DESCRIBING PUBLISHER INTERFACE.
Publisher 2013 Welcome Page Open Publisher 2013 from the computer desktop. On
the Welcome page, note the various popular templates available. Click a template you’d
like to use to see a full description. You would click “Create” to open a document in this
particular style. For this class, create a Blank 8.5 x 11” document.
1. Home -This is the default ribbon in Publisher and the one that you will use
most of the time. You can see that most of the basic text editing tools such
as Bold, Italics, alignment, indenting, fonts, etc., are displayed here. You also
have limited control over objects that you can click on in the publication
layout. This Ribbon is very similar to the one used in Microsoft Word.
2. Insert - Any time that you would like to add content to your publication then
the Insert Ribbon is the one most likely to be used. There are features here
for adding pictures, shapes, calendars, borders, hyperlinks, and more. The
first time that you insert an image Publisher will ask you for the location of the
images on your system and from that point forward it will display the available
images when function is used subsequently.
3. Page Design-This Ribbon allows users to change the colour of their
publication, template, fonts, etc., 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.
4. View-This Ribbon allows the user to view the publication while working on it
in a variety of ways. There are functions here for single or two page spreads,
adding guides and rulers, cascading windows, and more. It is a good idea to
experiment with these functions to determine the easiest view for working on
your publication.
5. Mailings-Probably the least used of the Publisher Ribbons. There are tools
here to enable users to mail merge their publication and send it out, usually
through MS Outlook or other email programs.
