This tutorial gives the illustrated step by step instructions to create a Computer Classes Flyer using the Business Application - Microsoft Word.
Microsoft Word Computer Classes Flyer
The Computer Classes Flyer is a very simple flyer that looks like you took some time to create it.
The first thing that you will add to the Flyer is a Rectangle. On the Ribbon, select the Insert Tab.
Microsoft Word Illustrations Group - Shapes
In the Illustrations Group select Shapes > Rectangle (the 4th shape in Recently Used Shapes or the 1st shape in Rectangles).

The Public Domain Vector Clip Art for this Computer Classes Flyer was downloaded from the Open Clip Art Library.
Open Clip Art Library - Computer Clipart
The Clip Art is called Cartoon Computer and Desktop by DTRave.
Once the image has been downloaded, you will need to place it into the flyer.
In Adobe Illustrator, OpenOffice Draw, Inkscape, Corel Draw and Microsoft Publisher, you are able to freely move an Image anywhere on the canvas. This is also possible in Microsoft Word as long as you first place the Image within a Text Box.
To Insert a Text Box, go back to the Ribbon and select the Insert Tab.
Microsoft Word Text Group - Text Box
Then go to the Text Group and select Text Box.
At the bottom of the Built-In Window, select Draw Text Box.

While holding down your mouse button, drag and draw a Text Box on the Flyer.
The Text Box will have 8 Handles around it for resizing.

Since drawing the Text Box, notice that the Ribbon has changed to the Format Tab.
Go back to the Insert Tab and click on the Picture Icon in the Illustrations Group.
Microsoft Word Illustrations Group - Picture
This allows you to Insert a Picture from File.
Microsoft Word Insert Picture Window
It opens up the Insert Picture Window, where you can select your file and then click Insert.
Be certain that your images are in a format that will be recognized by Microsoft Word.
These images are saved in PNG (Portable Network Graphics) Format.
Once the Image has been inserted, Resize it by selecting one of the Circles and holding down the Ctrl and Shift Keys together, so that you don't get a disproportionate Image.
