To add text to a document, first click on the “Text” toolbar button on the ribbon. This will open the Text Box toolbar. To add text to your document, simply type your text into the text box, and then press the Enter key. Microsoft Publisher will automatically format your text as you enter it.

To add graphics to a document, first click on the “Graphics” toolbar button on the ribbon. This will open the Graphics Box toolbar.

Once you have added text, graphics, or tables to your document, you can format them further so that they look good onscreen. To format text, press the F5 key to open the Format Text dialog box. In this dialog box, you can change the font, color, alignment, and other formatting properties of your text.

To format graphics in a document, first double-click on the graphic file in order to open it in its own window. Then, use the available formatting tools in the Graphics Box window to customize the appearance of your graphic.

To format tables in a document, first select the table row or column that you want to format, and then press the F4 key. Microsoft Publisher will display a Format Table dialog box with pre-determined formatting options for that row or column.
