Yes, you can. The real question is, do you want to? PowerPoint is a top
notch presentation software, but only a second-rate Publisher substitute.
Because it is primarily slide-based, it handles printing in a different way
than page-based software. It scales to a different drummer, in a since. If
you do not have access to MS Publisher, than using Word may be better than
PowerPoint, since both Publisher and Word are page-based software programs.
Now, having said all that, if you still want to push forward, than I would
recommend that you make yourself a paper mock-up of the brochure design.
The term brochure implies a two-sided folded single (or multi-) page
document. Use pencil and paper and roughly sketch out what you want the
general layout of the brochure to be, mainly to include where the folds go
on each of the pages. Then, lay the paper flat and use it as a guide to
create a new slide presentation. Place your major fold lines on the slide
and print that page, turn it over and print it again on the back. The
difference between the lines on the front and the back of the page may
exceed 1". If you are willing to fudge around with the placements on slide
1(front of page 1 of the brochure) and slide 2 (back of page 1 of the
brochure), you can get it to work. I'd recommend getting these correct
before proceeding with the rest of the placements.
