Introduction
This guide assumes that the program has been correctly and fully installed on your
personal computer, that the computer is already switched on, and that a printer and
mouse are attached. It may not be possible to access all of the Clip Art described without
an Internet connection. The guide was created using version 2003 of Publisher.

Accompanying data for the exercises is supplied. This avoids unnecessary typing and
speeds up the learning process.

Important Notes For All Users


The accompanying data disk contains files. Copy the master disk to a designated folder
on your hard disk so that all newly created files can be saved to the same location.

Occasionally, long toolbars may be used and some of the buttons may be hidden. If this
is the case, click on the chevrons at the right of the toolbar to reveal any hidden buttons.
When using menus, double click on the menu title to display the full range of commands.

Notation Used Throughout This Pack


• Key presses are included within < >, e.g. <Enter>

• Menu selections are written, e.g. File | Open meaning select the File menu and then
the Open command.

• The guide is split into individual exercises. Each exercise consists of a written
explanation of the feature, followed by a stepped exercise. Read the Guidelines and
then follow the Actions, with reference to the Guidelines if necessary.

Recommendations
• It is suggested that users add their name, the date and exercise number after
completing each exercise that requires a printed copy.

• Read the whole of each exercise before starting to work through it. This ensures the
understanding of the topic and prevents unnecessary mistakes.

Enter the text What a good idea! and increase the text size until it fills the
cloud.

2. Click on the centre of the cloud, away from the text (i.e. with the Move
cursor active), to display the yellow diamond at the bottom of the callout.

3. Click and drag the yellow handle to the right to move the origin of the
callout until it comes from the right of the cloud.

4. Click and drag the handle down slightly, to make the callout part longer.
Now use the handle to return the shape to its original state.

5. Use the AutoShapes to add a Sun (Basic Shapes) to the publication.

6. Click and drag the yellow handle to the right to increase the size of the
rays and to reduce the size of the sun itself.

7. Now click and drag the yellow handle to the left to make the rays smaller
and the sun larger.

8. Add a Smiley Face to the publication, using AutoShapes (Basic


Shapes) button. Drag the yellow handle up to make it a sad face.

9. Select the Heart from Basic Shapes and hold down <Shift> whilst
drawing the shape to keep its proportions, similar to drawing a square.

10. Now draw another heart, but this time hold down <Ctrl> and notice the
different result.

11. Delete the face and the hearts.

12. Leave the publication open for the next exercise.

Open Learning Publisher 2003 Advanced

Exercise 90 - Import from a Scanner or Camera


Guidelines:

Scanners are used to import images and text to a computer. Using scanning
software and other image manipulation programs, images and text can be
edited and used in desktop publishing programs such as Publisher. Publisher
has its own scanning software, which allows you to scan an image directly,
thereby avoiding having to use scanner software. Digital cameras are used to
capture images that can then be uploaded on to a computer via a cable or
memory card. Publisher can be used to add a photograph directly from a
camera, again avoiding having to insert the photo via the camera’s own
software.

Actions:

Note: Make sure the scanner is switched on and is installed on the computer
before attempting this Exercise.
1. Place the image to be scanned face down on the scanner bed. Close the
scanner lid.

2. Start a new blank publication and select Insert | Picture | From Scanner
or Camera. Publisher’s scanner software should load. An example is
shown below. The dialog box you see will probably be different.

3. If the image has not been previewed, click Custom Insert.

4. The scanner may operate automatically, but if not, and the settings are
available, select the area of the image to be scanned. Change the dpi
setting (resolution) if appropriate (by clicking Adjust the quality of the
scanned picture). Click the Scan button.

5. Once the image has been scanned, close the scanner software, if it does
not close automatically, to return to Publisher.

6. The scanned image can be manipulated as all other objects. Resize it


until it fills about a quarter of the page.

Exercise 90 - Continued
7. Save the publication as Acquire and leave it open.

Note: Before continuing, ensure your camera has a suitable photo saved to
memory and the camera is installed and connected to the computer. In
Windows XP, as soon as a USB cable is connected, a dialog box appears
asking What do you want Windows to do? For this exercise click
Cancel.
8. Draw a picture frame at the bottom of the page. The Insert Picture dialog
box appears.

