Don’t you wish you could open your own letterhead or marketing documents in Word just like it was a pre-designed layout from Microsoft’s free template library? You can! A document saved as a Microsoft Word Template creates a copy of the original with each new use. This makes creating new projects convenient and you’ll never overwrite your original document. In the example below, I will show you how to save a StockLayouts flyer layout as a Word Template for future use.
1. Open or create your marketing piece.
2. Edit the design to your company’s specifications.
3. Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Save As > Word Template.
4. In the Save As dialog box, do one of the following:
On a computer that is running Windows Vista, under Favorite Links, click Templates.
On a computer that is running Windows XP, under Save in, click Trusted Templates.
5. Give the new template a file name, select Word Template in the Save as type list, and then click Save.
When you are ready to start a new project with this design:
Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click New.
In the New Document dialog box click New from Existing under Templates.
Navigate to your design and click Create new.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or adjusting an existing design, creating an 11 x 25.5″ tri-fold brochure is easy. In this post I will show you how to quickly set up a brochure of this size, or simply edit one that has already been created. For this demonstration, I started with a standard 11 x 17″ bi‑fold brochure template that I got from StockLayouts.com and I reused the graphics to create an 11 x 25.5″ tri-fold brochure. By simply adjusting the width of the document by 8.5″, I created the additional folded panel. Now, I have a third more space in which to promote my product or service. To get started on your design, follow these instructions:
1. Open your brochure file
Open your own 11 x 17″ brochure file, or purchase and download a StockLayouts template like the one I’ve used in this example.
2. Adjust your page size.
Change your width to 25.5″. Your page height should already be set to 11″.
3. Lay out your design using the guides below.
Outside (Page 1)
Inside (Page 2)
4. Save and send to print.
Remember that your home or office printer probably cannot print the required size of paper. Be sure to take your design to your favorite printer for the best results. Also note that, due to Microsoft Word’s limit on page size, you cannot create an 11 x 25.5″ brochure in that application. Microsoft Publisher is a great alternative.
Don’t stop at brochures. You can create newsletters, catalogs, menus, reports, and more. And do yourself a favor as I did by using pre-designed layouts, with photos and artwork from graphic design template providers, such as StockLayouts.

For information about setting up a standard 8.5 x 11″ tri-fold brochure, read our article about tri-fold brochure dimensions.
When designing a marketing piece, your layout might require an image to be a shape other than a square or rectangle. Publisher makes this easy. You can put images in circles, rectangles with rounded corners, triangles, or any number of shapes available in Publisher. In this tutorial, I will show you how to insert a picture into a triangle shape.
In this example, I will be using a travel postcard template from Stocklayouts. We already have a triangle shape in our layout, so we can begin with changing the shape’s image.
Fill the Shape with an Image
First you will need to size the image properly to match your shape.
Insert the image into the layout. Click Insert > Picture, then select an image.
With the image on top using the shape as a guide, crop the image to match the dimensions of the shape. Crop to the top, bottom, right and left points or to the edges of the shape.
To crop a picture, select an image, click Picture > Crop Need more help?How to Crop a Picture in Microsoft Publisher
Next you will save the cropped image.
Right click on the image and choose ‘Save as Picture’.
Save the image to a location on your computer. The default name will be Picture1.png.
Delete the image from your layout. Next, We will reinsert the saved image from the file into the shape.
Now you can insert your cropped image into the shape.
Select the shape.
Click Drawing Tools, and then choose Format > Shape Fill > Picture on the Shape Styles section.
Navigate to the location on your computer where you saved Picture1.png.
Select Picture1.png and click Insert.
Advanced Users: Edit Shape Points
If your shape isn’t exactly the shape you need, you have the option to edit the points.
Businesses often need to send or post their completed newsletter or brochure online. The easiest and most practical format for distributing a document is the PDF. The PDF is superior to other formats because everyone has access to it, your document maintains its format, and you can secure the document from being edited. However, if your document is an 11 x 17″ spread designed for print, you will need to divide the document into single 8.5 x 11″ consecutive pages in order to make it view and read correctly.
There are two methods for dividing your print layout: by cropping your PDF after it has been created, or by manually dividing the content on each 11 x 17″ spread and cutting and pasting the elements into a new 8.5 x 11″ document. The second option may require quite a bit of additional editing.
