1.4 QUICK PUBLICATION TEMPLATE

1. Click the Start button, click All apps, then click Ms. Publisher.

2. In the panel of the Getting Started window, under Publication Types, click Quick Publications as shown.


Under the publication type heading at the top of the center pane is a list of template categories for the selected publication type, followed by a link to the templates of this type that are available from Office Online. (Clicking the link displays the online templates under the Microsoft Office Online Templates heading rather than opening a separate Internet browser window.) Thumbnails of the available publication templates appear in category order. The right pane displays a larger thumbnail of the selected template, and any available customization options.\


3. In the category list at the top of the center panel, click Classic Designs. The pane scrolls to display thumbnails of the ready-made classic designs for one-page announcements or cover pages.

4. Scroll the center panel to see the available designs, and then under Classic Designs, click the Pixel thumbnail.

The selected publication is indicated by an orange frame. A larger thumbnail and the customization options that you can set before you create the publication appear in the right panel.

5. In the right pane, under Options, click the Layout arrow (to the right of the large picture at top setting), and then in the list, click large picture in the middle. All the thumbnails change to show this layout option.

6. In the lower-right corner of the window, click Create. A publication based on the selected template opens in a new Publisher program window. 


The Publisher program window displays all the tools you need to customize the publication. You carry out most tasks by clicking commands on menus or buttons on toolbars. Common tasks you might want to perform for the current publication are gathered in one convenient place in the Format Publication task panel to the left of the publication workspace.

1.5 SAVING AND CLOSING PUBLICATIONS

When you create a new publication, it exists only in your computer’s temporary memory until you save it. Even if you will never use a particular publication again, you might want to save it so that you can use it later as the basis for a similar publication. SAVING A NEW PUBLICATION The first time you save a publication, you can click the Save button on the Standard toolbar or click Save or Save As on the File menu. Either action opens the Save As dialog box, where you can assign a name and choose a storage location. In Publisher, the dialog boxes that allow you to navigate to a particular storage location, such as the Save As and Open dialog boxes, are linked. If this is the first time in this Publisher session that you have used one of these dialog boxes, it displays the contents of your Documents folder. Subsequently, it displays the contents of whatever folder you last used. You use standard Windows techniques to navigate to or create other folders. After you save a publicati

1.2 USING A TEMPLATE

Creating a publication from a blank page is time-consuming and requires quite a bit of design skill and knowledge about Publisher. Even people with intermediate and advanced Publisher skills can save time by capitalizing on the work someone else has already done. In the Getting Started window, you can choose a publication type, pre-view thumbnails of the available designs of that type, and experiment with different color schemes and font schemes. Tip The templates that come with Publisher, as well as those that are available from Office Online, have associated keywords. You can type a keyword in the Search for Templates box at the top of the Getting Started window and then click the Search button (the green arrow to the right of the search location list) to display thumbnails of templates to which that keyword has been assigned. When you create a publication based on a template, you are not opening the actual template file; instead, you are creating a new file that includes all t

1.3 IMPORTING A WORD DOCUMENT

Image
To import the text of a Word document into a publication, you click Import Word Documents in the Publication Types list and then choose a document design, page size, and column layout. Publisher converts the document and inserts it into a new publication, adding as many pages as necessary to hold the complete document. You can then add a title and replace any other placeholders that are part of the design, or you can add new elements to suit the purpose of the publication.
