Get to Know the Basics
Starting with the basics, Microsoft Publisher is a powerful document creator and editor. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy to learn, and it can be used to create documents of all types, from newsletters to brochures to reports. You can customize the look and feel of your documents using different templates and styles, and you can save time by adjusting printer settings to match your document’s needs. You can organize your documents using folders and files, and you can also print them quickly and easily. If you’re looking for an efficient way to create documents, then Publisher is definitely a tool to consider.
Customize Your Workspace
When you first open Microsoft Publisher, you’re given a default workspace. This workspace can be customized to your specific needs. You can adjust type size, placement, and margins, among many other settings — all of which can make editing and printing more comfortable. Visit the Templates menu to begin creating a customized template you can reuse to produce different documents.
Control Type Size and Placement
When you first start working with Microsoft Publisher, it can be helpful to familiarize yourself with the basics. First, let’s take a look at the different controls that are available for type size and placement.
There are several ways to change the size of text, graphics, and other elements in your document. You can use the standard sizing controls that you find on most web browsers, such as the text size slider or the font-size icon. You can also use the Control Type Size and Placement contextual menus that are located in the lower-right corner of the document window.
The paragraph control is the most common type of control. When you drag it to the center of a paragraph, it becomes a shortcut for setting the paragraph style. You can also use it to set the line spacing, indentation, and heading levels for that paragraph.
The text block control is perfect when you want to create a region of text that doesn’t have any borders. You can place it anywhere on your page, and it will automatically resize to fit its contents. If you want to set some basic formatting for the text block, you can use the Paragraph Color menu or the Heading Style drop-down list.
The column control is perfect when you want to break up a long passage into separate columns. Just drag it to where you want your columns to appear, and Microsoft Publisher will automatically divide your text into those columns.
There are other types of controls that you may encounter, but these three are the most common. In addition to controlling type size and placement, they also offer other formatting options, such as borders and background colors.
