How to Make Brochures on Microsoft Word

You know, the best way to market your product is to create a brochure in Microsoft word, generate leads, and admire your own design abilities. No, seriously. Not only are they extremely inexpensive, they also offer the consumer the opportunity to learn more about your products and services. In my view, an all-inclusive brochure contains no lumping of products, lets the reader breathe, and of course, offers something that a customer looks forward to. That said, out of the many things that technology has bestowed upon us, I'm fond of that white document that allows me to write everything from a 30-word text message to a 900-page novel. It's astonishing to know that many Internet users still don't know the bits and nuances of using Microsoft Office, and end up switching to other methods of getting their work done. So, without getting into plunking for Mr. Bill Gates, let me just dish out to you advice on making brochures on MS Word. Yes, making brochures on Microsoft Word might appear to you as an easy method, but designing it entirely depends on how many gray cells do you own.

Method #1

So, an easy way to effortless brochure printing is to go to the official site of Microsoft Office on the web, and download a brochure template. There would be text written on the template, and so, you just need to replace it with your own text and images. Simple as that. However, if you subscribe for zero plagiarism, create your own template on Microsoft Word and get started. Here's how:

• If you see brochures, you'll notice that most brochures are either bi-fold or tri-fold. Let's consider a bi-fold brochure, as it's comparatively simpler.
• Go to File, and click on Page Setup. The reason for this is that you need to set adequate margin space in order to create a clean look of your brochure.
• When you've set margin for the page, add columns to the page as required. For that, click on Table, and select Columns. As per the required number of columns, create brochure panels.
• When you've created columns, click on the first column, and go to Insert. Select Break, and click on Column Break. This will allow you to add paragraphs for information purposes. It's upon you how many breaks you want to put.
• Type relevant information, add images that you can download from the Internet, and when all's done, go to Insert, click on Break, and this time, select Page Break. This will take you to the next page of the brochure.
• Repeat the steps mentioned above, in accordance with what kind of data you want to put, and what images are necessary for your brochure.
• Lastly, when you think you've done a great job, save the copy, and get a print out of it. That's how you make brochures on Microsoft Word.

Method #2

You see, there's yet another way of creating brochures in Word 2007 version, if you aren't in a mood to slog much. Follow the steps given below:

• Go to File, and click on New. A list of templates will open up, wherein, you have to click on Brochures.
• This will direct you to the online page of Microsoft Office Brochure templates. Select the one you prefer, and download it.
• Save the template, and start working on it. Remember, the template already has text and images scribbled over it, and so, you just have to select it and delete it, and replace it with your own information.
• Insert pictures by clicking on Insert, and browsing through your computer, add the image you want on the brochure.
• When all is done, take a print-out of your brochure, and get started with marketing.
