Trying to make a Trifold Leaflet

[Elijay]

Double sided and folds in on itself, not Z shape.

I'm using Word 2007 and wasting so much time. Any tips, advice or pointers would be great.

Or I could use Publisher 98, what is best?

there should be a template for that in Word

make text boxes the right size and type into them, you can then move them around on the page as you wish, you may want to put the text at right angles which word allows you to do.

Publisher would be far easier to use than Word. Simply create a blank A4 landscape format document. Hold down the Shift key and click on the side ruler. Drag across to the right and you'll create a layout guide which you can position one third of the way (9.9cm) across the page. Repeat to put another guide 19.8cm across the page. Then create your text boxes. (Alternatively just use a suitable brochures template; it's up to you).

Why not set the page to 3 columns in Word and type!

[Buenchico]

A valid point, Scotman.

However I find that it's such a pain to change all of the default margins that Word provides for a three column document, that it's actually easier to use Publisher. Publisher also lets you mix text and pictures far more easily.
