Figure on the layout
Before you open Word, you should decide
how the panels of your brochure will appear
on the paper. There are two types of folds
commonly used in brochures: the z (or
accordion) fold and the barrel (or roll) fold.
As the name indicates, with a z-fold, the
paper is folded in alternating directions,
which is good if you want to present
information sequentially. The barrel fold is
much like you'd fold a letter before putting
it in an envelope (the second fold wraps
around the first one). It helps to take a
scrap piece of paper and fold it the way
you want your brochure to appear. Then
number the panels on each side. You may be
surprised to find that the back side of the
brochure has the front cover.

Click Column break and click OK. Now your cursor
is at the top of the second column. Repeat the
process and your cursor ends up at the top of
the third column. Now you want to insert a page

Insert|Break and click Page Break. Now add
column breaks and your new page is set up just
like your first page.
