      Using Publisher 2019 - Kevin Wilson

      About the Author

      With over 15 years’ experience in the computer industry, Kevin Wilson has made a career out of technology and showing others how to use it. After earning a master’s degree in computer science, software engineering, and multimedia systems, Kevin has held various positions in the IT industry including graphic & web design, building & managing corporate networks, training, and IT support.

      He currently serves as Elluminet Press Ltd’s senior writer and director, he periodically teaches computer science at college in South Africa and serves as an IT trainer in England. His books have become a valuable resource among the students in England, South Africa and our partners in the United States.

      Kevin’s motto is clear: If you can’t explain something simply, then you haven’t understood it well enough. To that end, he has created the Exploring Technology Series, in which he breaks down complex technological subjects into smaller, easy-to-follow steps that students and ordinary computer users can put into practice.

      Microsoft Publisher

      Microsoft Publisher is a desktop publishing application developed by Microsoft. Publisher is considered an entry level desktop publishing application and is aimed at home users, schools, and small businesses with in house printing. Publisher is not used for commercial printing purposes.

      Publisher differs from Microsoft Word in that the emphasis is placed on page layout and design rather than text composition and proofing.

      With Publisher, you can easily create many different types of publication.

      Publisher offers various features and tools to create and edit publications such as flyers, banners, greeting cards, posters, and letter heads. These tools are all grouped into tabs in a menu system along the top of the screen called a ribbon.

      Publisher uses a WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) interface, meaning everything you create on screen appears the same way when printed.
