Publishing with Microsoft Word

Why purchase and learn desktop publishing software when the program you already use on a regular basis (Word 2003) has many of the capabilities of other more expensive products? Learn to prevent underlines from moving when you fill in an on-line form. Design flyers and brochures that fit into a pocket or purse. Design newsletters with a creative flair.

Intended Audience:
Students who use Word 2003 or earlier version for desktop publishing.
