The menu has downgraded. It is at the bottom of this page.

Publisher

Here is a link to the Publisher Hot Keys (ie: shortcuts)

File

To choose your publication layout, select the Page Setup option from the File menu.

Edit

The edit functions in Publisher are similar to those in Word.

View

To switch between the background and foreground of a publication, Click on View and select either Go to Foreground or Go to Background.
To be able to resize and zoom pictures quickly, choose Fast resize and zoom option on the Picture display (which is accessed throught the View menu)
To make the toolbar icons bigger, click on View, Toolbars and then click options. Tick the Large icons box.
If you want to see how your publication will look on special preprinted paper, choose the Special Paper option from the View menu. Note that publisher will not print the background, it assumes that you have special paper that matches the background.
To zoom in or out, click on View and then Zoom. Select the desired magnification.

Insert

If you want to draw your own picture for your publication, click on the Insert, then Picture and then New Drawing. This allows you to insert and edit drawing objects (Same as Word) and also allows you to insert Word.
To make your publication more interesting, try inserting a Design Gallery object. The design gallery is filled with useful ready made objects such as Logos, Phone Tear-offs, Reply Forms, Attention getters and much more.

Format

To create a Custom Border, select an item, click on Format, Choose Border style and then click on More Style. Finally click on Create Custom border and publisher will prompt you to choose a picture for your border.
For a fancy first letter, use the Format menu to put in a dropped capital. There are a number of styles available or you can design your own using the custom option.

Tools

When you have completed a publication, use the style checker to ensure that your style throughout the publication is consistent.

Table

Table works the same way it does in word. An added advantage is that you can add Diagonals to the cells. To do this simply highlight the cells and then go to Table and select Cell diagonals.
To put a background on a table, select the cells concerned and then right hand mouse click over the table. Go to Change Table and then select Fill Color. From there you can select a colour or Fill Effect.
To delete the text in a table, highlight the text, right hand click and choose the Delete Text option.
To fill text either horizontally or vertically, highlight the cells concerned, right hand mouse click, Choose Change Text and then Fill Down or Fill Right.

Arrange

If you place objects on top of each other, use the Arrange menu to get the desired object on top of the pile. This is a handy tool if you are creating a collage.
