Leaflet help

Hi i am making a leaflet on the computer using word. How can i get it to make three equal lines so that u can fold it into thirds???????? cheers

One way would be to put the paper into Landscape and then into 3 columns. Once you have the three columns, draw lines between them with the draw tools, or put boxes or borders round the columns. Have a look in the templates to see if there is a leaflet or booklet available - don't have time just now.

Other people might use a table with three columns - depends on what is going into the leaflet.

Assuming that you're using an A4 sheet divided into thirds, you don't really need to have fold lines on your page. (They also tend to make the leaflet look rather 'unprofessional').

Try this:
Go to File > New.
Then select New from Template > General Templates > Publications > Brochure.

You'll now have a template for exactly the type of leaflet you require. Just substitute your own text and graphics. It's then dead easy to fold the sheet, simply by ensuring that the text/graphics on the front page are centred. (If you don't believe this, just print out the unamended template and give it a try!).

Hoping this helps,
