Need help making brochure
« on: November 04, 2011, 08:39:49 AM »
Need help from someone computer savvy!

I need to make a United Way Brochure and have some images for it.  I just don't have a program that will let me make one.  Anyone direct me to a program or can I email you the images and you make it for me?

I can't find any programs

GIMP is a free program.  You can set up your canvas to match the dimensions of your brochure.  I think Microsoft Word will also allow you to create brochure-type layouts.

What exactly is the problem? There are any number of templates available online that work with MS Word. And, IIRC, there are several templates within the program itself.

OE = Operator Error?   

I can format a file in about 10 mins and plug in the pics/copy in under an hour; how much content do you have ready to go?

I edit a quarterly newsletter for the Association of Military Musicians and I use MS Publisher to do it. It's fairly painless.

I have time this afternoon. If you need help, you have your copy and your pics ready to go, give me a call. PM out your way.
