How to Create a Brochure in Microsoft Word

Lets learn how to do this brochure in word
Being on the Home page select “Blank document”. If you click on the NEW tab you can also select the blank document option too.

SETTING UP THE PAGE
In the main menu select Layout  HERE.
Now of the options available let’s start setting up  
the margins. Click on it and select narrow. In the second section Orientation  select  Landscape option.
In the size section select Letter which is the first option.  Finally in the column section select the third option: three.

Now in the main menu click on view and activate the ruler HERE.
STRUCTURE OF THE BROCHURE
For both the front and back of the brochure we need 3 rectangles which will be the pages. The first page will be the front cover and the second page the back cover.


Let’s start creating the first page. First let’s create a rectangle. In the main menu select insert then select shapes.  A menu is opened and in the rectangle section click the first shape HERE.

Now start dragging your mouse to create the rectangle. Once you release the mouse the shape format is opened in the main menu. In this section let's start formatting the rectangle. On the right side in the height field type: 8.5 and for the width type: 3.66. 

Be sure your shape is selected, then go to the middle of the page HERE. Click on the shape fill option to establish a color. For example, let's select this one. Now in the second option shape outline, click on No outline. Once you have formatted the rectangle hit CTRL or Command + C to copy the shape then CTRL or Command + V to paste it.  In this example paste it twice. Now click in the middle of the shape to position each of them.  For the rectangle in the middle lets change the color clicking again on the fill shape option.

Finally Select your shape and … click on Wrap text HERE. Then select the Behind text option and activate the Fix position on page. 
Let 's repeat this process for each shape. Then  position each of them. Be sure you select each shape by clicking on the middle of them.

To create the second page go to the main menu and click on Insert then select the Blank page option.

In this new page let’s create 3 rectangles following the same process we just described.

Adding Images
Let’s add some images to the design. I have prepared some images. You can see the link to them in the description below.
Go to the main menu and click on insert then on pictures. 
For this example I have mine in my computer. That's why I click on this device option. Let’s select all of them then click on the insert button.

Now you must format each picture in order to move them wherever you want. Once you select the image you can see that the picture format is open in the main menu. Let’s click on the wrap text option HERE  and then select in front the text option. Now click on the wrap text option again and then select fix position on page option. Let’s repeat the same process for each image. 
To move your image just click on it and move it wherever you want.

Add text
To add text go to the main menu and click on insert then text box. Now click on the draw text box option HERE.

Click and drag it to wherever you want to add the text. 
If you want to move the text in front of the shapes, we need to format it. In the shape format section click on the shape fill and check the no fill box. Then in the shape outline check the no outline box.
If you want to edit your text go to the main menu and click on home. Here you can edit the font, size and all other styles that WORD offers you.
For our second page let’s repeat the same process we did adding images and text.

Saving and printing your brochure
Don't forget to save your brochure by hitting CTRL or Command + S or go to the main menu and click on file then select save as. Type the name of your document in the file name field. In the save as type field we recommend you choose the pdf format because it is a very useful format.
If you want to print it hit CTRL or Command + P and follow the instructions 
We’re sure your brochure looks amazing.
