This full-color guide targets beginning users of Microsoft Publisher 97, the premiere low-end desktop publishing package. Kathy Ivens covers all of the elemental aspects of the software, such as creating publications, editing and formatting text, and adding graphics to your publications. She also provides a thorough introduction to working with advanced text and graphics using such features as text frames, special characters, layers, watermarks, tables, and OLE objects. Publisher's usability enhancements such as the Design Gallery, PageWizard, and Design Checker are covered, and Ivens also teaches about performing mail merges and printing, and shows how to create a variety of documents, including posters, banners, forms, business cards, and Web pages. Colorful graphics showing the various stages of each project and tips on design issues and shortcuts can be found throughout the book.
