Intro to Publisher and Publisher 01-06

Introduction to Microsoft Publisher

Publisher is an application which you can use to quickly create programs, brochures, signs, menus etc... As you create documents, you should liberally use help in order to get help on the type of document you are creating.

Publisher 01-05

1.                  Launch Microsoft Publisher. Note: If you’re already in Publisher, go to File and select “Create New Publication.”

2.                  Make sure either “Publications by Wizard” or “Publications by Design” is selected.

3.                  Create 5 separate Publisher documents using the Wizard or Design. Please do not create a Newsletter, Three-Panel Brochure or Resume.  (You’ve already done those in Word)

Publisher 06

1.         Launch Microsoft Publisher. Note: If you’re already in Publisher, go to File and select “Create New Publication.”

2.                  Make sure either “Publications by Wizard” or “Publications by Design” is selected.

3.                  Create a menu for an imaginary restaurant. The menu can be multiple pages with the understanding that extra work means extra points.

Grading Criteria: As Publisher is an incredibly easy program, there are some things of which you must be aware. Not all Publisher publications have the same amount of work. Please view the following in order to determine the maximum grade you can earn: Please remember that many publications have multiple pages and that for each assignment, you change all the given information that is provided for you. Also, be aware that if you duplicate publications (i.e. 6 menus), 10 points will be deducted for each subsequent duplication.  And of course, spelling counts (5 points off for each error)  In other words: In order to get an A+ (100), you need to amass 600 points. That 100 points for each assignment. If you do lower point assignments, you will probably have more than 6 Publisher documents. When you save, just add on numbers. E.g. xxxxx07, xxxxx08, xxxxx09, etc…  Continue reading for point information. Ü
