The publication design application included in Office, Microsoft Publisher, has a very high number of functions. Because of this, we can't discuss every one of them in a single article. However, a review of the main menus of the application will help you know most of its tools and discover its location. Will you join us?
Before proceeding, you should know that the Publisher menus are located at the top of the window, under the title bar. Each time you click on one of them, the options displayed on the screen change. On the other hand, we warn you that some tools may be hidden if the window size is too small.
The first menu, after File, which is used to store and open files, is Home. It contains the most basic options related to text formatting, styling, and object insertion. You will also see basic commands, such as copy or paste. We can see this menu as a compilation of the most common tools.
