tutorial for MS Publisher 2003.

[alpoppe]

I am new to MS Publisher 2003. Is there a tutorial for this program? I
really need to read it in order to get started using MS Publisher 2003.

There are a few tutorials available on the Microsoft site. Plus there is
always the Help file.

Here's a decent technique for getting familiar with the program. Pick out a
wizard that's similar to something you want to create with Publisher, such
as a newsletter. Do a minor change to the file and then save it under a file
name of your choosing. Now start playing around with the file. Add text,
move elements, just keep coming up with new things to try. With one of the
elements selected, start clicking on the different options to see what
happens. You might make a mess, but who cares since it's all part of
learning. Do this a few times and you'll be surprised how fast you become
proficient at using Publisher. I'm not a fan of wizards, but as a learning
tool they are great for beginners. Once you've got a few basics down, start
creating some things from scratch. You might want to print out a sample
newsletter from a wizard. Then start with a blank document and try to
duplicate what you just printed. Always remember there are quite a few
helpful people (for the most part) who are here on the newsgroup to help you
along the way.

That's kind of what I do. I open a new file and start playing. I like the
fact that a lot of Microsoft programs have similar commands.
