Title: Introduction to Microsoft Publisher
Course: MASTER-AGRI-1171-Erichsen

This module introduces the student to the basic concepts of desktop publishing using MS Publisher.  After viewing the online tutorials, students will use the publishing software to create a greeting card and brochure.

Publisher is a desktop publishing application that differs from MS Word in that the emphasis is placed on page layout and design rather than text composition and proofing.  It uses “blocks” such as text blocks and graphics blocks that can be easily moved around the page for designing.

The tutorials and instructions are based on MS Publisher. Other programs can be used to create the projects however the instructions may not apply for each step.
