For the average person, only a few of them need to be used: word2007, Excel2007, PPT2007, etc. Many other components are not usually used, and Publisher2007 is one of them. If Publisher is taken out alone, many people will feel unfamiliar. In fact, Publisher had already joined Microsoft as early as 1991, and was finally added to the office suite, usually appearing in the advanced version. Most of the functions of Publisher software are similar to Word. The difference is that Publisher integrates many system default design templates and also adds file publishing formats. To install Publisher2007, you must make sure that your Office2007 installation program is the Enterprise or Professional version, because families do not have this component. The following article will introduce you to the main functions and usage of Publisher in detail.
The main functions of Publisher 2007 are as follows: design, produce and publish press releases, brochures, posters, postcards, websites and emails.
When you open Publisher 2007, the system will pop up an initialization window. On the right side of the window, users will see "Publication Type", which includes the names of many common publications and printed matter, such as: recipes , advertisements, posters, awards, program lists, greeting cards and press releases, etc. In this directory we can also see two types of emails and websites.
Once the user selects a publication type, all templates belonging to this type will be listed in the middle column of the software interface, and the style of the selected template will be previewed in the preview window on the right. It is worth noting that when the user is not satisfied with the color scheme and font scheme of the template, he only needs to modify the relevant scheme in the customization window on the lower right side of the dialog box, which can greatly improve the user's work efficiency. When the user selects a template and modifies the relevant plan, click the "Create" button to create a publication.
If the default templates in the system cannot meet the user's needs, you can also click the "View templates on Microsoft Office Online" option in the middle of the dialog box to search for relevant templates from the official Microsoft website.
If even the official website cannot provide a satisfactory template, users can create a blank page and create a personalized template by themselves; or modify the template that comes with the system and save the new publication template as Publisher template file. Users only need to click "Save As" in the "File" menu; then in the "Save as type" box, select "Publisher Template"; enter the name of the template, and change the target folder to the Publisher default template library location (if If the user saves the template to another location, Publisher may not be able to automatically find the template); finally click the "Save" button, and the template will be saved in the Publisher template library. In the future, as long as you open the template library, you can find the template quickly and easily.
After entering the newly created Publisher publication, you will find that the interface style of Publisher 2007 still adopts the Office 2003 interface, retaining the drop-down menu mode at the top. For the convenience of users, Publisher 2007 lists the "Shortcut Toolbar" and the "Format Publication Window" on the left side of the interface.
The "Shortcut Toolbar" includes tool plug-ins that are frequently used by users, such as text, tables, word art, pictures and drawings. Through the buttons in the "Format Publication Window", users can modify the color scheme or font scheme of the template, and also change the template style and page size. Click the "Format Publication" button and more setting options will pop up.
Users need to be reminded that when converting one type of publication to another type of publication, the system will prompt how to change the template.
If you select "Apply template to current publication", the converted publication template will completely overwrite the original file; if you select "Create a new publication using my text and graphics", the system will copy the original All contents of the publication are retained in the original file and a new publication file is created.
If the user has added content or plug-ins to the original publication page, Publisher will move all content and plug-ins that are not suitable for the new publication type to the "Format Publication" task on the left side of the interface The "More content" section of the pane. If the user closes a publication that contains content in the "Other Content" section, Publisher will prompt the user to dispose of unused items in the publication, so that the user will not lose previously completed work due to carelessness.
In the next article, we will introduce the specific operation and use of Publisher 2007 by creating two different publications, "Advertising" and "Website".
