Instructions

How to Make a Travel Brochure on the Computer With Microsoft Word

1

Boot up your computer. Wait until all your programs are fully loaded. Open a blank Microsoft Word document.

2

Click on "File," "Page setup" and then "Orientation." You may now change from the regular portrait paper orientation to the landscape orientation, which allows you to fill the paper sideways.

3

Click on "Format" and choose "Columns." Travel brochures usually have three columns and are folded three times; by following this simple truism, you are well on your road to creating a travel brochure on your computer that mimics those professionally printed.

4

Add your text into the three columns. Include pictures, photos and clip art.

5

Save the travel brochure by clicking on "File" and then "Save." Double-check your spelling, grammar and punctuation. Proofread carefully for any homonyms or errors.

6

Send your finished brochure to the printer by clicking on "File" and then "Print."
