Fried Frames |
| When a text or a table frame is selected, pressing the Delete key
only deletes the character before the insertion point. To delete the entire
frame, select the frame with the pointer and press Ctrl+Delete. (In Publisher
2000 it is Ctrl+Shift+X)
|
Repeating Tools |
| To repeatedly use the same tool, you must normally select the
tool each time. To keep the tool selection active, hold down the Ctrl key while
selecting the tool. When finished with the tool, select the Pointer or any
other tool in the toolbox.
|
Easy Zoom |
| The easiest way to zoom in on a frame you've just drawn is to
right-click outside the frame. A pop-up menu will appear that includes the
three most popular zoom selections. Choose the Zoom to Selection option. In
Publisher 200 select the 'Selected Objects' option.
|
Create an Instant Text Frame |
| If you only want to create a text document in Publisher and have
just opened a new page, don't bother with the Text tool. Just press the
spacebar. Publisher will create the text frame for you, encompassing the entire
page. This won't work if there are any other objects on the page.
|
Rapid Rotation |
| Publisher provides the normal menu options to rotate a frame in a
publication, but an easier method using the mouse and keyboard is also
available. Select the frame you want to rotate, press the Alt key and move the
pointer over any of the frame-sizing handles. Now click and drag to rotate the
image in any direction.
|
Paste with a Mouse |
| Whenever you need multiple copies of an object, the usual method
is Edit/Copy, Edit/Paste, move the object, Edit/Paste, move the object ….
An easier way is hold down th e Ctrl key, drag the object to where you want it,
and release the mouse button. Instead of moving the original object a new copy
will be created.
