  ha well making powerpoints is stupidly big part of my day job, so I've picked up some tips. What is tripping you up? What to write, or just formatting it?

  Mostly the formatting! I suck at it. I've tried it in Powerpoint and then switched to Word, but it's really not going any easier there.
  
  I just can't make it pretty!

  I much prefer PowerPoint for anything involving layouts. My template is probably a little wack b/c I just use text boxes for every little section, when it's probably not necessary. I'm happy to look at it if you're looking for specific suggestions. 

  
  

  Generally, I find that exploring fonts beyond Arial/Times/Helvetica makes a huge impact on the look. MS Office has a decent selection of fonts, or you can always download free fonts from sites like dafont.com. And usually smaller font sizes look nicer, with larger or bolded headers. But I would write up all the content for the brochure and get the text roughly in the part of the template you want it on, and then start worrying about formatting/layouts/headers/grapics as the final step. HTH!

  Thanks, Bmore!
  
  I eventually made it work in Word, but it was a massive hassle. I'm going to send to you so you can tell me what you think . . . if you have a second. If not, I still have 2 months to figure it out!
