MS Publisher Pt. 1 & Pt. 2
Day 1:
This hands-on training session will introduce basic desktop publishing
techniques to the new Publisher user, but will also appeal to the more
experienced user.  We’ll be examining the set-up of the program and
its use of templates.  We’ll focus on the toolbar and the hidden
controls for tools.  Ample time will be given to individual questions. 
Bring work material and you should have time to get started on your
project. 

Topics covered will include:
Basics of good graphic design
Proper use of fonts
How layering can be used to get different effects
Use of clip art
Grouping and un-grouping objects
Linking text blocks in longer documents, like newsletters 

Day 2:
In this full day workshop we'll continue to explore the features of
Microsoft Publisher. We'll focus on multi-page documents, like flyers
and newsletters. We'll be comparing the benefits of multiple columns
versus linked text blocks. We'll be adding continued to and from lines
as well as developing styles sheets. 

Topics covered will include:
How to work with multiple page documents
Create linking text blocks
Use multiple column text blocks
Create and apply style sheets
Prepare a document for commercial printing
Define text wrapping for graphic and text
