How to Make a Brochure in Microsoft Publisher

In Microsoft Publisher, you may create your own 3- or 4-panel brochures by choosing from a variety of pre-installed design templates or, with practice, by starting from scratch. You can even include elements like reply forms and an address section to make the brochures more unique.

• Step 1: Choose a Brochure Template

  
  Choosing a built-in design template is the simplest way to start with the creation of your brochure. Launch your Microsoft Publisher application. To create a brochure, go to the File tab of the Publisher ribbon and click on New. Then, select “Built-In”. From the displayed categories, choose Brochures. After that, select the brochure template that you want to use as a reference for making your brochure.

• Step 2: Set Up the Layout of the Brochure Template

  
  Once you’ve selected a brochure template (such as the “Arrows” brochure template), move to the right side of the screen and make the necessary adjustments there under the Customize & Options menu. After that, click on the “Create” button to open the brochure template.

• Step 3: Customize the Brochure

  
  You can now customize the template that you have chosen. Go to the Page Design tab of the Microsoft Publisher ribbon and experiment with color themes, fonts, and backgrounds that will meet your needs. You can also add pictures or objects of your choice to the brochure to make it more attractive. Simply select the “Pictures” option from the Home tab. Additionally, replace the placeholder text in your brochure with the necessary and required information you want.

• Step 4: Save the Completed Brochure or Print It

  
  Once you are satisfied with the results of your brochure, you can save or print it. To save, go to the File tab, click the Save As button, select the location for your file, enter the name of the file, select the type of the file, and click Save. On the other hand, to print your brochure, select the File tab, click Print, and choose an option to either click Export to find “Create PDF/XPS” or other “Pack and Go” options for photo or commercial printing, or click Print to make copies on your personal printer.
