How do I create a blank letter fold (3-fold) brochure on Office?

[Chellmart]

I need to make a letter fold brocure using Office and don't want to use a
template. How do I make one from scratch?

Hi Chellmart,

It depends on which MS Office app you're using.

If you're MS Office Publisher it's one of the
default layout choices and can be the simpler
method to maintain a 'layout' from 'moving around'

If you're using MS Word you can setup a blank document
to use 3 columns or you can use a 3 column table and set the height of
a single row to be be 1/2 or the full page in
Table=>Properties, or you can use 3 text boxes
from the Word tool bar placed side by side and
those can in-turn each hold a table. That can
make it a bit easier to manipulate 'uneven height'
information (i.e. each panel of the brochure would
have different layouts). One of the disadvantages
of Word is that its print and screen layout positioning
is tied to the current choice of printer in File=>Print
while Publisher tends to not be.

MS Office Powerpoint can be used as a layout based
tool similar to Publisher with the Word like methods.

The templates on http://office.microsoft.com/templates
use these methods. You can experiment with those to
get a feel for what works easiest for you.
