Introduction
Microsoft Publisher 2013 is a powerful tool that can help you create professional looking flyers,
brochures, and other forms of print publications. It is much more versatile than using Word or
PowerPoint to create these types of documentations, and a number of ready-made templates can be
found online to help you get started with your project

This booklet is the companion document to the Publisher 2013: Getting Started workshop. The
booklet will give users an introduction to the Publisher 2013 interface, and show you how to get
started with creating a simple newsletter flyer

Learning Objectives

 Understand the Publisher 2013 layout
 Create a new publication from scratch or from a template
 Insert and adjust text boxes, pictures, shapes, and tables
 Understand the scratch area
 Create master pages and update business information
 Review the publication, save, and print

The Publisher 2013 Interface
The Publisher 2013 interface is very similar to other Office 2013 products. The following sections give an
overview of the Publisher 2013 interface

The Backstage View
When first opening Publisher 2013, the user will be presented with options to open recent publications, start a
new blank publication, or select from a number of templates (see Figure 1)

Figure 1 - Backstage View (First opening Publisher 2013)
To enter the Backstage view after creating your publication:
1) Click the File tab (see Figure 2)

The Ribbon
The Ribbon (see Figure 5) is a panel that contains functional groupings of buttons and dropdown lists
organized by tabs. Each product in the Office Suite has a set of tabs that pertain to the functionality of that
application. Each tab is further divided into groups such as the Font and Paragraph groups shown in Figure 5

Figure 5 - The Ribbon
At the bottom right-hand corner of some groups, there is a diagonal arrow called a Dialog Box Launcher
(see Figure 6). Clicking this button opens a dialog box for that group containing further option selections for
the group

Figure 6 - Dialog Box Launcher
The Ribbon also contains several context sensitive tool tabs (see Figure 7) that will appear once a related
object has been selected within your publication (e.g. a graphic, textbox, or picture). These tool tabs provide
you with additional options for formatting objects within your publication

Figure 7 - Contextual Tab

2) A dialog box will appear. Select Customize the Ribbon… (see Figure 8)
