Publisher Tips
&
Tutorials


NEW!  I've just written a tutorial on using Publisher 2003 to create html mail, such as newsletters or announcements.  I have never recommended Publisher for html but this new version does this VERY well.  Read my tutorial here.


Publisher files can easily be saved as web pages and added to any site.  A simple example is this calendar.


Making custom borders:

I'm a big fan of the Border Art feature in Publisher, but I prefer   to make my own borders.  Try it out:

  • Open a blank document and insert a text frame and size it to fill the page.

  • With the frame still selected, go to Format>Line/Border Style>More Styles>Border Art>Create Custom>   Choose Picture and  go crazy.  Either use ClipArt or take the check  out of the box that says to use ClipArt and browse for your own designs.

  • I've made some pretty slick borders this way.

Do you think the Embossed font feature is useless because you emboss fonts and they look like this?

bad embossed text

   

Well, try it again, but this time set the fill color for your text frame to a color matching your text, but just slightly lighter and it will look like this: 

 good embossed text
