Microsoft Publisher...?

I have never used Microsoft Publisher before, but I have 36 hours to create a small booklet of size half A4...

Any tips or tricks? Or tutorials from websites? Or even better.. Templates for such booklets?

I've just had a 'play' on Microsoft Publisher (Office 2003 version) as I've never used it!. It is very easy. You have options on how you want your booklet to look.

Do you mean you need the booklet to be A5 size? (A4 'portrait' folded in half with spine to left).

Once you have opened Publisher - you need to click on an option on left side of your screen - click on 'Blank Publications' then an array of options will appear on your screen. If the A5 booklet is the one you are after, then you need to click on the "Book Fold" option. However, once you have done this, you need to change the orientation of documnt in File %26gt; Page Setup then click on 'Landscape'. This is the layout of your new 4 page A5 booklet.

BUT you will need to remember where to place the text/info as Page 1 will be front cover, pages 2 %26amp; 3 are usually centre pages and page 4 is the outer cover page. I am not sure how you would go about doing more than a 4 page booklet though - you will probably have to play around on Publisher to see if you need more.

To insert text into the new booklet - you would need to insert a "Text Box" this option is an icon on left side of your screen. You can create as many text boxes as you need eg for a title, subtitles and then information/change font and point size. Remember to change your zoom % to 75% or 100% otherwise it will look tiny on screen.

Printing the document out won't automatically make it into a booklet - it will probably just print pages as you see on screen. ie you will get 2 pages printed out - you will need to re-insert pages in reverse order to print remaining pages

printed but that = 2 booklets if you know what I mean.

I can email you a clinical procedure information booklet if you wish to see how it would look and print it out to see what I mean.

Good luck
