The
Purpose and Benefit of a Booklet

The purpose of this booklet is to advertise a product or
service. Booklets can be a great way to market your company’s products
and can also help build your organization’s identity.

Getting
Started

First,
determine the audience of the booklet. This could be anyone who might benefit
from the products or services it contains. Next, establish how much time and
money you can spend on your booklet. These factors will help determine the
length of the booklet and how frequently you publish it. If your booklet is
acting as a catalog of products or services, it’s recommended that you
publish at least quarterly so that your booklet is considered a consistent
source of information. Your customers or employees will look forward to its
arrival.

Also consider how you want to print your booklet. You can
print it on a desktop printer, at a copy shop, or at a commercial printing
service. In addition to your budget, the complexity of the
publication—including whether you print it as a black and white or a
color publication—will help determine the best method for printing your
publication.

Before you print your booklet, consider how you will bind its
pages. The method you choose depends upon your booklet’s page count, its
intended use, and your budget. For example, if your booklet contains just a few
pages, you might choose the most cost-effective option: folding and stapling. If
it contains more than a few pages, consider comb or coil binding, which use a
continuous, spring-shaped piece of plastic that enables your booklet to lie
flat and fold back on itself for easy reading. For thick booklets, you might use
a more permanent (and expensive) method called “perfect binding,” used
for paperback books.

Inserting
Your Own Art

You can replace the
pictures in this template with your company’s art. To do so, click where
you want to insert the picture. On the Insert
menu, point to Picture, and then
click From File. Locate the picture
you want to insert, and then click it. Next, click the arrow to the right of
the Insert button, and then click
either Insert to place a copy of the
picture into the booklet, Link to File
to display the picture without actually inserting a copy, or Insert and Link. Since Insert embeds a copy, the picture is
always visible, but it may greatly increase the size (in bytes) of your booklet
depending on how large the picture is. In contrast, Link to File does not increase the size, and if you make changes to
the original picture, they automatically show up in the booklet. But the
picture won’t be displayed if viewed from a computer that can’t
link to the original. Insert and Link
inserts a copy so that the image is always available, and also automatically
updates changes to the original.

Using
Pull Quotes

You can draw readers into the information in your booklet
by using a pull quote, like the one on page two. A pull quote is a phrase or
sentence taken from your main column and set apart so that it’s easy to
see. It can be set apart in several ways. Typically, you place it in a text box
and then position the box either in the margin or within the main column (with
the column text flowing around it). In addition, you might format the pull
quote differently from the main column by centering it or changing the
typeface, style, and size of the font. The text of a pull quote should be
engaging. When a reader flips through your booklet looking for a reason to read
it, a pull quote can provide that reason.

Using
Text Boxes

The pull quotes and clip
art in this template are contained in text boxes. A text box offers a flexible
way of displaying text and graphics; it’s basically a container. You can
move a text box around, positioning it just where you want it; you can resize
it into a tall narrow column or into a short wide column, or even rotate it so
that the text reads sideways.

Resizing
a Text Box

To move a text box, select it so that it has either a
hatched or dotted border. Then, move the cursor over the border of the text box
until the pointer becomes a four-headed arrow, and then drag the text box to
its new location.

Nudging
a Text Box into Position

Sometimes you may want to move a text box slightly in one
direction or another, but you find that using the mouse doesn't give you the
degree of control you want. You can achieve finer control of movement by using
the arrow keys on your keyboard.

To
do so, click anywhere in the text box so that its borders become visible, and
then click a border to select the text box. Next, press the arrow keys to move
the text box. A single keystroke moves the text box a single increment, while
holding an arrow key down keeps the text box moving.

If granularity of movement is really important to you and
you want as much control as possible, you can cover less distance with each
keystroke by first zooming in on the document. To cover a greater distance with
each keystroke, zoom out. You can zoom out or in by clicking Zoom on the View menu.
