Instruction, Techniques, and Design Advice for Desktop Publishing with
Microsoft Publisher

With Microsoft Publisher and MICROSOFT PUBLISHER, the official software
companion from Microsoft Press, anyone running the Microsoft Windows
operating system on a PC can design and produce professional-quality
publications with no prior experience.

In this step-by-step, example-packed guide, author Luisa Simone shows how
the new Microsoft Windows-based desktop publishing software package is a
cost-effective business communications tool. Everyday documents can be
exciting. New letterhead and business forms can give a company a fresh,
new image. Small businesses can save money by designing their own print
ads. And promotional newsletters can be created in a snap.

Sample projects presented within the context of a small business include:

 A promotional newsletter with photos and graphics
 An original logo
 Professional-looking letterhead
 Eye-catching advertisements
 Customized business forms
 An elaborate, well-designed catering menu
 A small mail-order catalog

MICROSOFT PUBLISHER is divided into four parts. Part I is an overview of
how the Microsoft Windows operating system and Microsoft Publisher work
together. After mastering the basics, readers learn about Microsoft
Publisher's built-in word processing features, drawing tools, and PageWize
the mini programs in Publisher that create professional-looking documents
based on information the user provides.

In Parts II and III, readers learn how to design a variety of publications
from scratch, incorporating the general rules of good design found within
the pages of the book. With these hands-on exercises, budding desktop
publishers can import graphics, convert files from other applications, and
apply their own special effects and accents.

The appendixes in Part IV offers a quick lesson in installing Microsoft
Publisher, tables of keyboard alternatives, tips and guidelines for
printing with Publisher, and a handy glossary of desktop publishing terms.
A comprehensive index helps users quickly find information on any
