How to MAKE A FLYER in Word

The Word computer program allows us to view, edit and create text documents of all kinds with a few simple actions. Included within the Microsoft Office suite of programs, it has evolved in such a way that it has expanded its capabilities and options to create files that include indexes, margins, tables, smart graphics, and multimedia formats such as images, video, and sound. It is thanks to these advances that we currently find templates in Word that allow a user without much knowledge create creative, original and modern brochures or flyers.

The basic steps to make a flyer in Word are the following:

1. First, you will have to configure the page to change the size of the sheets, as well as their orientation, margins, etc. To do this, you just have to open Word and go to “Page Layout”, where you will find the options “margins”, “orientation”, “size”, etc. From unCOMO we recommend that you bet on making cheap brochures of a moderate size with dimensions 10.5 x 14.8. If you want to make larger flyers, you can choose to indicate a larger size: 21 x 29.7, for example.
2. We recommend that you create a folder where you can store the images that you are going to use in the flyer design. You can find these photos in various Internet search engines (watch out for image rights) or they can be photographs and designs made by you, something that will add originality to your flyer.
3. For the next step, you will have to insert the backgrounds you want for your design. If you are inserting backgrounds with strong color tones, you should consider letters with light colors for the text. Word also gives you the option to insert transparent backgrounds.
4. Once you have the backgrounds inserted in the flyer, place the images that best represent what you want to convey: logos, images of specific sites where events are to be held, etc. For this, you must be clear about where you will place the images, because the flyer must have an elegant appearance with well-ordered images.
5. Finally, you will have to insert text boxes that allow you to locate the letters in the most suitable flyer site. Here you can manipulate the size of the text, the typeface, the color of the font, the specific fill background for that text box and other characteristics. You can also write vertically, obliquely or inverted so that the flyer has a more original look and design.
