pamphlet making

[Illusions of Grandeur]

I want to make a brochure for my business. Using Power Point. I don't know
how to use Power Point.

 

[Bill Foley]

Why not use Word instead. You can easily find brochure templates (if some
aren't already installed on your computer). All of the graphics
capabilities on the Drawing Toolbar in PowerPoint are exactly the same as
the one in Word.

 

[David M. Marcovitz]

Why would you want to make brochures from PowerPoint? Word or Publisher
(or any of several non-Microsoft products) would be better choices. You
might check out my instructions for making newsletters in Word:

Making brochures would use the same technique except you would probably
work in landscape mode and divide the page up for a bifold or trifold
brochure.

I suppose the same techniques could be used with PowerPoint (since the
Drawing tools are virtually the same), but it seems odd to me to do this
in PowerPoint at all.

PowerPoint is probably the worst choice of application. Use Word, or Publisher,
or InDesign, etc., instead.

If you have Word or Publisher, there are some attractive templates already made
up for your use at

Do a google search for "Word brochure template" (without the quotes) and you'll
get lots of hits, including:
