Certificates are a way to recognize someone’s accomplishments or participation in an event. However, it can be time-consuming to write each name on a certificate manually. In this guide, we will show you how to generate participant certificates automatically and how to customize them for different events.
To start, you will need a list of participants’ names. It’s important to create a heading in Microsoft, so the program knows which column to grab data from. Once you have your list, you can use a Microsoft Word certificate template and choose the “empty” option to generate a certificate. From there, you can change the name on the certificate to match the participant’s name.
Next, head to the mailing section and set it to “normal” document and use the list you created or the one from the self. In the list, the first row of data should contain column headers so that you can define which column the data is in. You can edit the participant name and ID in the list by clicking OK. Then, highlight the name on the certificate and name each participant in the mesh, but with a vendetta material reference coding.
Once you’ve verified the certificate looks correct, you can generate the file and print the document. The certificate will be created automatically, and you can generate the entire PDF in one form. You can stretch the certificate to fit the page and edit it individually by the document.
If you need to create multiple certificates, you can choose the list option again and define the names and awards accordingly. For example, if you have a team member certificate, you can choose the participant’s name, team member, and type of award. You can preview the certificate to ensure it’s correct, and then save and print it.
If you need to send a soft copy of the certificate to each participant, you can use PDF exchange edit to extract each certificate and save them as separate files.
In conclusion, creating certificates doesn’t have to be a tedious process. With these steps, you can create certificates automatically and customize them for different occasions.
