How to Make Brochures Using Microsoft Office
1. Go online to Microsoft's official website for Office templates.
2. Navigate down to the bottom of the page until you reach the 'Browse Templates' section. Select 'Brochures.'
3. Browse through the wide range of brochures templates available. Most brochure templates are for use in Microsoft Publisher, but there are also several in Microsoft Word format. There are brochure templates in different design styles and also industry-specific templates, such as for technology, restaurant or travel. Find a brochure template that best meets your business needs.
4. Click the title of your chosen template. Double-check the larger image of the template to make sure that this is the one you want. Click the 'Download' button. Select 'Agree' to Microsoft's terms and conditions, and your download should immediately begin. Save the template to an easy to remember location on your computer.
5. Open the Microsoft Office program that your template uses (either Publisher or Word). Go to the 'Office' button on the top left corner of the program, and select 'New.' Click 'New from existing' and locate the template file you saved onto your computer. Click 'OK.' A new document based upon your downloaded template should immediately open.
6. Customize the fonts, images, colors and text of your brochure. Save your brochure design and print one out as a test. If everything is aligned correctly and looks good, get it printed at your local printing shop.
