A drop cap is a great way to do that.  For those that don’t know what a Drop Cap is… it is one of those big letters you see at the start of a paragraph.

In Publisher 2007 it is easy to add a drop cap.

1) Click on the paragraph of text you want to add the drop cap to

2) Click on the “Format” menu

3) Click on “Drop Cap”

4) Select the drop cap style you want to use.  If you want to make something really special, click on “Custom Drop Cap” and select the letter position, size, font and colour

5) Click “OK”

Too easy!

‘till next time!

Well did you know you can have the same codes appear in your Publisher 2007 document as well?

It is really easy to turn on and off:

1) Look for the “backwards P” icon in the menu, and click that!

or you can just…

2) Press “CTRL + SHFT + Y”

Now you have even more control over your Publisher 2007 design!

Here is how you do it!

1) Open Publisher 2007

2) On the “Getting Started with Microsoft Office Publisher 2007″ page, look on the left hand side.  You will see a column with the heading “Publication Types” at the top.  Look down the list and about 6 down you will see “Business Cards”.  Click on it

3) In the main part of the window you will now see a variety of designs for your business card.  There are newer, more contemporary designs at the top, and more classical designs down the bottom.  Take a good look at each, and pick your favourite.

4) In the right hand column, there are a number of options for your business card.  You can customise it with a different colour scheme, and a different font scheme.

5) Still in the right hand column, look for the “Business information” drop down box.  If this is the first time you have created a business card, your only option will be “Create new…”.  Select “Create new…” and a box will appear for you to enter your business card information.  Once you are happy with all your details, click save.

6) If you are happy with all your decisions, click the “Create” button in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

7) Once your card is created… check all the details, and then hit print!

Now you have a business card you can be proud of!

’till next time!

First step is to visit the 2007 Microsoft Office System Plan and Deploy with Confidence site.  This site includes Webcasts (from level 100 through to 400), Virtual Labs, and Podcasts to help you get you complete your deployment successfully.

Secondly, check out some of the articles on deployment from media outlets such as Computerworld.  These start to give you a real world perspective on the types of issues you might face during your deployment.

Thirdly, if you are ready to go now, check out articles from experts in the community, just like Aaron Parker’s post on Deploying Office 2007 with Group Policy Startup Scripts.

Finally, once your deployment is complete, make sure you let everyone in your organisation know about Thenewpaperclip.com – so they can get up to speed quickly with the new features of Office 2007!  Remember… the key to a successful deployment is not the deployment itself, but the training and adoption that takes place afterwards.
