Tips & Warnings
Use pictures or clip art from online sources for a background or other graphics on the benefit flier, if you do not have any of your own. Insert at least one big picture near the top pertaining to the benefit. Add other smaller pictures or graphics below, but leave enough room for the details. Microsoft Publisher has more options to use when working with graphics than Microsoft Word does. Use it or other similar program, if possible.