Method 1:
Create and crop a PDF in Adobe Acrobat
The fastest way to separate your layout into individual pages, while maintaining the design integrity, is to create a PDF of the document and crop it using Adobe Acrobat. If your text crosses the fold line, you might want to rearrange those elements before creating your PDF.
First create a PDF of your 11 x 17″ document, then follow these steps:
Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat.
To show the Page Thumbnails panel, click on the Page Thumbnail icon at the top left.
Copy each spread in the Page Thumbnails panel, so you have two of each page. Tip: To copy a page, hold the Ctrl key while dragging the page thumbnail below the selected page.
On the first spread, right click on the Page Thumbnail and choose Crop Pages.
Under margin controls, enter 8.5 into the box for the left margin. Click Ok.
On spread 2, enter 8.5 into the box for the right margin. Click Ok.
On spread 3, enter 8.5 into the box for the right margin. Click Ok.
On spread 4, enter 8.5 into the box for the left margin. Click Ok.
Move the Page Thumbnails as needed to put the pages in their correct order.
Finally, save your new 8.5 x 11″ document as a PDF.
Method 2:
Manually cut and paste the layout text and graphics into a new document
If you do not have Adobe Acrobat, you can still manually divide the content from the 11 x 17″ document into single 8.5 x 11″ consecutive pages. You may have to readjust text or graphics to fit the smaller page size.
Open your existing 11 x 17″ document.
Create a new 8.5 x 11″ blank document with four pages.
Select the individual text and graphic objects from the right half of your first spread.
Tri-fold brochures are one of the most commonly used marketing materials, but can be one of the most challenging to design. There are many details to consider when laying out a tri-fold brochure, including paper size, fold lines, content layout, and file preparation. This article serves as your guide for setting up a tri-fold brochure for professional printing.
Paper size
The possibilities are endless when it comes to choosing the size of your brochure. There are no limits to your creativity, nor should there be in your design. However, if you want to create something easy to design and print, you may want to stick with one of the standard sizes below. Throughout the rest of this post I will focus on the most common brochure size, the 8.5″ x 11″ tri‑fold.
8.5″ x 11″ (Letter)
The standard ‘tri-fold’ is actually three panels with only two fold lines. It can be handed out, placed in a brochure rack, or easily mailed. This size is also often used for take-out menus.
8.5″ x 14″ (Legal)
Legal size tri-folds are not as common, but are still used today. With three extra inches of total length, each of your panels will allow a bit more space for content.
11″ x 17″ (Tabloid)
Although frequently used as a half-fold brochure or menu, this paper size can also be used as a tri-fold.
11″ x 25.5″
The much larger 11″ x 25.5″ brochure is comprised of three 8.5″ x 11″ panels, and is used for lengthy, more robust brochures.
Fold Lines
Novice designers assume that a tri-fold brochure folds into three equal parts, but this is not the case. A little extra room is required to account for the thickness of the paper in the fold. While creating a design with three slightly unequal panels isn’t the end of the world, your result will be more professional if you make this adjustment. Below are the correct fold lines for an 8.5″ x 11″ tri‑fold brochure or pamphlet:
The outside spread of your layout consists of the top of your inside flap, back cover, and the front cover. Please note that the graphics on each panel will stand alone when the brochure is folded. This doesn’t mean you can’t design across the panels, but double check that each panel looks good on its own.
Inside Spread
The inside spread lays flat when opened and the design does not necessarily have to be compartmentalized into panels. Your design will look more fluid if you design across the page.
Print ready
For optimal print results, it is important to make your file print-ready. Most printers require full bleeds in a design. The graphics in your design should extend .25″ beyond the paper size (.125″ on each side). Also be sure to lay out text and important graphics within the safe zone, a .125″ area within the paper size. You can print your design on any stock paper of your choosing, but brochures are generally printed on 80 to 100 lb. stock. Ask your printer for their recommendation if necessary.

Working with pictures and graphics in Microsoft Word is easy when you know what to do. Use the tips in this helpful editing guide and watch the tutorial video below to see just how easy it is.
Insert a Picture or Logo
On the Insert menu, click on Picture, and then click From File.
Browse to locate the picture you want to insert.
Double-click the picture you want to insert.
