im making a brochure and i used the TextEdit, i have everything down but i really dont know how to create the brochure on it and make it print out front and back. It needs to be in 3 sections, the paper folded in 3 sections. can anyone plz help me =]

I don’t think TextEdit is capable of doing this but this is what I found in the Help section of Text Edit.
You might look through the Help menu to see if there is more that can help you.
You need a program like iWork’s Pages. See if you have that on your Mac because it comes on some of them and you might have to purchase it on others.

Formatting your document
You can set margins, paragraph indentation, and text tabs by using the ruler in TextEdit. You can also insert page breaks and line breaks where you need them.

There are four kinds of tab stops and two types of margins, each indicated by a differently shaped icon:

A right-facing triangle indicates a tab stop at which text will be left-justified.

A diamond indicates a tab stop at which text will be centered.

A left-facing triangle indicates a tab stop at which text will be right-justified.

A circle indicates a decimal tab stop at which numbers will be justified around a decimal point.

A downward-facing triangle indicates a page margin.

A horizontal rectangle indicates the indentation of the first line of a paragraph.

To make the ruler appear (if you don’t already see it), choose Format > Text > Show Ruler.
To place a tab stop, select one from the tab stop palette on the right side of the ruler and drag it into place above the ruler, or select a stop that is already in place and drag it to a new location.
To remove a tab stop, drag it off the ruler.
To change a margin, drag the left or right margin icon to a new location.
To change the paragraph indentation, drag the indentation icon to a new location.
To add a line break, choose Edit > Insert > Line Break.
To insert a page break, choose Edit > Insert > Page Break. To remove the page break, press Delete.
Only Rich Text Format (RTF) documents and Word Format files can be formatted. To convert your document to an RTF file, choose Format > Make Rich Text. To save a document as a Word Format file, choose File > Save As and choose Word Format from the File Format pop-up menu.

    Never Underestimate the Value of Professional Water Damage Cleanup

    I didn’t realize how much damage water could do until a pipe blew at our little car repair business. None of the heavy equipment was damaged but we had to stop operations during the water damage cleanup. I didn’t even know where to start and we generally just tried to put everything where they were supposed to be and mop up as much of the water as possible. After a couple of days of trying to assess the damage and getting things back to normal, I finally decided to try looking up a number that I could call to help us out. I found a water damage Orlando restoration company to call and thankfully they had 24 hour service. They gave me a free telephone consultation and also threw in a free visual inspection. Calling them was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my business. They got the repair shop back to normal in a lot less time than I expected and we were back in business before I knew it. They were definitely professionals and handled the water damage quickly and thoroughly. I took them up on their insurance billing services too. Not having to deal with insurance too much was a real load off, and it gave me more time to work on the repair shop. I’m glad I found a number to call for this kind of emergency. I would suggest that you look for a restoration services company now and have the number handy when the time comes that you need it.
