I rarely use Word or Word office. I just need to make a flyer once or twice a year. What do you suggest?

    For making flyers once or twice a year, Word or PowerPoint are the recommended Microsoft 365 apps for that scenario. Microsoft specifically recommends Word or PowerPoint for ads or flyers.

    A simple option is:

    1. Open Word or PowerPoint.
    2. Go to File > New.
    3. Search for a flyer template, or browse templates.
    4. Replace the sample text and pictures with the needed content.

    If only occasional use is needed, Word is usually the easiest starting point because it supports creating documents from templates and adding text and pictures from the Insert tab. If a more visual, poster-style layout is preferred, PowerPoint is also a recommended choice for flyers.

    If Publisher is currently being considered, note that Microsoft Publisher will no longer be supported after October 2026.

    The most economical is one which you should already have: Apple's Pages.app which can export in a variety of file types [i.e., PDF, ePub, Word, etc.].

    For other options search the web using criteria such as mac desktop publishing software. If you intend to distribute digitally confirm that the one you choose can export in a universally compatible file type.