9. Locate the camera’s removable disk drive from the Look in area.

Note: The memory of the digital camera is treated as a disk on the computer
system.

10. Open any folders shown until you locate the picture to be imported. An
example is shown below.

11. Click Insert to import the image, then save the publication and close it.

12. To disconnect the camera, click the icon on the Taskbar. Select
Safely Remove USB Mass Storage Device. You will be prompted when
it is safe to remove the connection.

Exercise 91 - Linking and Embedding Files


Guidelines:

Many types of file can be imported into a publication. An embedded file has no
link to the original; it becomes part of the publication. A linked file, however,
gives the option to update the data in the publication if the source data
changes.

Actions:

1. Open the publication Halloween.

2. To insert a linked spreadsheet, select Insert | Object and choose the


Create from File option.

3. Click Browse and look for the location of the data files. Select the Tickets
spreadsheet and click Open.

Exercise 94 - Using the Master Page


Guidelines:

When a publication consists of more than one page and each page has
common elements, such as the same headers, footers, logos, page numbering,
etc., then the Master page can be used. This is a page where all of the
common objects for a group of pages are set out. Whatever appears on the
Master page appears on every page. Master pages may also be called
background pages.

Actions:

1. Using the publication from the previous exercise, select View | Master
Page. Notice that the Page Control area now shows . Any objects
placed on this page will appear on all pages of the publication.

Note: The page is called Master Page A because two master pages may be
used if you intend to view a publication in two page spread (see next
Exercise).
2. Insert the picture Devils Island from the data files and position it near the
top of the page. Resize it until it is about double its original size.

3. Select View | Master Page to return to the publication. Move through the
pages to ensure they all have the same picture at the top of the page.

4. Move to page 1. Try to select the picture by clicking on it.

Note: As the picture was inserted on the master page, it cannot be selected.
5. Draw a text box on page 1 and insert the text file Island News from the
data files. Increase the size of the text box if necessary.

6. Move to page 3. Select View | Ignore Master Page. The picture


disappears, as the master page is to be ignored on this page. Draw a text
box in the middle of the page and type the text Prison dormitory from
where Papillon escaped.

7. Insert the picture Shackles below the text box and resize it until it is about
double its original size.

8. View all the pages. On page 3, reveal the background by selecting View |
Ignore Master Page again.

9. If necessary, move the items so that none of them are overlapping each
other.

10. Save the publication as Sheets.

11. Leave the publication open for the next exercise.

Exercise 95 - Viewing Two Pages


Guidelines:

If you are creating a publication such as a booklet, in which two pages are
meant to be viewed together, Publisher allows two pages to be viewed at the
same time. The first page will always be viewed as a single page, but the rest
of the pages can be viewed side by side, like a book. Pages are edited in the
normal manner.

1. Ensure the publication Sheets is still on screen.

2. Using the Page Control buttons at the bottom of the screen, move
through the five pages.

3. Go back to the first page.

4. Select View | Two-Page Spread.

5. Again use the Page Control button to view the other pages and see how
pages 2 and 3, and 4 and 5 are now displayed.

Note: If desired, two different master pages can be created, one for each side of
the two page spread. To do this, in Master Page View, click New Master
Page, , on the Edit Master Pages toolbar. Complete the details in the
dialog box and click OK.

Exercise 100 - Printing Specific Pages


Guidelines:

When a publication consists of more than one page, it may be desirable to print
only certain pages, rather than the whole publication. This is achieved by using
the Print menu command rather than the button, which prints all pages
automatically.
Note: Some printers require a larger bottom margin and may not print the
bottom section of the page, if this happens, move the text box higher up
the page.

Actions:

1. Use the publication Sheets from the previous exercise and select File |
Print to display the Print dialog box.

2. Select Pages from the Print range area and enter the range from 2 to 3
then click OK to print just those two pages.

Exercise 102 - Text Styles


Guidelines:

A text style is a predefined style of text, including font, size, alignment, etc.,
which is given a name and can then be easily applied to any particular piece of
text, so keeping consistency of style throughout a publication. For example, this
text has been defined as a certain style, and the title above has been defined a
different style.
For publications that have a heading style applied as well as normal body text,
Font Schemes can be used. This makes it possible to apply a particular font to
all headings in the publication and a complimentary font to the body text.

