First class of the new academic year. Also, this is the first night of a new course – Microsoft Publisher. Albeit a small group, we had a good session on Microsoft Publisher. I started off the session with a introductory PowerPoint presentation all about what Microsoft Publisher is.
Microsoft Office Publisher, formerly Microsoft Publisher, is a desktop publishing application from Microsoft. It is an entry-level application, differing from Microsoft Word in that the emphasis is placed on page layout and design rather than text composition and proofing. The current version is Microsoft Office Publisher 2010 for Windows (no version exists for the Macintosh), released on June 15, 2010.
For tonight’s session we started off with a general look at the interface that the program uses, and how’s very similar to many other Windows applications.
As a nice easy exercise, tonight we looked at how simple clipart can be constructed. So using various shapes and lines, the group constructed some pictures of there own choosing. Rachel created a nice shaded grey cat, Huw did a man, and Lesley did a wonderful daisy and caterpillar, and Pat did a wonderful collection of balloons!
Next week, we’ll be looking at creating some birthday cards!
