Customize the flyer or catalog template with your own text and graphics. Templates are laid out with generic text and graphics. To replace template text and graphics with your own, select the text or graphic you want to replace, and type your text or insert your image. To insert an image, go to the "Insert" menu, browse to the location of your own image, and click to insert that image into your flyer or catalog. You can add as many images to your design as you like.

Print your catalogs and flyers on high-quality glossy paper. This will give the finished designs a professional look. To keep expenses low, you'll need to bind the catalog yourself. The simplest way is to fold and staple. Consider distributing a digital copy of your catalog on CD-R discs, which can be cheaper than printing. Do this by using a free virtual PDF printer to save your catalog as a PDF file, and then burn it to disc.
