You’re folding it hotdog style.

It can be helpful to gently curl the sheet with the notches so that it doesn’t get bent or torn while you’re slipping it into the hole. You’ll want to curl it vertically so that the corners come together.

Fold a piece of paper hamburger style. Cut notches little more than one inch (three centimeters) on the crease on both sides. Pick up your original booklet and find the page that exposes the hole (where this falls depends on how many pages you have). Slide your new page into the the hole, curling it a little so that it slides in easily. Do this until you have as many pages as you need.

Find the Page layout tab. It should be located in the icon in the corner of Page Setup.

You can change anything that doesn’t look right and you can add anything that your booklet needs (like page numbers).

If you are manually feeding the paper to the printer make sure that you orient the pages properly. You do not want to end up with upside down pages in your booklet.

You can staple along the fold once you’ve folded the pages.

Something like a booklet about a town should give some general historical information, a map of the town with the important landmarks marked, and telephone numbers for things like taxis or the visitor information center. A booklet could also be something like a leave-behind after a meeting to remind the people at the meeting what they heard, or it could provide information that responds to some sort of query (if you have a specific product, this gives a potential customer the basics of it). There’s also the type of booklet that is made for people to pick up and peruse when they’re standing in line. A booklet of this sort is going to need to look catchy to get people’s attention.

For example: you might want to create an informational booklet about your Alaskan rafting company. On the front you would want to have a color photograph that showcases the best your company has to offer (some tourists in a raft sighting a bear, for instance). If you can’t print in color (which is preferred) make sure that your images look good in black and white.

Break information up with headlines and sub-headlines. Information is more easily digestible when broken up into smaller chunks that are properly labeled.

It’s important to have a strong selling message on the cover, so that potential customers and readers want to check out the rest of the information.
