to your Templates folder. The folder location will vary based on your profile and software version. For example, on my Microsoft 365 edition the folder path is:

C:UsersAnneDocumentsCustom Office Templates

However, in older versions of Microsoft Word, my location was:

C:UsersAnneAppDataRoamingMicrosoftTemplates

Alternatively, you can hover on an existing template and see the file location.

1. Type Cornell Notes as your File name.
2. Click Save.

Using the Cornell Note-taking Template

1. From the File menu, select New.
2. Underneath the top row, select the Personal link.

1. Click the Cornell Note template.

Your document will open, and you can make further changes. For example, some people may want to adjust the top area to type Class name and date. That’s why I added the paragraph break before the table. Other people put their names in case the notes are lost. Finally, print out how many copies you’ll need and head to class.

Google Docs Compatibility

Although I built this template with Microsoft Word, it works with Google Docs. You might want to create a folder to put your template files. The paid version, which is part of Google Suite, allows you to create private templates.

1. Download the template from the Downloads section.
2. Click the + icon for a Blank document.
3. From the File menu select Open.
4. Click Upload from the top menu.
5. Drag the template into the Open a file window or select the file on your computer.
6. From the File menu, select Make a copy.

You now have 2 copies of the file and can use one as the source the next time it is needed.

Buy Wired Cornell Notebooks

When I wrote this article in 2005, the technology was different, and no one made Cornell Notes paper. Levenger made something that was close but didn’t have the Summary section. Since then, several vendors have popped up. These are notebooks specifically designed for Cornell Notes. You can see an example from Amazon below. The notebooks also come in different sizes. (Please note that I am an Amazon affiliate and will make a small commission if you purchase through them.)

Downloadable Cornell Style Templates

The Cornell Notes system has held the test of time since Dr. Pauk conceived it in the 1950s, when he was the Director of the Reading and Study Skills Center at Cornell. Seventy years later, students are still benefitting from the note-taking method. The only difference is how we produce the note sheets and add our aesthetics.
