Make A Trifold Brochure Template With Tabs

Print your brochure if you intend to distribute it.


Word processing programs allow you to create complex or simple tri-fold brochures. You can use the wide variety of tabs in the "Format" and "Page Setup" window to customize your brochure. Most brochures feature a cover page and two columns presenting information in the form of words and pictures. The best brochures get information across quickly and efficiently, using as few words and pictures as possible. You may wish to use simple fact bullets instead of long paragraphs.
