Add your content
1. Dive in, and type your brochure. Here are some tips:
a. If you are using columns, type inline; if you are using a template, type in a text box.
b. Try using large font sizes for titles, and center them using the Center button on the Home tab.
c. WordArt works nicely for the front (title) page. To insert WordArt, on the Insert tab, click WordArt, and then select a style.
d. To prevent text from flowing from the bottom of one column to the top of the next column, you can use text boxes. Draw a text box over a column. When you type in the text box, all text will remain inside the container. If you want text to flow from one text box to another, select the first text box, and then, on the Text Box Tools Format tab, click Create Link. Then, click the empty text box that you want the text to flow into.
2. Add pictures, shapes, SmartArt, and any other object to go with your text. Here are some tips:
a. On the Insert tab in the Illustrations group, click an object, such as a Picture or SmartArt graphic, to add it to your brochure. You can also drag a picture file from a folder.
b. Select an object, click the object Format tab, and then click Text Wrapping to align the object to the column (In Line with Text) or click one of the other options to move the object freely.
c. Try the other options on the object Format tab, such as Outline, Effects, and Fill. For example, you could add a light fill color to a text box or a drop shadow to a picture.
3. Remember to save your document regularly. When you're finished with your brochure, print it. Fold it into thirds, and see how it looks. You might need to move things away from the edges a bit so you don't cut off text or pictures.
