You can use Publisher’s wizards to quickly create professionally designed publications. With Publisher’s wizards, you need to only answer a series of questions and then fill in the content blanks that the wizard creates for you. To create a publication using a wizard, follow these steps:
When you start Publisher or choose File | New and click the Publications By Wizard tab, Publisher allows you to select from the list of wizards, as shown in Figure 30-1. Then select a design for the publication by clicking an example design from the list box on the right.
When you create a publication using a wizard, the wizard sticks around as you work on the publication. If you want to edit a choice you made while using the wizard to create the publication, you can do so at any time by selecting new options in the wizard.
Publisher includes a Pack and Go Wizard that can pack all of the various files your publication uses into a neat little bundle, so that you can take the pack to a commercial printer or another computer. To run the Pack and Go Wizard, follow these steps:
1. Choose File | Pack and Go | Take to a Commercial Printing Service.
Note: The Pack and Go Wizard for taking your publication to another computer just includes a subset of the options available in the wizard for taking your publication to a commercial printing service.
2. Click Next to begin the wizard.
3. Select a location for storing the publication (probably a removable storage device) and click Next.
4. Check the boxes beside the graphics and fonts you want to include in the pack. Unless your printer tells you otherwise, you probably want to check all of the boxes.
