Critical Thinking Question/s
• Princess Kylie will be celebrating her 7th
birthday next month. Her mother asked
the layout artist to make an invitation for
her daughter. What do you think is the
first step the layout artist should be
familiarized with to enable him to make a
nice invitation for Princess Kylie? Explain
your answer.
1. Customizable
One of the advantages of MS Office
Publisher is customization by using
Design Tools. The ready-made templates
are available on MS Publisher software,
so that you can easily customize
according to your style and taste.
2. Insertions
To select a Publisher template or create a
new publication is entirely the choice of
the users, but the process of customizing
publication is done by just clicking on
the "Insert" tab.
3. Flow
Publisher templates are generally set
up to auto-flow which means that text
too large for one column will flow
into the next column.
4. Task Feature
An advantage of this application is
that new users can instantly use this
type of publisher by using its MS
Office Publisher Task feature.
5. Faster
Last but not the least advantageous
feature of the Publisher is that it can help
you in saving your time. Regularly used
texts and photos are stock up in the
content library so that it is easy to use
them again in different publications that
will be created by you in the future.
