If you closed the Flyer, as indicated above, you will see the New Publication Task Pane on the left side of your screen. On the right side of your screen you will see a large piece of blank paper.

Look at the Start from a design area on the left side of the screen, and run the cursor down to Brochure and click-on it.

Now look in the upper row of Brochures on the right. We'll select the Arcs Informational Brochure just like we used the Arcs Informational Flyer.

To select the Arcs Informational Brochure, click on this choice. You will see the "blue square" around this selection.

As soon as you click-on Arcs Informational Brochure, the Brochure Options Task Pane will appear on the left side of your screen and the Arcs Informational Brochure template on the right side of your screen.

As with the Flyer Task Pane, take a few minutes to look at the Brochure Options Task Pane. Notice that Publication Designs, Color Schemes, and Font Schemes appear at the top of this Task Pane – just like they did in the Flyer Task Pane.

Notice on the right side of the screen that a Brochure appears when this screen appears. Notice the pink and blue lines that indicate the "folds" for this Brochure. When this Brochure is completed, it will be folded twice so that it will be about the size of an envelope. Also, notice at the bottom of the brochure screen that there are two Pages - one for each side of the sheet of paper that will make up the two sides of the Brochure. We'll return to edit each side when we have completed the Brochure Wizard.

The Brochure Options Task Pane (and the Newsletter to follow) will work the same way that the Flyer Options Task Pane worked.

We’ll move "down" the list of choices in Brochure Options Task Pane (just as we did for the flyer).

We first clicked-on Publication Designs and the Publications Design Task Pane (for Brochures) opened as indicated at the left.

Since we chose Arcs Informational Design, our choice is indicated by the blue square surrounding Arcs.

We’ll stay with this design for this tutorial example. If, later on, you’d like to change your design, you can always go to the Publications Design Task Pane and do so.

Next we’ll click-on Color Schemes. The Color Schemes Task Pane you see on the left will appear.

Again, you choose any color you desire. We'll again use the Burgundy Color Scheme. This will then change all of the default colors in the Brochure the same way that it did in the Flyer.

Now we’ll click-on the last choice in the Task Pane – Font Schemes.

As with the flyer, you have a choice of fonts for your brochure. When the Font Schemes Task Pane appears (on left), you may browse the choices and select any font you desire.

Well use the default font – Times New Roman.

We’ll now return to the Brochure Options Task Pane.

This Task Pane asks what Paper size you desire to use for your brochure: regular letter size or wide legal size. The 3-panel brochure uses normal size (8 ½ x 11) paper and the 4-panel uses legal size paper (8 ½ x 14) paper. We’ll use the 3-panel Paper Size for our brochure.

The Brochure Options Task Pane next indicates that you can have a customer address in your brochure, as it did in the Flyer. We’ll click-on Include this time.

When you select Include, watch the middle section of the Brochure on the right side of the screen. You will see the Title Box, Logo Box and Personal Information Boxes disappear and be replaced by a Return Address Box and Customer's Address Box. If you missed this, click-None. Watch the right side. Click again to select Include, and watch the right side. We'll talk more about these addresses when we edit the Brochure.

Notice, in the Brochure Options Task Pane, that the current Form choice is None. Also notice that there are three other choices: Order form, Response form, and Sign-up form. To see the changes, click-on the small Page 2 "button" at the bottom of the screen. Watch as you click-on each choice. When you select Order form a blue bar will appear and indicate that changes are being made to the Brochure. When the process is complete, you will see the Order form changes. We’ll use None for our Brochure. So, we clicked-on None as our final Choice.

Don't forget - if you make a mistake you can always click-on the blue undo arrow and try again.

One last "thing" before we begin making changes to our brochure - Personal Information. Anytime you desire to change your Personal Information (like the Flyer) click-on Edit in the Menu Bar and the click- on Personal Information. This will take to the Personal Information Menu screen (Page 4). Anytime you desire to alter any of your information, simply "click" as indicated and change your information

Now we’ll learn about the brochure. If you are not on Page 1, click-on the Page 1 button now.

Notice that we have already mastered how to change everything in the right portion of the Brochure.

Now look at the left side Brochure panel. Again you have already mastered how to edit this panel. At the top is a Text Title box. In the middle is a double spaced text box. It is similar to the text box we edited in the Flyer where we used Microsoft Word. You can right click-on this text and choose to Change Text from the menu and then Edit Story in Microsoft Word. The bottom image is again Clip Art.

If you click-on the text below the image you will see that it is a caption for the picture. A caption is simply a text box "attached" to a picture. If you click-on the book below, and then tap the F9 key, you will zoom-in on the book. You will see the grouped object pieces that indicate grouping and the text indicates that it is a caption. If you click and drag the image, you will see – logically – that the caption "moves" with the book – because they are grouped.

Edit the Title Box, the text or change the Clip Art and Caption. Do what every your feel like doing.

We’ll come back to the center section of Page 1 after we look at the three panels on Page 2. So, click-on Page 2 at the bottom of the screen.

Notice, in the image of Page 2, (right) that the left and center panels are essentially like the one above. They simply contain Heading Boxes, Text Boxes and Captioned Clip Art. The right panel has a Text Box and Captioned Clip Art. In the lower portion of the right panel you see a Personal Information Box – just like we mastered in the Flyer. So, you already know how to edit all of these "things."

Don't forget - if you make a mistake you can always click-on the blue undo arrow and try again.

 

One more "neat thing" before we leave the Brochure. We've clicked one more time on Page 2 of the brochure. Zoom-out in your Brochure and click-on the Page 2 at the bottom. In the left panel of your brochure you originally had a clock with a text caption below the clock. We made some changes to our brochure to reflect our Art Center Hamburger Sale. At the left there is a picture of a hamburger being guarded by two knights (we changed the clip-art like we've done before. Below the clip art we have also changed the caption as well.

If we click-on the picture and caption we immediately notice that they are a grouped object. So, when we click and drag them they stay together - nothing new - no big deal. However, when we drag the image and caption, no matter where we drag them, the text automatically wraps around them - this is the New Neat Thing

If you've forgotten how to drag the images - Simply click the left mouse button on the image, hold down the left mouse button, and move the mouse around a bit - this is called dragging.

Now, on your own, drag your image around the left panel and notice the wrapping. Now! Drag your image to the middle panel and the same thing happens! Publisher has already wrapped every image in all publications like this - we think this is super - it sure saves a lot of time learning how to "wrap frames" like Publisher has done. Also notice that, as you drag, the image and caption from Page to Page, that if the image "pushes the text" that the text "flows" from panel to panel. We'll get into this a lot more in the Newsletter.

We thought you'd like to try this image dragging in a small brochure where you can "really" see the effects.
