Question

How do I make a brochure in Word that prints cleanly?

Answer

Word can produce a clean brochure if you start from a template and keep the design disciplined. Customize a built-in layout to match your brand, then prepare the file carefully for print.

  • Start with a template: adjust fonts, colors, and images to fit your brand.
  • Limit fonts: stick to two, and use images at 300 DPI or higher.
  • Set margins: 0.5 inches, with columns for the panel layout.
  • Test the fold: print a proof before the final run.
  • Export as PDF: for the sharpest output when sending to a printer.
