Making a virtual 3fold brochure?

pengyou · 11-03-2007, 08:19 AM

I am making my annual newsletter now and have decided to make this one only digital. I usually have a 3fold printed brochure. I am wondering if there is an application that I can use to created an e-brochure that will look like a 3 fold brochure, i.e. can click one the page and it will show you the second panel, or 3rd panel or will flip to the back. I am hoping this will be delivered by email but may post it on the web.

i've used opus pro for this sort of thing before, but opus creator is cheaper and would probably be good enough. or you could use powerpoint if you have microsof office installed.

Thanks! Can you tell me the generic name for this kind of software? I want to be able to google and hopefully find freeware :)

try
"muitlmedia authoring"

i'm not really sure. this could give you a lot of hits on web design - which would be similar in theory, but different on setup. i know opus lets you specify when publishing to what will the end user be using.
stand alone .exe file
or
web html code
or
screen saver (which is similar to the .exe type)
