 WHAT IS A MICROSOFT PUBLISHER?

Microsoft Publisher is a desktop publishing application that

focuses on design and layout of pages.

Microsoft Publisher lets your work as easily as you do in

Microsoft word, but instead of using tools for text, you’ll be
using tools for editing page layouts and visual content. Many
things that Microsoft publisher can do like personalized
birthday cards, event posters, newsletters for small businesses
and organizations, professional business cards, flyers,
programs, postcards and brochures.

TEMPLATES

Are simply publications built in to Microsoft Publisher or it is ready-to-use.

Microsoft publisher also comes equipped with hundreds or premade layouts and templates you
can use for guidance, ideas or inspiration. To use template in MS Publisher:
1. Click the MS Publisher application.
2. Then, you can either:
>Select one of the featured templates, and click Create.
>Choose Built-in and scroll to select a category and choose a template,
and click on Create to use it.
3. Once the template is open in Publisher, you can start formatting and editing it.
WORKING WITH OBJECTS

You’ll notice that in Publisher, everything will be formatted into movable “boxes”. These are
known as objects, and are outlined with a border with four white circles and four white squares.
These frame-like boxes allow to group, edit, manipulate and move content around on the page
more easily. Here are some ways you’ll be working with objects frequently:

ADDING TEXT

Allows to place text and create

the text boxes as needed.

To add text to your project, you

work within the text boxes and
can edit the text within the object
directly. You can also add your
own by going to the Insert tab
and clicking on the Draw Text
Box command, which lets you
click and drag to create your own
text object where you want it.
Also it can edit or customize the
font, size and color.

ADDING PICTURES

Allows to insert pictures, it is a

great way to add visual interest to
your publication.

Adding pictures to your content is

as easy as clicking
Insert>Pictures. You’ll have
options to insert pictures from a
file, OneDrive or from a search.

Just head over to the Format tab

when your picture is selected and
you can start tailoring your
images.
USING BUILDING BLOCKS

Building blocks make it easier for you to build and customize your publication by giving you pre-
made elements. You can find these under the Insert tab on the ribbon:

By exploring a few customizations, you can easily select an element you want and then click
and drag to reposition and resize the element accordingly. It’s an easy way to apply and
manipulate reusable pieces of content.

You’ll find this coming in handy when you want to add headings, borders, sections, accents, and
advertisement. Microsoft Publisher has these building blocks built right in, but you can also
create your own.
PAGE DESIGN
Allows users to change the color of their publication, template and many more without having to
go back to the start and creating a new publication. It is strongly advised that you save your
publication before using the features in this Ribbon and then only save again once you are
satisfied with the changes.

DESIGN CHECKER IN PUBLISHER

This is another feature you’ll want to use when you’re done putting your publication content
together. The Design Checker is accessible via File>Info>Design Checker. It’s a tool that
reviews your final content for layout or design problems and it appears on the right hand side of
the interface.

Think of this tool like your everyday spell checker, but for your publication content instead of
textual typos. The Design Checker reviews your content for variety of design and layout
problems, allowing you to catch and fix them before you finalize a print job.
