When you open Publisher to create a new publication,
you should find yourself right where you need

00:00:15.230 --> 00:00:21.230
to be: on the File tab, under New. Here,
you can start from scratch by opening a blank

00:00:21.230 --> 00:00:26.720
file (available in several different sizes
and orientations). Or you can take advantage

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:29.439
of one of Publisher's pre-designed templates.

00:00:29.439 --> 00:00:34.610
A template is a file that contains placeholders
for your content, both to help you save time,

00:00:34.610 --> 00:00:39.550
and create a publication that looks professional.
There's something for almost every occasion,

00:00:39.550 --> 00:00:45.120
from business cards, to calendars - even personalized
greeting cards. This time, we'll take a look

00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:49.210
at flyers in the marketing category.

00:00:49.210 --> 00:00:54.220
Your choices appear in this part of the pane,
with a preview on the right. See how it works?

00:00:54.220 --> 00:00:59.170
Generally, you have two kinds of templates
to choose from: files that you download from

00:00:59.170 --> 00:01:05.110
Office.com (that's this section here), and
files that are installed on your computer.

00:01:05.110 --> 00:01:11.210
These are simpler in design, but they do allow
you to customize things like the color scheme,

00:01:11.210 --> 00:01:13.920
and fonts.

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:19.250
I'm looking for something specific: a flyer
with tear-away tabs for my contact information.

00:01:19.250 --> 00:01:24.080
Let's take a look at some more templates from
Office.com. One thing to keep in mind - some

00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:28.470
of these were actually created by other users.
You can tell which ones by the icon in the

00:01:28.470 --> 00:01:33.369
corner. While Microsoft does review these
templates, they're not guaranteed to be free

00:01:33.369 --> 00:01:38.369
of viruses or other defects, so think carefully
before you download.

00:01:38.369 --> 00:01:42.119
This one looks exactly like what I had in
mind. It's provided by Microsoft, so I know

00:01:42.119 --> 00:01:47.130
I can trust the source. To continue, click
the Download button, and the template will

00:01:47.130 --> 00:01:49.420
open in a new window.

00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:53.799
Now, before I fill in my content, I'd like
to make some changes to the publication layout

00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:58.040
to better suit my needs. (You can do this
with any type of publication, be it a blank

00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:03.189
file, or one that you created from a template.)
Just go to the Page Design tab.

00:02:03.189 --> 00:02:08.310
Here, you can easily customize the size, depending
on the paper you're going to use to print

00:02:08.310 --> 00:02:15.360
your publication. You can also adjust the
margins. Remember, these determine the print area.

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.890
Finally, you can change the orientation from
portrait to landscape (or visa-versa), but

00:02:20.890 --> 00:02:25.580
this may have a negative affect depending
on the template you chose.

00:02:25.580 --> 00:02:30.670
Now I'd like to switch to another example
- a pricing menu with multiple pages. It uses

00:02:30.670 --> 00:02:34.370
one of the simpler templates that comes with
Publisher, and I've already filled in most

00:02:34.370 --> 00:02:38.770
of the content. We can still change the template
to something else, however. All you have to

00:02:38.770 --> 00:02:42.360
do is click Change Template on the Page Design
tab.

00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:49.260
Now pick a new one from the window - how about
this one? - and click OK when you're done.

00:02:49.260 --> 00:02:55.120
Here, you'll want to select the first option
to apply the template to the current publication.

00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:00.560
Click OK one more time, and the change takes
place immediately. The great thing about this

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.190
feature is that it also works on publications
that started out blank.

00:03:05.190 --> 00:03:09.239
Before we finish up, I'd like to show you
how to work with multi-page publications,

00:03:09.239 --> 00:03:14.430
using the Page Navigation pane on the left.
From here, it's easy to add, delete, and rearrange

00:03:14.430 --> 00:03:20.300
pages to better suit your needs. To delete,
for example, all you have to do is right-click,

00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:26.209
choose Delete from the menu, then click Yes
to confirm.

00:03:26.209 --> 00:03:32.099
To add a page, right-click again - but this
time, choose Insert Page. A pop-up window

00:03:32.099 --> 00:03:37.739
will appear so you can specify what you need.
I want just one new page after the page I

00:03:37.739 --> 00:03:42.069
currently have selected, so I'm not going
to change anything here - but you could always

00:03:42.069 --> 00:03:47.690
add more. When you're ready, click OK, and
the page appears in your file.

00:03:47.690 --> 00:03:52.440
Finally, to move a page in your publication,
click and hold it, then drag where you want

00:03:52.440 --> 00:03:57.019
the page to go. See that horizontal line?
That marks where it's going to be moved when

00:03:57.019 --> 00:03:59.610
I release my mouse.

00:03:59.610 --> 00:04:05.010
As you can see, creating publications is easy
once you know the secret to using templates,

00:04:05.010 --> 00:04:12.010
customizing the layout, and working with multiple
pages to suit the needs of your project.
