The Word editor provides the user with a ton of possibilities for editing and formatting text documents. If you wish, for example, in this program you can create a small brochure or even a whole book. We will talk about how to do this correctly, and we will talk later in the article.
How to make a brochure
So, let's see how to make a brochure in Word. Creating books in this editor is very simple. First, open the document. Press the Office button and select the “Open” line. In the window that appears, find the folder with the document and select it with a click. Click on the “Open” button at the bottom of the window. The document opens in the editor. Now you can change and arrange it, as you like. Including in the form of a brochure.
In the main menu, go to the "Page Settings" tab. In the seventh and tenth versions of the editor, it is called "Page Layout." Next, go to the "Orientation" item and select "Book". Then click on "Custom Fields" at the very bottom of the menu that opens. In the window that appears, we find the line “Several pages”. Here, select "Brochure" in the drop-down menu. In the line “Number of pages in the brochure” we leave “Everything”.
It should be noted that when printing the page will be reduced. In order not to select pictures and fonts again, in the “Paper Size” tab, in the same line, you should choose the A5 format. Click on Ok.
Book printing
Thus, we found out how to make a brochure in Word, or rather, how to orient the text in this way. Now let's see how to print it with a book. In the Word 2003 editor, the print button is in a prominent place - on the toolbar. In other versions of the program, simply click on Office and go to the "Print" line. A window will open with three items: “Preview”, “Quick Print” and just “Print”. All these buttons can be displayed on the control panel. To do this, right-click on the desired item and select the line "Place ... under the ribbon" in the pop-up context menu.
Now let's see how to print a brochure in Word. Most modern printers have the function "Text book". The device itself will arrange the pages of the brochure in the necessary order. Preliminary sheets will be printed only on one side. Next, the program will open a window in which the user will be prompted to arrange the pages in the desired sequence. After that, printing can continue.
How to make pages color. Solid background
Now you know how to print a brochure in Word. This procedure is actually very simple. However, sometimes it is required to make the resulting booklet have some color. In this way, for example, training manuals are sometimes formalized. If you have a color printer, you can try making your manual color. Changing the hue of pages in the editor is also very easy.
To do this, again go to the “Page Layout” tab and click on the triangle opposite the line “Page Color”. A drop-down menu will appear with a variety of different tones. If desired, you can colorize the background in one of the standard shades offered by the editor. The choice is very simple. When you hover over any of the boxes, the color of the Word page will change to the corresponding one. In the event that the proposed palette does not suit you, you can choose the color yourself. To do this, click on the line “Other colors”. After that, a window will open in which you can select the desired shade.
Gradient fill
The question of how to print a brochure in Word can be considered closed. And how to make the manual unique? If desired, the background of the book can be made not only monophonic, but also gradient. In order to achieve this, in the same drop-down menu you need to select the line "Methods of filling". A toolbox is also presented here. In addition, you can customize your own gradient by selecting two desired colors and placing them in a certain direction.
Textural or patterned background.
How to make a brochure even more beautiful in Word? In the "Fill Methods" window, you can make the background texture or patterned. The editor provides a fairly rich set of standard skins. If you wish, you can even draw your own pattern in a program such as Photoshop or create a texture. The picture is saved in a folder on the computer and opened in Word in the same window (select from the list). If you wish, you can also set a picture from the Internet or a photo made by yourself. You can decorate the background in this way in the “Picture” tab in the same window. It is worth considering that when using a small picture, it will be located on the page many times, covering it completely.
Change text color
The designed and printed brochure in Word will be quite easy to read, no matter what background or pattern you choose. When changing the color of the page, the editor automatically changes the color of the text, so that it is as noticeable as possible. However, when using a picture, the text may merge with the background. In order to make the necessary changes, go to the "Home" tab and select the "Font" section. Here is the icon "Text Color" (bottom row, the latest). By clicking on the triangle in the drop-down menu, you can select the desired shade of letters.
Text Style Changes
Printing a brochure in Word, as you see, is a very simple task. You can change the color, size and way of writing letters in this editor using a set of styles. In order to arrange the text in a certain way, you should go to the tab "Home" - "Styles". Here, right on the control panel, there is a set of the most popular styles. The design method can be selected by clicking on the triangle in the "Change styles" section.
Well, you and I have figured out how to make a brochure in Word. This procedure is not tricky at all. You can issue such a little book at your discretion. Give it a try.
