Name the picture something like Logo and save to your project folder.

Part 4: Create a Flyer in Microsoft Publisher
You decide to have an Open House party to introduce your business to the surrounding

• Address
• Open House
• Date and Time of the Open House

Edit the phone tear-offs at the bottom so that it contains the following:

You should only have to edit one of the tear-offs and all the others should change to match.

by doing the following:
• Select Insert menu
• Click the break out box option in the Building Blocks group (arrow on the bottom
right corner)
• Click Business Information
• Choose Phone Tear-off and Click on Insert
• You can then move the new tear-off object to the bottom of the page. Also, when
