Guidelines & tips:
- Use CTRL+A and CTRL+C to copy the whole web page. (Text and pictures)
- Use a brochure template in Word. Delete all the content and Paste your copy of the web page in it’s place. This should produce a basic 4 page brochure.
Now clean up and reduce this brochure to 2 pages.
- Convert all 7 tables to text (menu Table/Convert/Enter).
- Convert each image to IN LINE WITH TEXT and reposition them as the last character of a paragraph. Precede each with a SHIFT+ENTER.(Avoid using this very long procedure: Lock each image to a paragraph. Refer to the web page. Note only the images with White handles need to be locked.)
- Select all and convert text to 8 points. Don’t bother changing the font.
- Replace all LINE BREAKS with ONE SPACE.
- Delete all EMPTY PARAGRAPH MARKS.
- Remove the 5 orange oval buttons at the bottom of the document. They provide no information in a brochure.
- Insert a column break before the Grouting section, since we want it at the top of a page.
- Resize the tool checklist and small floor plan so they fit on the first page.
- Resize any photographs to improve visibility or document organization. Make sure you fill exactly 2 pages.
- Preview to judge your final product.
Congratulations!
