PUBLISHER 2007

1. Madeleine Wright Peter Wentworth PUBLISHER 2007

2. Class Rep • Duduzile S. Ncube

3. Email in Publisher • Plenty of email templates • Cheaper way of sending an invitation etc • A good way of producing a monthly newsletter • Use the Mail Merge feature to personalize

4. Web Pages in Publisher • Publisher 2007 includes 72 design templates (including No Design) and a blank template in three widths designed for varying screen resolutions (or if you want to purposefully limit the width of the site content). • As with all publications, you can specify the font scheme and colour scheme when you create it. • You can also select the navigation bar location, choosing between a vertical bar on the left, a horizontal bar on the top, a horizontal bar on the bottom, and combinations thereof; or you can opt to go without a navigation bar.

5. Pre-designed web pages • When you create a Web site, you can choose to start with a simple home page, or to start from a more complete base, you can select the Easy Web Wizard option when creating the site. • When you choose this option, Publisher creates the home page and then displays the one-page Easy Web Site Builder, which asks a series of questions about the types of information you want to provide to site visitors, and adds pages to the initial site in response to your questions • Publisher provides 30 Web page templates

11. A site with 2 pages

12. A bigger site

13. But • Microsoft decided not to include this feature in Publisher 2010 • There is a downloadable template • But the rich features of Publisher 2007 for web creation have been lost in the later version • This is the one major difference between the two versions of Publisher

14. Tables in Publisher • Tables, unlike Spreadsheets, do not support the use of formulas • Also unlike Spreadsheets, table cells are not numbered • As with Word, we can insert a table into a template, but we can't just start writing with a blank Publisher template: our writing has to be part of something we place onto the template

15. Inserting a table

16. What you can do • Resize a table in the same way as you would resize any other Publisher object – get hold of its edges and pull! • Increase and decrease the size of a cell/column • Give the border a fancy finish • Rotate a table

17. Text Wrapping Again

18. More Text Wrapping

19. Cell Margins • Publisher automatically sets a 0.4 inch margin at the top, bottom, left, and right of each cell. • That way, the text that is displayed in one cell doesn’t bump right up against the text in the next cell

20. Cell Alignment

21. Design Formats

22. What Else? • Merge cells • Delete rows or columns • Add rows or columns • Hint: pressing the tab key in the bottom right-hand cell will create a new row with the same formatting as the one above

23. Insert a Spreadsheet

24. The Spreadsheet • This time we choose to "create new" • Notice that it's inside a BOX and can be resized like any other object you insert

25. Import a Spreadsheet • First, choose to "create from file"

26. Choice of Spreadsheet • We need to choose something that is small enough to display on our page • Or we can resize it to make it small enough to display

27. Another way • Open the Spreadsheet and select the cells you want to display • Copy them • Paste them • Note that it pastes as an object (not onto the background) • We can do this with text from a Word document too – note that the text pastes as a text object
