Microsoft Office Publisher is a software that can be used as a tool to design brochures, flyers, newsletters and business cards; create word processing documents, marketing tools and websites; and publish websites to the web. Publisher has many templates and wizards that help users through the process of creating documents and tailoring documents to the needs of the user. You will need to create a Text Box in order to type or do any type of word processing in Publisher. The Text Box icon is represented by a small square with a capital A in the upper left-hand corner with text wrapped to the right and at the bottom of the letter. If you copy words from another place and paste it into Publisher, a Text Box will automatically be created for you. All you will need to do is adjust the size of the Text Box.
