How+to+make+a+flyer+in+Microsoft+Word


 * Instead of paying someone to make you flyers, you can make your own flyers in Microsoft Word 2007. All you need to do is follow a few simple steps to make a creative and eye catching flyer. Flyers are very helpful to catch people's attention to relay information to others by just posting these flyers.**


 * There are seven easy steps to creating a flyer in Microsoft Word 2007. **


 * Step 1: ** First plan out your ideas for your flyer on a piece of paper. Write down what is being advertised. Think of a creative title for your flyer and add the location, date and time of the event. Think of topic related images and layouts for the flyer.

**Step 2:** Open a new document in Microsoft Word and save your new project with an appropriate title heading.


 * Step 3: ** Take your ideas from your piece of paper and type them into the new Microsoft Word document. Enter the title on the top followed by other related information. Changes such as font size, justification and styles could be done from the home menu tab in Microsoft Word 2007.


 * Step 4: ** Borders and backgrounds will enhance the look of your flyer. Go to the Page layout tab, click on page borders and select your border. You could choose your style, color, font size, coverage area or select from the different art patterns. To add a background color, go to page layout, select page color and fill effects.


 * Step 5: ** I would suggest adding any clip art, shapes or images that are related to the flyer topic from the insert menu tab. This will enhance your flyer and help draw peoples' attention.

**Step 6:** To add a row of contact numbers to the flyer, insert a table at the bottom of the page document. Select table from the insert menu tab and add the text. Adjustments to the table border could be made by right clicking and selecting table properties. Change the direction of the text by right clicking within the table and selecting text direction. You could then cut the table line perforations to make it easier for pulling contact information.


 * Step 7: ** Now your all done, just select print preview and save all the changes to the final version of your flyer.


 * Finally, this is what your flyer should look like when finished: **

As you can see your flyer should be exciting, colorful, have pictures, and catch people's attention. **
