Creating a leaflet on the computer

[Sureboss]

I need to create a leaflet for one of my units at college and I'm unsure of the best/easiest way to do it on the computer. First thing is first, I've not got Publisher or powerpoint on the PC, I think it's the same for my laptop but I'll have a look later. In reality it doesn't matter too much because I could use my Dad's laptop in the evening.

If you can imagine folding an A4 piece of paper into 3 like you would if you were folding a letter to fit in a standard envelope.

It will have the layout of the actual paper/card like the above.

It's been too long since I've done something like this using the computer.

Thanks.

Can you get away with using Word and setting it up with 3 columns?

Download GIMP and lay out two A4 sides.

It would need to be 3 rows, if that makes sense. As like in the example, I'll be splitting the paper width ways rather than length ways. The Publisher trial sounds a good idea opendriver. I have a duplex printer, but I need to do two sides as being a leaflet I need a back and a front.

Well just do both pages of text then when you print it change the printer settings to onyl print page one on the first side. Then turn the paper over in your printer and print out page two on that side.👍
