How to Make Pamphlets in Microsoft Office Word
Making pamphlets or brochures in MS Word can be difficult. The page setup will need to reformatted into columns with a break in the middle to account for where the pamphlet fold will go. However, once the margins and column formatting are set, text and images can be added as they would in any Word document.
