How to Build a Brochure on Word for Mac

1. Create a new document. Open your MS Word for Mac and open a new document.
2. Change the page format to "Landscape." Word for Mac typically opens documents in "Portrait" layout, but to make a brochure, you will want to change it to "Landscape." Click the "File" drop-down menu, then select "Page Layout." Click the selection on the right-hand side after "Orientation" to set your layout to "Portrait."
3. Create columns. Click on the "Format" drop-down menu. Select "Columns." MS Word for Mac will then take you to a popup menu that allows you to select the number of columns. Select three columns and click "OK."
4. Create your content. Type all of the information that you need in your brochure. Make sure to have things like headings be in larger type than the rest of the brochure.
5. Insert pictures. Your brochure should include pictures of some kind to break up the text. Insert relevant pictures at key breaks in the text. Click the "Insert" drop-down menu. Then select the "Picture" side submenu. Then click either "Clip Art" (to select from a number of clip art images provided with your Word for Mac license) or "From File" to use an image file on your hard drive.
6. Create the second page. Repeat steps two through five on your second page. Look at page one on top of page two by zooming out. This allows you to see which content will be on the other side of other content, making it easier for you to lay out your brochure properly.
