Through a series of three illustrated tutorials explore why, when, and how to prepare your publication for printing and create the needed PostScript files in Publisher 98. (Later versions have more robust commercial printing options that differ from these steps.) These step-by-step tutorials are a brief overview with some screen shots to familiarize you with the process. Choose your tutorial based on whether your document is black and white only, full color, or contains spot colors.
Not all Help files are created equal. Some do only an adequate job of walking the user through basic functions. Not so with Microsoft Publisher 98's HELPful files. Instructions for the "Prepare File for Printing Service" and "Creating PostScript Files" do a splendid job of not only explaining how to use that feature, but also go into great detail about when and why to do so. While the tutorials cover the basics, the Help files for creating files for commercial printing are excellent and a 'must read' if you plan on creating PostScript files with Publisher.
