Creating a New Publication

Page 1
Introduction
In the previous lesson, you learned about planning and designing a publication. With
that knowledge, you're now ready to create a new publication.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to create a new publication using either a template
or a blank page. You'll also learn how to customize your publication by modifying
page layout, applying a new template, and adding, deleting, and rearranging
pages.

Creating a new publication


Publisher offers dozens of templates for almost any type of
publication you would want to create, including brochures, Video: Creating a New
newsletters, and greeting cards. Of course, if you can't find a Publication in Publisher 2010
template you like you can always modify one to suit your needs or
even create a publication from a blank page. Understanding
Publisher's templates and layout tools will help you create
publications that look the way you want.

To create a new publication from a template:


1. Click the File tab to go to Backstage view, then select New. The Available Templates pane will appear.
2. Select the type of publication you wish to create.
3. A selection of templates will appear in the Available Templates pane. Choose from one of two categories:
Office.com templates, which include templates created by other users. User-created templates are
indicated with a User icon . Although Microsoft does review these templates, you should use caution
when downloading them, as they are not guaranteed to be free of viruses and other problems.

Installed templates created by Microsoft.


4. A preview of the selected template will appear in the Preview pane on the right. Review the template, and
modify template options as desired.

5. When you are satisfied with the template, click Create.


6. The new publication will be created.

Depending on the type of publication you create, your template may offer more customization options
than shown in the example above.
Creating blank publications
If you don't want to use a template or can't find a template that suits your needs, you can create a blank
publication. Remember, when you create a blank publication you will have to set up page margins, add guides, and
make all layout and design decisions on your own.

To create a blank publication, click the New tab in Backstage view, then select a blank page size in the
Available Templates pane.

Customizing your publication layout


Whether you chose to create a publication from a template or from a blank page, you may decide to change the
publication layout. Three components you can change are margins, size, and orientation. Although you can
modify these settings at any time, you should be careful if your publication already contains objects like text,
images, and shapes, as you'll have to adjust them to fit the new layout.

To modify page margins:


1. On the Ribbon, select the Page Design tab, then locate the Page Setup group.
2. Click the Margins drop-down command.

3. A drop-down list will appear. Select the desired margins.

4. The new margins will be applied.


If you are not satisfied with any of the margin options, select Custom margins... to open the Layout
Guides dialog box. There, you can specify margin widths.

To change page size:


1. On the Ribbon, select the Page Design tab, then locate the Page Setup group.
2. Click the Size drop-down command.
3. Select the desired page size from the drop-down list that appears. Remember, you should make sure your
printer is capable of handling paper that size.

4. Your publication's page size will be changed.


The publication, now on a larger page

If the desired page size isn't included in the drop-down list, select More Preset Page Sizes... to view a
larger list of page sizes.

To change page orientation:


1. On the Ribbon, select the Page Design tab, locate the Page Setup group, then click the Orientation drop-
down command.
2. Select Portrait orientation to make your publication taller than wide or Landscape to make it wider than tall.
3. Your publication's page orientation will be changed.

Depending on the template you chose, changing the page orientation may have a negative effect on your
presentation. While some templates work equally well in both orientations, others do not.

Changing or adding a template


If you create a publication from a template and later decide the chosen template doesn't quite suit your needs, you
can always change it. You can also apply templates to publications that were originally created from blank pages.

To apply a new template to an existing publication:


1. On the Ribbon, select the Page Design tab, then locate the Template group.
2. Click the Change Template command.
3. The Change Template dialog box will appear. Select a template to preview it in the Preview pane.
4. Modify template options as desired.
5. When you are satisfied with the new template, click OK.

6. A dialog box will appear asking you how you wish to use the template. You can either:
Apply the template to the current publication
Create a new publication that includes the text and images you have added
7. Click OK.
8. The new template will be applied to your publication.

Adding, rearranging, and deleting pages


If you're creating a newsletter or another type of publication with multiple pages, you might find the Page
Navigation pane useful. The Page Navigation pane gives you a way to view and scroll through the pages in your
publication. It also includes features that let you add, move, and delete pages.

To open the Page Navigation pane, click the View tab on the Ribbon, then locate the Show group. Select the
Page Navigation check box.
To add a new page:
1. In the Page Navigation pane, right-click any page, then select Insert Page.

2. The Insert Page dialog box will appear. Specify the number of pages to insert and the location where you
wish to insert them.
3. Choose what will appear on the new pages. By default, the pages will be blank, but you can also choose to
create pages that include one text box or pages that are duplicates of an existing page.
4. Click OK.
5. The new page or pages will be inserted.

Depending on the template you're using, when you add a new page you may see a dialog box with page
layout options.

To move a page:
1. In the Page Navigation pane, locate the page you wish to move.
2. Click and drag the page to its new location, then release the mouse.

3. The new page order will be applied.


To delete a page
1. In the Page Navigation pane, right-click the page you wish to delete, then select Delete in the list that
appears.

2. If the page is part of a two-page spread, Publisher will ask if you wish to delete one or both pages. Make your
selection, then click OK.

3. The page will be deleted.
