Microsoft Word Templates
Within Microsoft Word 2007, many enhanced templates have been added. Select the Microsoft Office button and click on the “New” menu item. In the template window, click on the word “Flyers” in the left menu. From there, select any of the flyers that meet your needs for style and layout. Microsoft Word has templates including advertising flyers setup as door hangers, Easter events, real estate layouts, and many others.
Scroll through the list and select the look you want. Double-click on the icon to select and open the template of the specific advertising flyer you want to use. From there you may customize the flyer by changing colors, graphics, and text.

Summary
If I were to provide one hint with using free examples of advertising flyers, it would be that you must customize the flyer. When using flyers found through Microsoft Word and online for free, there is a good chance that someone else in your town has used the template. By customizing colors and graphics, the flyer takes on an entirely different look with little effort.
