Subtitles of the Movie

In this movie, let's continue to work on our Publisher knowledge and work with the Publisher window elements. As a quick review, we have our title bar at the top. Remember, this tells us our program, the file name extension and then, of course, what kind of publication we've got. We have our menu bar below there and then our toolbars. Let's look more at those toolbars. In each Office program, the toolbars vary pending upon what program you're in. If you want to know what toolbars you are actually looking at, you can go up to view, toolbars and everything that is checked, those toolbars are open right now and usable. Most of us wouldn't consider the task pane a toolbar, but under the view menu within Publisher, that's where it's placed. So let's take a look at some of these toolbars. Right here is our standard toolbar. You can see me moving that around. Toolbars you can grab them right there on the edge once you get that four-headed arrow because any time you have a four-headed arrow, you can move objects. As you go across that standard toolbar, you see all the basic options that you'll probably see in just about any program. So keep those in mind. Make sure you look at all of those. We'll use them as we go through. The zoom button is definitely one that we'll use to zoom in on our objects. A lot of times you'll click this down arrow and go to whole page so you can see it as a whole printable document. You also have these little shortcuts. You can zoom in and out with the little magnifiers. Below there is a formatting toolbar and I'm going to click within my document here in order to activate that toolbar. What I can do is go in here and type anything that I want and then I can adjust the size, etcetera with this formatting toolbar. We'll get into specifics of how to use that, but it's very similar to your word processing toolbars. You'll notice my toolbar is not quite all there. That's why I have this little double-arrow that's pointing to the right. That shows me the rest of the buttons that are possible within the formatting toolbar. Another quick little toolbar trick that you can do, if you hit the down arrow beside font color, you can grab this little line there and pull it within your document and use it anytime you want. When I'm done with it, I close it, it pulls it back up in there. Over here at the far left is our objects toolbar. These are the main items that you're going to use while you're in Publisher. When we insert Word Art, we insert tables, so on and so forth. So those things will be there all the time. What we also want to look at here is our scratch area. The gray area surrounding your Publisher document is a work area. I can drag items over into that work area and use them anytime that I want to. When I save my file within Publisher, it saves them into this scratch area so I can use them later on. So if I have pictures or anything like that that I'm not sure where I want them, I can just save them out here and move them around later. Out here around the edge, of course, you can see this white space. That's your page margin. This blue line right here are your boundaries. You want to keep everything inside there so that way it will print easily and in a balanced format for your document. Down here at the bottom is a page icon. You'll notice that's page one. I can insert more pages and we will do that later on so that way we can see those things. I've inserted a blank page there so I can do that. I can also go to view on the menu bar and you can see there's some different views we've got. We can go to a two-page spread if we want to. We can uncheck that and pull it back to one. There's a lot of different options on the view menu. And the last thing you want to know about the Publisher window specifically are rulers. Rulers you can grab and move them anywhere that you want to and also put them back where they started. You'll notice their measurements. We can change those, but those allow you to specifically lay out a document. Maybe you're selling ad space. You're going to give them a one inch by one inch space. Some people two by two. Those rulers will help you line things up and help you make sure that you've given people the ad space that they paid for. So now you know all the elements within a Publisher window and the Office window as a whole. So let's move on and continue to work with some of these items.
