Where can you download templates to make a brochure in Word?
To make a brochure in Word , what you need most is imagination since the template is quite easy to obtain. You have several options for them, one is to download it from the search bar of Word itself and the other is to do it yourself from scratch, which is actually a little better because it will be completely to your liking. We explain these two ways in detail below.
From the search bar
You can create the brochure from Word online by downloading the templates from the search bar. You just have to open the ´Files´ menu and select the ´New´ option.
Then a tab will appear where you will find the search bar and below it a large number of templates , you can choose one of these or if you want to write in the search bar the name of a specific template, for example ´Template for triptych of love´, ‘Information brochure template’, etc. Word will offer you several categories for you to choose from among them.
Create the brochure from scratch
To create the brochure from scratch you just have to go to the Word application or you can also do it from the online page, for this you will have to create a Microsoft account . With any of the options that you decide to work with, you have to open the application and select the ´New´ option , in the tab that will open you will find on the right side a list of document options, choose the one that is useful for you, it can be ´Triptych ´ or ´Brochure´.
Once the option is selected, you will only have to choose a model that you like from those that appear on the main page, or save in your mind some idea of a model , press ´Create´ and start editing the blank page, using shapes and the Word’s own design tools. At the end you can save your brochure in normal format or if you wish you can save it in PDF format , doing a small conversion.
How to add more pages to your brochure template?
When choosing the template on which you will work on your brochure project, you will have all the space you need, but if you want to add more pages, all you have to do is press ‘Enter’ on the sheet and a new page will be added immediately with the brochure template you selected at the beginning. This is a good technique if you want your brochure to have 2 sides, one for the cover and one for the infographic.
How to insert images from your files into your brochure template?
To add an image to your brochure template you have to go to the top line where all the options are and click on the one that says ‘Insert’.
A new menu will open and you have to select ‘Image’, doing so will open a window from which you can search for the image saved on your computer, choose it, press ‘Insert’ and that’s it. You can now accommodate it as you prefer. When finishing your brochure, remember that you have the option to save it with a password so as not to run the risk of it being deleted or lost.
Add text to your brochure
To add text to your brochure, go to the ‘Insert’ option and in the options menu you are going to locate and select the one that says ‘Text box’, Word will present you with the text models that you can add and you will only have to select the one that best suits the work you are doing within your brochure.
to change colors
To change the colors of your brochure you must double click on the shapes that have color and the options panel will immediately open at the top that will show the available colors. If what you want is to change the color of the line design, you just have to go to the ‘Page design’ option and click on the themes and colors.
