Template for 17x11 ledger brochure 4 panels each side

[Tami.z]

Looking for a Publisher template for a brochure, 17 x 11 (ledger) paper, four
panels each side. Any help would be appreciated.

Best way is to setup your printer for tabloid and then create your brochure.
Insert a page for side two.

You can take a look at Publisher's built in templates for ideas, but there will
not be any templates for tabloid stock. The four panel templates presented in
Publisher are usually created on legal stock.

If you need help setting up your brochure post back.

That's helpful, but I don't know what margins to set up for four panels.
I've designed dozens of brochures in letter size trifold, but this one's got
me a bit stumped.

Use the Grid Guides. On the Menu, Arrange, Layout Guides. Grid Guides tab, 4
columns, you will have to judge for yourself how to set your margins and spacing
between columns.

If you are using your personal printer then you should set the margins within
the printer's limitations. There is a tutorial here:

In some instances of brochures the column spacing is the margin number doubled.
It depends on how you fold your brochure. There is a free sample Word template
here that might help with your layout
