Pg. 3-10

1. Start Publisher, select Publications for Print

2. Scroll down to select either Blank publication or go to the bottom of the task pane to select Blank Print Publication.

3. Select Full Page

4. Close your task pane window to give you a full screen to work with

5. Click on TOOLS on the menu bar, select OPTIONS, select the General tab, and make sure your measurement is set to Inches, and click OK

6. Select FILE on the menu bar, select PAGE SETUP and select the Layout tab to change your portrait orientation to landscape.

7. While still in the PAGE SETUP dialog box, change the FULL PAGE setting to CUSTOM by scrolling down in the selection list.

8. Once Custom is selected, change the page size dimensions: width to 8 and height to 7, and then after making sure you are still in landscape orientation, click OK

9. Click on INSERT on the menu bar, and select PAGE

10. In the Insert Page dialog box, type 11 for the number of new pages (to make a total of 12 pages) -- before or after current page does not matter since we have no content entered yet. Notice the 12 page icons at the bottom of your screen?

11. Click on ARRANGE on the menu at the top of your screen, select Layout Guides, then select the Margin Guides tab, and select "Two-Page Master"

12. While still in the Margin Guides dialog box, change all of the page margins to 0.375, and CLICK ok,

13. While still in the Layout Guides dialog box, select the Grid Guides tab, and create 5 columns; type 0.25 in the Spacing textbox (this sets the space for the column gutters); then click OK

14. Your first page of the document should resemble figure 12 on page 3-10 of our InDesign texbook.

Ok, let's start again on page 3-11

1. Look at the pages across the bottom of your screen and note that you have 12 pages as you specified in the New Document dialog box.

2. Select VIEW from the menu bar and select MASTER PAGE. Notice that the Master Page is named A-Master.

3. Place your cursor over the Master-A label in the task pane. Click on the drop-down arrow next to Master-A and select RENAME. Change the description of the Master-A page to "Chapter Right Page" and click OK. (In Publisher, we can't change the name of the page other than a character designation).

4. Select the drop-down arrow again and click on CHANGE TO SINGLE PAGE, click OK when prompted.

5. If your rulers are not visible on the top and left side of your screen, then select VIEW and RULERS to turn them on.

6. Click inside the horizontal ruler and hold the mouse. Pull down the green grid line to 1.5 inches. (Notice the guide location noted at the bottom right of your screen on the status bar.)

7. Right-Click on the green gridline and select FORMAT RULER GUIDES. Delete the 1.5 setting and type in 1.9 and select SET.

8. Drag a second guide down from the horizontal ruler to 5.9 inches. *use the format ruler guides to get the exact number if you are having trouble with the mouse.

9. Drag a guide from the vertical ruler on the left side of the document window, then release the mouse when the status bar reads 2 inches horizontal.

10. Right-click the first horizontal guide you positioned at 1.9 inches and change it to 2 inches.

11. Using the same procedure change the location of the horizontal guide at 5.9 inches to exactly 6 inches.

12. Then change the vertical guide from 2 inches to 2.5 inches.

13. Save your changes

Ok, let's start again on page 3-14

1. On Master Page A, select the text box button from the Objects Toolbar. Draw a text box from the intersection of the 2.5 in. vertical and 2 in. horizontal ruler guides and extending all the way to the right margin at about 1.5 inches high. Your page should look similar to Figure 17 on page 3-14.(TIP: if you are having trouble getting the size of your box to adjust smoothly, select ARRANGE on the menu bar, select SNAP, and uncheck the "To Ruler Marks" and uncheck "To Guides." You movements should be a little easier now.)

2. Change the font to Garamond, 80 pt. and type Chapter X. (You will need to type 80 for the size box because the drop down list only extends to 72.)

3. With your cursor still in the textbox, select FORMAT then PARAGRAPH and change the line spacing (Between Lines) to 96pt. and click OK. (You will need to type 96 and the pt after it.)

4. Select FORMAT and TEXT BOX, then select the Text Box tab and change the top margin to 0.

5. Create another textbox as shown in Figure 18 on page 3-14.

6. Click inside the second text frame and type "Chapter title must be two lines"

7. Then select the text and change the font to Trebuchet MS or similar sans serif font, set the font size to 32pts, then set the leading to 33pt. (remember to use the "pt" to change the leading (line spacing--in Publisher this is the "Between Lines" box) from spaces sp to points pt.

8. Save your work.

9. You cannot change the color of the ruler guides in Microsoft Publisher, so you will need to skip page 3-15 in our InDesign textbook.

10. Click the selection tool (arrow) from the object toolbar and click anywhere in the lower text frame on page 1.

11. Select FORMAT and TEXT BOX, then select the Text Box tab and change the vertical alignment to "bottom" then click OK.

12. Using Figure 22 as your guide (on page 3-16), drag the top middle handle of the text frame down to the top of the text.

13. Then move the left edge of the textbox frame to the outside of column 4 (as you can see in Figure 24 on page 3-17).

14. Click the top textbox. Notice the green button at the top of the screen? Click on the green button and rotate the textbox 90 degrees clockwise. Move the textbox to the left margin and align the bottom edge to the ruler guide at 6 inches.

15. While still clicked in the "Chapter X" textbox, select the right-alignment button on the formatting toolbar.

16. Your page should now resemble Figure 25 on page 3-17. Save your work.
