ADVANCED DESKTOP PUBLISHING

DURATION: Half a day

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This is a course designed for those who are often required to produce quality mailshots, newsletter, flyers etc. in their daily work, or for those who are generally interested in increasing their knowledge of the Publisher application.

So if Publisher includes wizards that help you produce your documents, why do you need this course. Microsoft Publisher Advanced shows you how to use Publisher to its fullest capabilities. You learn more than just how to run a wizard. You learn how to change a wizard's design to better suit your needs, as well as to produce documents for which there are no wizards.

Furthermore, you learn about document design. On its own, a desktop publishing program cannot create quality designs and professional-looking documents. Even if you use one of Publishers wizards, the final layout, the page design, the font formatting and other elements all can be improved.
