| PAPER ALIGNMENT FOR BONE BROCHURE |
| Hi Girls! I asked a few teachers about the paper alignment issue for your brochure. (and I tried it myself!) And basically this is what I found out: 1. Some document programs like word or apple word already have a "formatting" toolbar specifically for brochures. If that is the case with your computer - great for you! Then you just have to experiment a little bit when putting your paper in the printer. 2. I made a little brochure myself. I first wrote the inside of the brochure by typing in Word, then going to the "format" button and clicking on "text direction" and it actually turns the text vertically, so you can make a 3 panel brochure. Then I typed on a new document the outside cover and back of the brochure. I then printed out the "inside" first, turned the paper over and printed my "outside" page. I must admit, I wasted too much paper getting the alignment right - but finally, IT WORKED! And WAH-LAH, my brochure was done! I must say this type of stuff takes A LOT of trial and error....But stick with it, and be patient with yourself. This is the first time you are doing this, right?! It's OK if you don't figure it out right away. : ) See you Monday - And don't forget to study!! Love, Ms. Sigro |
