Publisher is a great package! Often underused, it allows you to create flyers, posters, newsletters and booklets with ease!
Who is this for?
This is aimed at those who have used Publisher a little or no exposure at all! You may also be self taught and be missing out on some of the shortcuts!
What does it cover?
Starting from the basics of creating an A4 publication, you progress to importing text, creating and using styles, creating folded booklets, dealing with photos and text wrapping, and using the Publisher grid system to help create well designed publications.
How long is it?
1 day or can be split into several sessions if required
Where is it run?
On your premises or via one of the training centres I use
