Tri-Fold Pamphlet
Pamphlets often have a banner at the top of the first
page, like this one, to help create a brand or identity.

The following will help you make your
pamphlet work!
All the text in this tri-fold is in one continuous
flow, and starting here. This text is just filler content
which you will delete when you are ready to start
building your pamphlet, but it contains some tips
and hints for using this template. We highly
recommend you print this before altering or deleting
any of this text!
This is a template for

columns 4, 5, and 6 (Figure 1 is looking at the back
side of the pamphlet.)

If you printed this on double-sided paper and
folded it into thirds, you’d see why this is the first
page and how the text flows from page to page.
This inserted box is a kind of graphic called a
textbox. It is often used to hold a table of contents
or preview.

How It All Works
Using Text Styles
This document has several different Microsoft®
Word text styles that you may find useful. See
Microsoft® Word manuals and help guides for more
information about styles. The names of these styles
start with the word “Pamphlet - ” to distinguish
them from other styles in the Styles list. The body
text you’re reading right now is in the “Body text”
style, which uses the Garamond typeface. The
headlines and other styles use various forms of the
Franklin Gothic typeface. These include styles for
“Headline,” “Sub-headline,” “Pull quote” and
“Pull quote attribution,” “Image caption,” and
“Page footer.” If you modify the definition of a
style (the typeface, point size, spacing, and so forth),
it changes the text wherever that style is being
used—which is a good way to change the look of
your pamphlet—but could end up moving things
around and making your text longer or shorter.
Using Images
few different kinds of text-wrapping: one that can
make the text wrap closely (like in Figures 1 & 4);
another can make text surround the box that
contains the image (like the banner at the beginning
of page 1, the table of contents text box at the
bottom of page 1,
the pull quote,
figures 2 & 3, and
the text box at the
end of page 6).
You can also set
images between

Text Wrapping
Text wrapping determines how close the text of
the article (this text) comes to an image. There are a

adjust its size after you have copied it, or the size of
the canvas in which it is contained.

Because all the pages are one continuous flow, a
change in an earlier page can change the spacing of a
later page. If your text has overflowed to a third
page, you’ll need to remove some text or change the
size or number of your images.
On the other hand, if there is a large
unintentional blank space at the end, this means that
you didn’t have enough text, and you may need to
add more text, add more images, or make the images
larger.
After all your content has been added, you will
need to rearrange things to fit—edit text, move
images around, change images’ sizes, and so forth.
Important note. Images in Microsoft® Word tend
to move around while you’re working with text, so
work on fitting the text first and then alter and move
the images afterward. You may need to repeat this
sequence a few times to get everything to fit the way
you want it.
Remember to print these instructions before
you start changing things so you can refer to
them later!
A “Greeked” Headline
With a “Greeked” Sub-headline!
The rest of the text of this pamphlet uses
“greeking”—phony text—so you can see what it
looks like without actual text.
