About Suzanne S. Barnhill
Expertise
I've been using Word for Windows since version 2.0 (1992), and the more I learn
about it, the more I realize how little I know. But I may know a few things
that you don't, and I'll help if I can. I answer many questions every day in
Microsoft's peer support newsgroups and as a result have been awarded the
MVP (Most Valuable Professional) designation by Microsoft Corporation. You
may be able to find the answer to your question at the Word MVPs' FAQ site or at my own Word FAQ site, so please check those first! Please, no questions about VBA (macros), Registry editing, networks, or complex merges, as I have no experience with these aspects of Word, nor do I have any experience with Word for the Mac.
Experience
I have a master's degree in classics (Latin), which is surprisingly helpful, though I no longer teach. The things I am proudest of: Having raised two children to maturity, both Merit Scholars, both college graduates (one a philosophy major!), one Phi Beta Kappa (from Harvard!); having been made a Paul Harris Fellow by my Rotary club; having been designated a Microsoft MVP.
Education/Credentials
B.A. (Latin), Agnes Scott College, 1966; M.A. (Classics), Emory University, 1972.

Expert: Suzanne S. Barnhill - 11/8/2009
Question
How do I make a pamphlet with three columns and how do I put the a logo on the front of pamphlet
Answer
There's a discussion of working with columns at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/UsingColumns.htm (this article provides an example of a four-panel brochure).
You put a logo on the pamphlet the same way you would put any graphic image anywhere in any Word document, using Insert | Picture | From File. If you can arrange to leave it In Line With Text, it will be easiest to deal with. If you really need to wrap text beside it, then give it Square or Tight wrapping, but be aware that dealing with placement of wrapped graphics in multiple columns is even more frustrating than in single-column text.
I might add that, if you have Publisher, it may be easier for you, as it provides many brochure templates. Or you might want to start with one of the templates found at http://office.microsoft.com/templates/default.aspx? A caveat, however: Word templates for brochures, newsletters, and the like make extensive use of text boxes. While page layout applications such as Publisher require text boxes for text, and while text boxes do allow you to have text "jump" from one page to another farther back (not something you usually need to do for a brochure), they are counter to Word's primary use as a word processor. You can create "columns" artificially using text boxes, but using Word's newspaper-style columns gives you much more freedom to format your content because you can use any of Word's features (except columns) in a column, whereas you cannot, for example, wrap text around a graphic in a text box.