Move a Picture or Graphic Anywhere on a Page
You may notice that you can’t move an inserted picture or graphic freely around on the page. This is an easy fix:
Click on the Picture Tools tab.
Under Arrange, select Text Wrapping.
Choose In Front of Text.
Now, you can freely move the graphic around the page and move it to the desired location.
Move a Picture or Graphic Forward or Backward
If your photo or clip art is overlapping other graphics and text, you may want to move it forward or backward.
Select the image.
In the Picture Tools tab select Send to Back.
Use these tools to move graphics forward and backward one position at a time, or all the way to the front or back.
Resize or Crop a Picture
When an image is too big for the space, or not the right shape, you’ll want to crop or scale it. Remember not to distort the image by sizing it up or adjusting from the edges. Scale the graphic down by clicking on a corner and moving your mouse inward towards the center of the image. If you just want to reduce the size on one or more sides, select the crop tool and use the handlebars to make the appropriate adjustment.
To Resize:
Click the picture or shape you want to resize.
Drag a sizing handle away from or toward the center.
To Crop:
Select the picture that you want to crop.
Under Picture Tools, on the Format tab, in the Size group, click Crop.
Drag the cropping handles on that side or corner you want to adjust.
Note: Vector artwork can be scaled without loss of picture quality.
Make a Picture into a Shape
If you have the need, you can make your photo a circle or other shape.
On the Insert tab, click on Shapes.
Draw your shape on the page.
Under the Drawing Tools tab, click Fill Shape and choose Picture.
Navigate to the photo you would like to insert into your shape.
Under the Drawing Tools tab, change the shape outline to no outline.
Edit the Color of a Shape or Clip Art
You can easily change the color of vector graphics or clip art in your layout.
Select the graphic.
Go to the Drawing Tools tab.
Click on Shape Fill and select a color.

If you have an 11 x 17″ Word document that is larger than your office printer can print, you might want to reduce or scale it to print on an 8.5 x 11″ paper size. There are two ways you can reduce a Word document to fit on a smaller paper size. You can ‘Scale to Paper Size’ directly in Microsoft Word or, for more print sizing control, you can create a PDF in Word and then choose from many print options available in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Option 1: Export Word document to PDF and print using Acrobat Reader
Requirements: Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat Reader Acrobat Reader offers more choices for Page Sizing than Microsoft Word for printing documents. You’ll need Adobe Acrobat Reader, in addition to Microsoft Word, to create and print your PDF document. You can download Acrobat Reader for free from Adobe if you don’t already have it on your system. First, you’ll open your document in Microsoft Word and export it as a PDF. Then, you’ll open the PDF file in Acrobat Reader and select options to print.
Open your document in Microsoft Word
Select File > Export.
Choose Create PDF/XPS Document and click the Create PDF/XPS button
Save the file on your computer.
Now, open the exported PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Select File > Print
Under Page Sizing & Handling, you can choose from several options. The “Fit” option shrinks the entire page to fit to the defined Page Setup. The “Custom Scale” option allows you to enter an exact percentage. For example, 78% will reduce an 11 x 17″ document to fit the width of an 8.5 x 11″ page, trimming the top and bottom of the document when it’s printed. Likewise, 63% will reduce an 11 x 17″ document to fit the height of an 8.5 x 11″ page, leaving white space on the left and right side of document when it’s printed. The preview window shows the original size of the document and the area that will be printed on the page.
Option 2: Scale to paper size and print using Microsoft Word
Requirements:Microsoft Word To print an 11 x 17″ Word document to fit on an 8.5 x 11″ page, you can print and scale to paper size directly in Word.
Open document in Microsoft Word
Select File > Print > Choose 1 Page Per Sheet > Scale to Paper Size > Select Letter 8.5 x 11″.
This will scale the entire document, regardless of its original size, to fit on an 8.5 x 11″ page when it’s printed. Unlike the option to print a PDF from Acrobat Reader, you do not have the choice to set specific percentages for scaling in Microsoft Word.
Need to create posters or flyers? Get a head start with graphic design templates from StockLayouts. Choose from thousands of pre-designed Word templates for creating a variety of business marketing materials. Remember, you can scale any size Word document to print on the paper size you want.

However, if your document is an 11 x 17″ spread designed for print, you will need to divide the document into single 8.5 x 11″ consecutive pages in order to make it view and read correctly.
