Can text boxes of newsletter templates be expanded/increased in si

[M. Palmer]

I do a family newsletter and got publisher to make it look more professional
but to me it's like working in a straitjacket. Most of the articles/stories
are much, much longer than the boxes provided, even if I "jump" the story to
another page.

Is there any way to expand/increase the space alloted for each story?

Publisher can do almost anything you want, the only way you get
straightjacketed is if you restrict yourself to working in the framework
created by the template. You can resize any element of the template, or
you can just create your own design from scratch. I would personally
recommend the latter.

Delete the text boxes, start from scratch. Open help and read about linking text

Thank you for your help. I was beginning to think I was in over my head. Now
I think I will be able to figure out Publisher and use it and be very happy
with it!
