Creating bi-fold brochure

[Mary]

Hi!

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding setting up a bi-
fold brochure, please? By that I mean a one page brochure,
that is printed landscape, and then fold in thirds, with
print on both sides.

I've tried a few different approaches, and am having
problems. I'm frustrated enough that I'm about ready to
do it in Excel, but I know that's probably not the most
efficient way to do it.

I thought I'd just use a 3 column table. But the problem
I'm having with that is it won't let me insert graphics
into the table. Nor will it let me put in a text box. I
was thinking I'd use a text box for the back panel, so I
could use that portion of the brochure as my mailing info,
and put my return address in a text box, and rotate it so
it will show up in the upper left hand corner. But no
such luck....... As an aside, I have trouble getting a
text box to rotate in Word. I think Excel will let you
though....

Since I was having trouble with the table, I tried just
setting the page up without a table, but with 3 columns,
but then I had trouble navigating from column to
column.....

I also downloaded a Word template, but, again, I had
trouble getting graphics in.

I'd be very appreciative of any suggestions!

Thanks!!!

Mary

You need to use columns. See
