By "brochure", we'll assume you me a "tri-fold" brochure: meaning that if you fold the paper in thirds, as you would for putting a letter into an envelope, you have 3 "panels" on each side of the paper.

This requires some fairly advanced knowledge of Microsoft Word. And, if you want it printed on both sides of the paper, you will need to experiment with how to turn the paper to print on the second side.

There are several approaches you can take, all of which are really to complicated to explain in text, but here goes...

1) Set your page orientation to landscape

2) Set your margins to all be equal, to whatever size you prefer

3) Insert a one row, three column table. This will break your page width into three equal panels.

OR, even better if you now how...

3) Insert a one row, five column table. Then make columns 2 and 4 really skinny, and use these columns to represent the "margin" between each panel. So that, columns 1, 3, and 5 will be exactly the desired width for each "panel".

4) if you know how, set the properties of the table to NOT allow the table to automatically adjust to fit contents. (Select the table, pick Table Properties from the Table menu/ribbon, and find the check box to turn off automatic adjust. )

While you are in the Table Properties, you might wish to set the single row to a fixed height (like 10 inches), and the columns to specific width measurements.

5) Now you can type into each panel, and place text, pictures, etc as desired.

Take your time, be observant, and be patient, and you will build a really nice brochure!

How do you make your Microsoft office 97 work with the office 2007 files?

You can't. I think you are talking about new DOCX standard. In this case only Microsoft Office 2003 with additional patch/plugin can handle this new format. You should avoid using 97 Office, it is not supported anymore. I suggest you going to free alternative (OpenOffice) or updating to 2007 or 2010 Office (coming in few months).
