How to Create a Brochure in Google Docs

To create a brochure in Google Docs, you first need to sign into your Google account. If you don't have one, create a Google account first before you continue with these steps. Navigate to docs.google.com in a web browser. Select the Template gallery button in the top right to expand all of the templates. Scroll down to the Work section. Google Docs offers two different brochure templates. Select either Brochure (Modern Writer) or Brochure (Geometric) depending on the style of brochure you want. This tutorial uses the Brochure (Geometric) template. Rename your brochure document by deleting the Brochure text in the File name filed in the top left corner and replacing it with the name that you want. Set the orientation for your brochure. For instance, if your brochure is going to be a pamphlet-style brochure with three columns, you'd need to change the orientation of the page from portrait to landscape. To do this, select File > Page setup. Then select Landscape and customize the margin settings, paper size and page color if necessary. Customize the formatting of your brochure by selecting Format from the top menu. You can change or add the following formatting elements using the dropdown list: Text: Make your text bold, italicized, underlined, etc. You can also adjust the size up or down and set the capitalization.Paragraph styles: Customize the style of your border and shadows, your title, headings and subheading.Align & indent: Set the alignment to right, left, center or justified. Also increase or decrease indentation.Line spacing: Choose how much space you want between each line of text or create a custom setting.Columns: Choose one, two or three columns for your brochure or select More options to create a custom setting.Bullets & numbering: Select styles for your bullet points and numbered lists.Headers & footers: Set your margins and layout for your header and footer.Page numbers: Set the position and starting number for your page numbers. Delete sections or components of the template that you don't want. To delete text, highlight a section of text using your cursor and then press the Delete button on your keyboard.To delete an image, right click on on the image and select Delete. Replace sections or components of the template that you want to keep with your own content.

Collaborating in Google Docs

Creating a brochure in Google Docs is ideal if you're working with at least one other individual on it or if you plan on having it reviewed by someone before it's finalized. Google Doc's sharing and editing features allow you to grant permission to others so they can edit the brochure directly themselves or alternatively leave suggestions for you to review and incorporate into your own edits.