Actions:

1. On a new publication, draw a text box at the top of the page. In this text
box, type HEADLINE.

2. Select Format | Styles and Formatting to display the Styles and


Formatting task pane. Click .

3. Enter the new style name as Headline and then click the Font button at
the right. Choose a different font, e.g. Showcard Gothic and the size 36
then OK.

Exercise 105 - Aligning Text Vertically


Guidelines:

As well as aligning text within a text box horizontally, i.e. left, centre, justify or
right aligned, Publisher can also align text vertically, i.e.
Top Aligns text to the top of the text box.
Middle Aligns text to the centre of the text box.

Exercise 106 - Copyfitting Text


Guidelines:

AutoFit will automatically shrink or expand text so it fits exactly into one text
box, even when the text box has been resized. Either a whole story (entire text
box) can be set to AutoFit, or specific text, such as a heading which flows on
to two lines within a box, can be reduced so that it appears on one line only.
There are three AutoFit options:
Best Fit will automatically shrink or expand the size of the text, when the size
of the text box is reduced or increased, so the text fits exactly into one text box.
Shrink Text on Overflow will reduce the text size in the overflow area, until the
text appears in one text box. If the text box is then resized, the text size will
automatically be resized as in Best Fit.
None will switch off AutoFit.
Note: AutoFit will not work when using a connected text box. Disconnect the
text box first, and then apply an AutoFit option.

Actions:

1. Use the publication Tutankhamun, it should already be open.

2. Click anywhere in the text box. Select Format | AutoFit Text.

3. Choose the Best Fit option. The size of the text is increased so the story
fits the entire frame. Note the new font size.

4. Change the size of the text box and see what effect this has on the text
size.

5. Select Format | AutoFit Text | Do Not Autofit to turn off AutoFit.


Changing the size of the text box will have no effect on the size of the text.
Try it.

6. Change the size of the text box so the last paragraph cannot be seen.

7. Select Format | AutoFit Text | Shrink Text On Overflow. The text size
reduces, until all the text appears in the text box.

Note: If Shrink Text On Overflow appears not to work, apply Best Fit, then
apply Shrink Text On Overflow.
8. Make the text box slightly larger. The text resizes so it fits the entire text
box.

9. Close the publication without saving.

Exercise 107 - Widows and Orphans


Guidelines:

Widows and orphans are single lines of text in a paragraph that print at the top
or bottom of a column or text box. The Widow/Orphan control can be used to
prevent this happening.

Actions:

1. Open the publication Stories. The title of one of the articles Dog eats £2
million winning lottery ticket is left at the bottom of column 1. This is an
orphan.

2. Use the Measurement toolbar to resize the text box to 16cm x 23cm, so
that the title rejoins its paragraph. This is not really desirable, as there is a
blank line before the title that would appear at the top of the next column.
You could resolve this by giving the titles and the text their own styles
including line spacing, and remove the blank lines.

3. Changing the size of the text box has changed the area of the text and so
is not a good copyfitting technique. The more acceptable method would
be to place a column break before the title. Click Undo, . This will put
the title back where it was.

4. Place the cursor before the D in Dog.

5. Hold down <Ctrl> and <Shift> and press <Enter>. This inserts a column
break and moves the title to the top of the next column without any blank
line.

6. Modify the Article style, changing it to Arial 11pt.

7. Place the cursor on the blank line beneath the first article.

8. Press <Delete> until the Dog article’s headline is brought to the cursor
position. This has removed the column break created in step 5.

9. Notice how there is a single word left alone at the top of column 3. This is
a widow. This is a little trickier to deal with, especially in columns.

10. Increase the size of the coffee cup image to 5.3cm by 5.3cm and
reposition it between the column guides for column 2. This forces extra
lines into column 3, removing the widow.

11. Use any copyfitting method to make the text fill most of the white space,
but ensure that no widows or orphans or created and that none of the text
overflows the frame.

12. Save the publication as Stories2 and close it.

Exercise 108 - Edit Story in Microsoft Word


Guidelines:

If a publication contains a lot of text or linked text boxes, it may be easier to use
Microsoft Word as the editor instead of Publisher, as it has more editing
features, such as grammar checking.
Note: Pictures, tables or drawn objects, inserted whilst in Word, may have to be
repositioned when they are updated into Publisher.

