PS Ch.4--"My Future With Publisher"

I can see myself using Publisher in the future when I own my own business and need to hand out my business cards to people. This means I would use Microsoft Publisher to make my business cards.

PS Ch.3--"Articles on Publisher"

Ziff Davis is a business owner and decided he needed a business card. He decided that it would take way too long to send it out to a printer, so he used Microsoft Publisher. In this he took a JPEG graphic and the logo and made a Adobe Acrobat PDF. This way he knew what he already wanted and he could drop it off at what he thought was the fastest printing business, which was FedEx Kinkos. He did it this way because it is less time consuming, he can put his own ideas on it, and it was less expensive.

PS Ch.2--" Something New"

I learned how to use the Publications for Print category. To do this you need to click on Publications for Print category, after doing so you need to decide what kind of layout you want. So say it is a For Sale sign, you scroll down in the list and click on Signs. After doing this you look for a For Sale sign that you want and just click it. It pops up for you and tells you what goes where.

PS Ch.1--"My Initial Thoughts"

My initial thought about this class were “this is going to be so simple”, but the further I got into it I started to realize that it was a lot harder than I thought. Microsoft Word was extremely simple, then there was Excel which wasn’t too hard but it was easy to get through. Then came PowerPoint and I thought I wasn’t going to be able to do it, but I was wrong I did it. After I finished PowerPoint I had the choice to do either Publisher or take a Keyboarding Lesson. I decided to do Publisher. I had no idea that it was this hard to do. Just the first unit took me for ever, it is simple I guess I just have problems following directions maybe. But there is a lot more to this class

PS Ch.10--"MUSIC IN CLASS NOW!"

My friend Jacqu’e Carey used a PowerPoint presentation to show Mr. Asmus that kids who listen to music during class get a lot more work done. She had slides with ratings on them, pictures of kids in this class listening to music and working hard, and kids who just sit there and work. The results were very good because Jacqu’e had so many facts in her PowerPoint presentation she proved to Mr. Asmus that letting kids listen to music is better than not letting them. And now most of the kids are ahead in the class because they could relax and listen to their choice of music while working.

PS Ch.8-- "Ooooo Pretty"

To change the background of slides in a presentation, open the Format menu and choose Background. The background dialog box opens. The current background color displays in the list box in the Background fill area. Click the list arrow next to the background color to see the options you have to change the background. Click Fill Affects, and choose the Picture tab. In the Picture tab you will see no pictures I the Picture box because you haven’t selected it yet. So then you will hit Select Picture button and search for the picture you want. When you hit Select Picture a pop up box will appear so just hit Ok. Then choose the file in which you picture is saved. Select the picture you want and hit insert. After doing so the picture you choose will be in the Picture box, this is giving you an example of what the slide will look like. Hit Ok and then that box disappears and a little box appears, go ahead and hit Apply or Apply to All. Then there you go.

PS Ch.9--"Paste Me Baby"

You can add both information and pizzazz to documents created in other Office applications by copying PowerPoint slides and pasting them into documents, worksheets, and database forms and reports. Copy a PowerPoint slide in Slide Sorter view by selecting the slide you want and clicking the Copy button. The switch to your destination document and click the paste button. If you like, you can embed or link the slide using the Paste Special dialog box. A slide pasted into Word or Excel has the same properties as any other object. You can move it, resize it, and control how text wraps around it. A slide pasted into an Access report or form needs a little more work. You must paste the slide into a section in Design view and then change its properties so you can resize it and move it easily.
