What Are Brochure Templates?
Brochure templates can come in almost any size – including standard trifold designs, simple booklets, card-style or single page elements. A solid template is that it creates a guideline for the design.
A design template will likely have a visual theme – colors, fonts and even icons or imagery – and allow for customization. Most designers download a brochure template that matches the size and project type – such as a standard 8.5 inch by 11 inch trifold – for a certain type of software. (Many brochure templates are downloadable Adobe InDesign or Microsoft Word files.)
One of the key benefits of starting with a brochure template is that you can quickly create a design that you like with a minimal budget. With a template, you should be able to insert your copy and images, substitute a color palette if you like and have a brochure that’s ready for the printer in one sitting.
How to Import a Brochure Template Into Word
Installing a brochure template in Microsoft Word might actually be easier than finding a design you like. (There are so many templates out there to choose from.)
Once you have downloaded the brochure template file, make sure to unzip it.
To import the brochure template into Word follow these steps:

3 Things to Look for In a Brochure Template
Not all brochure templates are created equal. Look for a template that features a professional design. (A template should be of the same design standard as if you were creating it from scratch yourself.) What else should a brochure template include?
- Look for high-quality, high-resolution everything to ensure that your brochure design looks great. That includes images, illustrations, icons and logos, typefaces and sharp color palettes.
- Add a bleed so that images that go off the canvas print well. And make sure your brochure template is sized to your print needs.
- Consider software compatibility. Some templates only come in one file format. Most designs prefer the control of a brochure template in InDesign, while beginners often like Word options.
