A printed publication called a brochure is known to each of us. When a brochure is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is a small book that contains promotional or curriculum information. The description of the brochure found on the Internet also characterizes it as a printed, non-periodical book edition, derived from the French word brocher - to stitch.
The text content of the brochure has slightly departed from the original, today the material filling the brochure is for reference or advertising. The capacity of the brochure and the ability not only to tell about the product, but also to show it, thanks to colorful illustrations, made the brochure one of the most popular advertising media. A reputable company must have in its arsenal not only business cards, booklets, leaflets or catalogs, but also a brochure that can, at minimal cost, convey detailed information to a large number of potential customers. A brochure, unlike a booklet or leaflet, inspires confidence, it is pleasant to hold it in your hands and flip through the pages. A well-made design, well-chosen and thoughtful text, pleasant paper quality, bright illustrations are able to hold the reader's attention, but we should not forget about such an important factor on the way to perfection as the way our brochure is fastened. The thickness of the brochure depends on the number of pages, therefore, the binding must be carefully selected. The main task of the brochure, except of course the task of information, is not to end up in the waste paper basket, but to last as long as possible.
1 Among the many ways of fastening pages that are successful with customers, the stapling method can be called a staple. The method is reliable, time-tested, economical. The option of stapling with a paper clip is well known to us since childhood, thus, they sewed, and continue to fasten ordinary notebooks. The so-called “saddle” sewing option, when the ends of the staple or paper clip pierce the middle of the root fold in two or more places, and are fixed, tightly fastening the sheets of the product. Another option for stapling with a paper clip is called sewing in a wheelbarrow, here the staple pierces the fold of the spine from the front side, and the ends of the staples are clamped, not inside the brochure, but on its reverse side. Both staple binding options have their pros and cons. If the customer chooses the “push-in” fastening method, then the product fastened in this way will not open enough. Which of course will affect its overall appearance and the life of the brochure. But if the ordered brochure has a small number of sheets not exceeding 60 pages, then the staple binding method is better than any other. You can also sew a block of the product with the help of threads; this method of stitching is used if the product has a cover and contains a large number of sheets. The sheets are connected and stitched with a thread, and then with the help of hot glue, the cover is attached to the product.
2 A brochure that has a large number of pages, assuming a soft cover, can be bound using the CBS method, which means glueless binding. A brochure bound this way looks great. A small disadvantage of such a fastening is the same impossibility to put the brochure open, and since the brochure contains illustrations in addition to text, difficulties cannot be avoided during full viewing. The service life of a brochure made with the help of KBS is several years, and all this time the pages of our brochure can be opened constantly without fear of causing any damage to its appearance. Despite the fact that with the help of KBS, the brochure has a rather solid appearance, it is also necessary to take into account the fact that not all materials are suitable for this method of binding. Some types of thick paper, such as coated paper, are difficult to glue together, in which case it is necessary to choose another, more suitable method.
3 Brochure binding with a spring is considered to be the most spectacular and elegant. The brochure on a spring disposes to itself, inspires confidence. As a rule, the spring that fastens the sheets of a brochure is metal or plastic. The cover of such a brochure can be both soft and hard, made using various design materials. The use of embossed cardstock makes it easy to make a brochure stand out from others. This spring-bound brochure has the fullest spread, requires page changes, and will last longer than most for your campaign. In addition, brochures on the spring are distinguished by the ability to have both a minimum number of pages and a maximum.
4 A close relative of spring binding brochures, this is a bolt/ring variant of brochure binding. The color scheme in the case of choosing such a fastening is more extensive, and the fan fastening will give the brochure an original look.
In any case, which option of the binding method for a brochure you would not prefer, remember that the last of the printing manufacturing processes, of course, gives the finished look to the brochure, but first of all it serves for convenient and long-term use, while delighting customers with its appearance.

How to merge all pages of a book in excel into one? then you need to make a selection and get the best answer
Answer from Ўlya Pavlova[guru]
It makes sense to merge the sheets of a book if these sheets contain the original data entered according to the same structure on each sheet. This can be done by copying the values from the sheet to the shared sheet.
If the sheets contain formulas, and even with various links, then copying will ruin all the work. Links must be relative.
Remember that the value of Excel is precisely in the formulas that are automatically calculated.
And if you work only with data, albeit in tabular form, then you can easily get by with Word tables, where tables allow you to add visible rows similar in structure from other tables by copying or transferring through the buffer, but there are no calculated formulas there.
Selection in Excel can be done from several sheets, in a loop moving from sheet to sheet in the order of the sheets, or in the list of sheet names. All you need to do is create a cycle.