Actions:

1. Open the publication Heritage and move to page 2.

2. Right click within the text box and select Change Text | Edit Story in
Microsoft Word. Microsoft Word opens.

3. Notice how the text is shown as a continuous flow instead of in text boxes.

4. To check the grammar, select Tools | Spelling and Grammar and


ensure Check grammar is selected (checked).

5. Work through the suggestions, editing as required and click OK when the
prompt below appears.

6. Select File | Close and Return to Heritage.pub.

7. Ensure each text box contains the following:

Page 2 Introductory text (2 paragraphs)

Page 3 text relating to The House

Page 4 text relating to The Gardens

Page 5 text relating to Pets’ Corner, Gift Shop and Tea Room.

8. Save the publication as Heritage3.

Exercise 111 - Find Text using Wildcards


Guidelines:

The Wildcard symbol ? can be used with whole word matching to replace a
single unknown character in a search. So, for example, a search for s??p with
whole word matching specified, will find all four letter words which start with s
and end with p, such as slip and shop.
If whole word matching is not specified, beginning and ending wildcards are
automatically assumed, so the above example would also find words such as
cowslips and shopping.

Actions:

1. Open the publication Tutankhamun.

2. You need to locate a reference to the jars, which contained the organs
removed from the king’s body during the mummification process. Position
the cursor at the top of the text box.

3. Select Edit | Find to display the Find and Replace task pane.

4. You are unsure whether the spelling is canopic or kanopic. Enter anopic
in the Find what box. Uncheck the Match whole word only box.

5. Click Find Next. Publisher has found the correct spelling.

6. Place the cursor at the top of the text box and search for the characters
or. The words matched should be: interior, torch, torchlight, store,
organs, ornaments, work, for, visitors and more.

7. Change the search to ?or?. The results will be exactly the same.

8. Search to ?or? again, but this time ensure that the Match whole word
only box is checked . Now only work, for and more will be found.

Note: The word for is found because the space before it counts as a character.
9. Close the publication without saving.

Guidelines:

Text boxes can be connected over several pages, by using the normal
techniques. When two connected text boxes are on different pages, Publisher
can automatically add the text Continued on page ... to the bottom of one text
box and Continued from page... to the top of the next connected box.

added at a later stage, they will also be given the correct annotation.
5. Zoom in on the text box on page 2 and examine the text.

6. The Continued… text has pushed some of the original text into the next
connected box. Increase the size of the text box so that page 2 contains 2
paragraphs of text.

Exercise 119 - Composite & Colour Separation


Proofs
Guidelines:

Printing composite proofs means printing out exactly what you see on the
screen, i.e. all the items together on one page. This is the type of printing you
have been doing up to this point.
Commercial printers will sometimes require a colour-separated printout along
with the file. This separates the colours into cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y)
and black (K). The publication must be set up for process-colour, also known
as CMYK. Cyan groups all the blues and greens, while magenta groups all the
pinks, reds and purples. Yellow groups the yellows and creams and black just
deals with black.
Each colour group will be printed on a separate page.
Note: A colour printer is essential for this exercise to work correctly.

Actions:

1. Open the publication Getwell.

2. Select Tools | Commercial Printing Tools | Color Printing.

3. At the dialog box, place a check in Process colors (CMYK) and click OK

Exercise 132 - Developing a Website


Guidelines

Once the basic structure of a web site has been created, the pages can be
developed further by entering more text either by typing, importing or pasting,
inserting more pictures, creating appropriate hyperlinks, etc.

Actions

1. With the Web Pages publication open, view Page 2.

2. Draw a text box below the title, approximately 11cm in height, leaving a
space about 4cm wide at the left of the page and taking up the rest of the
page width.

3. Leaving Web Pages open, open the publication Tutankhamun as well.

4. Zoom in to view the text in the text box on the Tutankhamun publication
and click and drag to select the title and the first two paragraphs of text.

5. Copy the selected text, then use the button on the Task Bar to return to
the Web Pages publication and Paste the copied text into the empty text
box on Page 2.

