Unlock Your Creativity: Designing Flyers with MS Word

Let's walk through creating a flyer in Microsoft Word. To create this flyer, I will use pictures, shapes, smart art and text boxes.
I am using a PC for this tutorial. It might be a little different if you are on a Mac.
This applies to 2013-2019 versions of MS Word.
(Note: Wow, I created this video a few years ago! Everything still applies even in the new versions).

[@jattcastro]

[@Forevermoretraining]

Hope your effort paid off. It does take a little practice.

About to make my first flier for an online nursing class. Thank you so much for this video.

[@Forevermoretraining]

So glad it was helpful.

[@rogangranite]

Very informative I enjoyed this quite a lot. I’ll probably have to watch at seven more times before I can get all of you. Well, no not all but a lot of the features. Maybe I’m just an old geezer but it really blew my mind. I wondered what all that stuff was at the top you’ll give me something to try. You’ve encouraged me. I would give you a five star if I could find when I click on the stars.

[@Forevermoretraining]

I'm glad you feel encouraged to give it a try. Stick with it.

[@lovingbritt]

thanks I didn't even know word had these features :)

[@Forevermoretraining]

The features of Word are quite impressive. Especially the newer versions. Older versions of Word, you would have to struggle a little to produce this type of document.

[@shikangaharriet6144]

Thank you, for such a detailed and informative video..

[@Forevermoretraining]

Glad it was helpful!

[@niolait]

Thanks for the lesson you are very clear and sintesized, I didn't try yet but looks likes much better than using photo shop ,
I hope I wish remember all the step like you did I have to stop youtube and watch again your lessons, thank you for the free lessons.

[@Forevermoretraining]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I think the learning curve for Word is not as steep as Photoshop. There are advantages to both.

[@prasaddalavi9683]

Very Nice ! will copy the same :-)

[@celmasilveira9799]

[@jananusic208]

Nice video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Chiveard Racing World Framework (just google it)? It is an awesome one off product for learning how to start a successful handyman business without the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my old buddy Taylor at last got great results with it.

You're welcome.

[@javzdiver6977]

good job

[@Forevermoretraining]

Thanks for watching.

[@drbarb6323]

It was great up until the smart art. I followed step by step but when I went to enlarge the type, I could not get it to automatically size. I had to do each box separately which screwed up the borders. I finally gave up.

[@insightfulinhorizons]

which format or file type you saved your flyers ?

[@Forevermoretraining]

FlightspottersBD I'm using word 2016. I saved as docx

[@timothealee8611]

Hi, I was wondering are you using a windows or mac version of word? And is this version the 2016? Thanks

[@Forevermoretraining]

Hello. On the video, I am using Windows 10 with Word 2016.

[@khadijatbello5521]

Tthanks now i can creat a flyer.

[@Forevermoretraining]

Always a good skill to have.

[@robv3872]

for creative commons licensed images - do you have to show the author and credit them? I didn't see that on this video, but when I insert images found with the creative commons filter they come with a footnote.

[@Forevermoretraining]

I think the newer version of Office does include the textbox with author credits. I try not to use an image if it is not free to share and use. Otherwise, yes, you should give credit.

[@shhadowSlayerYt]

You are an 👼

[@rachschirag5936]

U keep doing it nicely but i m so dumb. Kindly explain in detail about each and every move of yours.

[@mimiallen7873]

This was extremely helpful, just a tad too fast. I had to stop many times. I just created a flyer for my daughter's school for parents - it came out excellent. Thanks for your help.

[@Forevermoretraining]

I agree, I do go quickly in the video than I would a classroom situation. Take goodness for pause:) I'm so glad the video helped.

[@dharmitthakkar5902]

Can you plz explain how do I insert my logo?

[@Forevermoretraining]

If you already have a logo created, then you simply need to go to the Insert tab - Pictures - This device. Then browse to the location of the logo. (Instructions are for Word 2019).

[@elsymatthew4653]

Can this be saved as a picture in Pictures drive?

[@Forevermoretraining]

I'm not sure what Pictures drive is? Sorry I can't answer this.

[@analoguepete]

in Office 2016 for the Mac you cannot send to back or bring to front this is completely bogus

[@Forevermoretraining]

The video was created with PC use in mind. I know Office for Mac is a little different. Sorry you did not get much from the video.

[@luigiymara]

not so hard my a##!

[@gcsindia528]

Too fast

[@hhunt1977]

Ok first of all slow down!!!! I have hit pause about 3 hundred times!!!

[@Forevermoretraining]

Yeah, I can go quick. Would it help to have written instructions?

It is not a step-by-step tutorial, but maybe it will help. It was the handout I gave when I did the training to a group.