Answer from Ozer Honest[guru]
Well, of course, there is no way to "combine" the sheets. Is that to copy all the information from them to one. Weird question. How does the program know how to arrange the information in a hypothetical "merge"? And there was never a need for such a thing. You describe what you need - somehow it will be clearer. And 100 or more sheets can easily be described in some situations by one formula. Well, no - still Visual Basic remains.
Answer from Irina Korchagina[newbie]
No need to merge pages
To summarize and report results from separate worksheets, you can consolidate data from each sheet into a master worksheet. The sheets can be in the same workbook as the master worksheet, or in other workbooks. When you consolidate data, you assemble data so that you can more easily update and aggregate as necessary.
For example, if you have an expense worksheet for each of your regional offices, you might use consolidation to roll these figures into a master corporate expense worksheet. This master worksheet might also contain sales totals and averages, current inventory levels, and highest selling products for the entire enterprise.
tip: If you frequently consolidate data, it might help to create new worksheets from a worksheet template that uses a consistent layout. To learn more about Templates, see: Create a template. This is also an ideal time to set up your template with Excel tables .
Ways to consolidate data
There are two ways to consolidate data, either by position or category.
Consolidation by position: The data in the source areas has the same order, and uses the same labels. Use this method to consolidate data from a series of worksheets, such as departmental budget worksheets that have been created from the same template.
Consolidation by category: When the data in the source areas is not arranged in the same order but uses the same labels. Use this method to consolidate data from a series of worksheets that have different layouts but have the same data labels.
Consolidating data by category is similar to creating a PivotTable. With a PivotTable, however, you can easily reorganize the categories. Consider creating a PivotTable if you need more flexible consolidation by category.
Note: The examples in this article were created with Excel 2016. Though your view may differ if you"re using another version of Excel, the steps are the same.
How to consolidate
Follow these steps to consolidate several worksheets into a master worksheet:
Use a formula to consolidate data
If the data to consolidate is in different cells on different worksheets:
Enter a formula with cell references to the other worksheets, one for each separate worksheet. For example, to consolidate data from worksheets named Sales (in cell B4), HR (in cell F5), and Marketing (in cell B9), in cell A2 of the master worksheet, you would enter the following:
tip: To enter a cell reference-such as Sales!B4-in a formula without typing, type the formula up to the point where you need the reference, then click the worksheet tab, and then click the cell. Excel will complete the sheet name and cell address for you. NOTE: formulas in such cases can be error-prone, since it's very easy to accidentally select the wrong cell. It can also be difficult to spot a mistake after entering a complex formula.
If the data to consolidate is in the same cells on different worksheets:
Enter a formula with a 3-D reference that uses a reference to a range of worksheet names. For example, to consolidate data in cells A2 from Sales through Marketing inclusive, in cell E5 of the master worksheet you would enter the following:

How to combine data from multiple sheets in one pivot sheet
Let's say you have a series of sheets, and each sheet contains a sales report for a specific product category. The add-in will help you copy all these individual reports and combine the data into one summary sheet.
- Click the Merge Sheets button > Select Merge Data from Multiple Sheets into One Sheet.
- Click the Merge button > Done, all the data from the selected sheets are merged into one master sheet in the new workbook.
How to combine data from sheets with the same name on one pivot sheet
Let's say you have a number of books, and each one contains a regional sales report. Each report is divided into sheets with data on specific products - thus, the tabs in regional reports have the same name. The add-in will help you copy the data for all reports into one summary sheet.
- Click the "Merge Sheets" button > Select "Merge data from sheets with the same name into one sheet".
- Check the "Tables with headers" box if so.
Tip: so, the data will be combined under a single heading.

If the headers do not match, each data range will be added with its own header. - Select the sheets to merge by checking the appropriate checkboxes in the data tree.
Tip: instead of merging sheets with the same name into groups one by one (one name group after another), you can select them all at once. The add-in will automatically collect data on the same tab names and display them on the corresponding separate sheets of the summary book. - Click the Merge button > Done, all the data of the selected sheets with the same name are collected in a new summary workbook.
How data is copied to the pivot sheet
Merging data essentially means extracting and copying data from multiple source sheets to a new sheet.
- The data is copied completely - the entire range up to the last used cell on the original sheet.
- The copied ranges are added sequentially, one range under the last line of the previous range.
- The XLTools Merge Sheets add-in preserves cell and table formatting, cell references, functions and formulas, merged cells, and more.
- The original data is not changed.
