About 300 built-in Page Wizards showed how to create new publications quickly. The manual, in tutorial format, concentrated on producing publications and Web pages. Although oriented toward casual use, Publisher has extensive layout and design tools. All objects can be scaled, resized and rotated by direct manipulation or by changing values in the Change Bar. You can set vertical and horizontal rulers, visible guidelines and a dot grid based on adjustable ruler increments.
Objects snap to both guidelines and grid intersections.
Styles in the Text and Graphics Style palettes let you create and modify standardized styles. All similar items in a publication change when the underlying style is modified. Harvard Publisher has several high-end color features. You can also specify custom cyan, magenta, yellow and black mixtures. If the publication will be professionally printed, you can choose Pantone colors and convert spot into process color.
