Appropriate for all introductory-to-intermediate level courses in Microsoft Office Publisher 2003.

Designed for students at a wide variety of skill levels, Learning Microsoft Office Publisher 2003 provides a total-immersion, hands-on tutorial that walks students step by step, mouse-click by mouse-click, keystroke by keystroke through each of Publisher 2003's most important features. The well-illustrated, spiral-bound manual contains easy-to-read, appealingly formatted procedural explanations, step-by-step exercises, and many screen shots— all in a carefully organized multi-part lesson format. Each lesson is comprised of several exercises built around using Publisher in real-life business settings. Most exercises consist of seven key elements: a brief “On the Job” description of how the student would use this feature in the workplace; a realistic exercise scenario; definitions of key terms; concise notes describing and outlining important concepts; hands-on mouse and keyboard procedures; step-by-step instructions for putting the skills to work; and an “On Your Own” critical-thinking activity students can work through on their own, for reinforcement, practice, or to test skills proficiency. Each lesson ends with additional Critical Thinking exercises that call upon students to rely on the skills they've learned. Coverage in this edition includes: getting started with Publisher; changing designs and layouts; working with fonts, styles, pictures, and WordArt; and more. Coverage also includes: creating a wide range of publications, ranging from fliers and newsletters to greeting cards and envelopes; as well as both Web and e-mail content.

  • Broad coverage of the techniques students will use most often—Coverage includes: basic concepts, designs, layouts, fonts, styles, pictures, WordArt, and creating a wide range of Publisher publications, from fliers and newsletters to Web sites and e-mails.

    • Prepares students for whatever challenges they are likely to encounter, while providing a firm foundation in the key concepts and techniques they will constantly rely upon.

  • Abundant screen shots and mouse-click by mouse-click, keystroke by keystroke procedures—Shows exactly how to perform each task in Publisher, one step at a time.

  • Exercise scenarios—Puts the exercise into real-world context by asking students to assume the role of someone responsible for a specific task.

    • Gives students a realistic understanding of how they will apply each of the skills they are being taught.

  • Terms defined throughout—Provides relevant definitions at the start of each exercise, and highlights key terms in the text.

  • “On Your Own” sections at the end of each exercise—Provides activities that challenge students to work on their own to come up with data and use it in a Publisher document.
