Advertising with Publisher 2000

[daimonbok]

I've looked first, went all the way back to posts from '03 and can't
seem to find out how to use publisher to set up display advertising for
newspapers and magazines.

I need both a 1/4 page ad and a 1/6th page ad that I can send to the
publishers. All small local rag & gags, but for them to do it form me
is out of my pocket.

Both publications are 8 1/2 x 11 format. I'm using Publisher2000

Thanks
Gene

There's really nothing different about using Publisher to make an ad from
making a newsletter. I would STRONGLY recommend asking the company that's
printing it what formats they accept. I did an quarter-page ad for a friend
for a national magazine and they specifically stated no Publisher formats.
Regardless of what I think of that, it's their rule and I was obligated to
work within their specifications.

There are built in advertising templates in Publisher. They are all 2 x 2. If
you type 4.25 x 5.5 or vice versa in the page setup, Publisher will adjust the
size automatically. A 1/16 size page is 2.75 x 2.125 (Publisher will round the
2.125 to 2.13).

Most commercial printers will accept a PDF file, there are free converters
around, this is one:

Thank you Mary, That's what was throwing me off. The sizes that were
always changing.
