Create a Banner in Microsoft Publisher 98

Here's How:

1. If the Catalog isn't already open, choose File | New from the menu bar in Microsoft Publisher 98.
2. From the Publications by Wizard tab, choose Banner
3. From the list of banner styles, choose a banner type. When you select a banner type, the matching sample is selected in the right pane of the catalog. There may be multiple choices so select the sample that best matches your needs.
4. Choose the Start Wizard button in Microsoft Publisher 98.
5. Choose Next in the Wizard introduction pane then specify a length for your banner. If you want a length not listed, choose Custom to specify another length.
6. Choose Next again then specify a height for your banner.
7. Choose Next again then specify where you want graphics to appear on your banner -- to the left, the right, both sides, or no graphic at all.
8. Choose Next one last time and specify whether or not you want a border on your banner.
9. Choose Finish to close the Banner Wizard.
10. You could stop now or continue to customize your banner further. You can change the graphics, text, or border by selecting those portions of your banner and the appropriate menu options.
11. To print, choose File | Print from the menu bar in Microsoft Publisher 98.
12. Choose the Tile Printing Options button. In the Options window specify how much you want the pages to overlap (for assembling the pages into your finished banner).
13. The sample box shows how many pieces of paper are required to print your banner. You can adjust the overlap to prevent wasting too much paper or go back and change the height and width.
14. When satisfied, choose OK to close the options dialog then print your banner.
15. Get out the tape, glue, or staples and assemble your printed banner.

Tips:

1. Use the Custom button in the Banner Width pane of the wizard to adjust both width and height.
2. If the banner is to be signed by people be sure to design it with plenty of white space for signatures and notes.