6. Increase the font size of the title Tutankhamun to be 22, then select the
two paragraphs of text and change the font to Georgia, 18pt. If
necessary, adjust the height of the text box so that it is just large enough
to contain the text.

7. To the left of the Tutankhamun text box, create another two small boxes
containing the text Page 3 and Page 4, similar in style to those on Page
1.

8. Create hyperlinks from the two latest text boxes to the appropriate pages.

9. View Page 3 and create a similar layout of text boxes as on Page 2. I.e.
two smaller boxes to contain hyperlinks and one larger box to contain text.
The sizes should also be equivalent to those on the previous page.

Note: To maintain continuity of size, text boxes containing hyperlinks may be


copied and then pasted wherever similar boxes are required. The original
text hyperlinks can then be highlighted, deleted and replaced.

11. In the two smaller text boxes, create text hyperlinks to Page 2 and Page
4.

12. Still on Page 3, insert a new line above the paragraph text in the main text
box and enter the title Treasures. Format the title and text in this text box
to match that used in the equivalent text box on Page 2. Again, adjust the
size of the text box to suit the amount of text inside it.

13. View Page 4 and repeat the previous actions to create a layout of three
text boxes containing the final two paragraphs of text from the
Tutankhamun publication, the title Gold, and text hyperlinks to Page 2
and Page 3.

14. This time, reduce the height of the main text box until only the first
paragraph is visible. The Text in Overflow indicator will appear.

should match the size and proportion of the boxes above. Enter the text
Home Page.

20. Create a hyperlink between the Home Page text and the First Page.

21. Test the new hyperlink to confirm that it works then return to Page 2.

22. Copy the text box containing the Home Page link and paste duplicates in
the equivalent position on Page 3 and Page 4. You will not need to create
new hyperlinks here since hyperlinks are copied and pasted along with
their text.

23. You should now have a complete set of navigation hyperlinks that will
allow you to move from any page within the web site to any of the other
pages.

24. Before the web pages are previewed in the next exercise, the appearance
of titles at the top of pages 2, 3 and 4 could be improved. Change their

Filter Records to Merge (Query Options)
Merge to Mailing Labels and Envelopes

© CiA Training Ltd 2004 95


Open Learning Publisher 2003 Advanced

Exercise 141 - Merging Documents


Guidelines:

The Merge feature is used to combine, for example, a letter with a separate list
of names, addresses, etc., into one publication. These two files, when merged,
create a personalised copy of the publication to everyone on the list. Mailing
labels to the same group of people can be created, if required, using the same
technique.
Merging involves two files: the Main publication and the Address List file (the
data source). The main publication can be a letter, mailing label, address on an
envelope, or even an invoice or packing slip. The data source file is a list that
contains the individual information to be printed on each copy of the main
document. Any number of main publications can use a single address file. An
address file can have as many items as desired, perhaps thousands of
customers’ names and addresses, or any information that is appropriate.

Two important terms that are used with merging are Field and Record. These
terms originated in database management. The following example shows
fields (columns - Surname, First name, Street, Town, County) and records
(rows - information for each person):
Surname First name Street Town County
Chapman Ian 7 The Avenue Boldon Tyne & Wear
Peagram Norma 5 St Georges Morpeth Northumberland
Waldram Brian 16 Weldon Av Spennymoor Durham

Open Learning Publisher 2003 Advanced

Exercise 142 - Publisher Address Lists


Guidelines:

A Publisher Address List is a data source file providing information that


changes from copy to copy of a merged document. The data is held in a table.
Address list files need a great deal of planning, as they can be used for various
different applications. It is advantageous to break the information into as many
fields as possible.
For example, a single Name field could be used, but Surname, First Name
and Initial may be more useful, depending on requirements. Fred Bloggs
entered in one field cannot be used in a merged document as F Bloggs, Fred,
Mr Bloggs or Mr F Bloggs.
Every record must have exactly the same number of fields, it may be necessary
to leave some fields blank.
Sample Field List

Company Name
Title
First Name
Surname
Address1 or Street
Address2
Address3
Town
County
City
Postcode
Telephone Number

Actions:

1. A small company needs to keep track of its customers. Make a list of the
type of information that may be required.

Note: Address List files are used many times. As situations change, it will be
necessary to add new records, change records and delete records.
