Hi list members. I have another formatting question for you.

I know that bi-fold is best, but I'd like your opinions on placing text on tri-fold brochures.
Picture this tri-folded piece of paper--or if you have MSWord, please check out my attachment:

(Side 1)
inside fold panel-------back cover panel------------front cover panel


(Side 2)
inside panel 1-----------inside panel 2-----------------inside panel 3

Traditionally, I place text in such a way that the order in which the audience reads each panel will not matter. In other words, reading and understanding each panel does not depend on the material on previous or following panels; each panel is "self-standing".  BUT, when the order of topics DOES matter, how would you place text on the panels? Would you add page numbers?  What do we do with that "inside fold panel"? Which panel does a typical reader read first?

Help!
Felicia
