A FEW NOTES FIRST:

Microsoft Publisher is a DESKTOP PUBLISHING program.

This program can make: ____________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________
The two ways to create a publication are: (1) _________________ and (2) __________________

The ______________________________ gives you pre-made ____________, which you can

___________________ on your own after the wizard is done. In this mode, you are limited in
your creativity because a wizard does the work for you. It is a good idea to use it if you are
short on time.

The ______________________________ lets you start from ______________. Which means you
alone are the designer. You set up the publication to your liking and you can manipulate any-
thing you want.
