How to Make a Six-Page Booklet
By Emmanuelle Douglas
Booklets are used to provide information about your business or project in a condensed folded-page format. They can be created by using template galleries that are available online or on your computer. When selecting a booklet from the template gallery, use the one that will best represent your booklet needs. The template gallery will display a preview of templates. Customize the template to the number of pages needed in your booklet project.
