The Principal of my children's grade school has asked me to put together a
yearbook/annual for the K-6th grades. Does anyone have experience doing
this using Microsoft Publisher? I've got versions 2000 and 2002 but didn't
find any kind of ready-made templates that I could customize. The booklet
will be 48 pages, printed back-to-back in color and saddlestitched. I
will be doing ALL the layout and then taking the file to a commercial
printer to print out and assemble the booklets.
This past summer, I created a children's theater program (only 24 pages 5.5 x 8.5)that had pictures
of the kids along with their name and character they played under their
picture; it also had advertisements from local businesses. Biographies were
also included in another section of the program. I've made tables in Word
and inserted pictures in the cells and that turned out very nice. When I
tried using tables in Publisher 2000, I wasn't able to get as specific as
to the size of the cells like I could in Word. So what I ended up doing for
the theater program was creating the majority of it in Publisher and then
linking Word files that had the photos, names & characters (set up like a
contact sheet or index print).
Anyway, what would you suggest as the way to go about setting up this
project? There are over 300 kids and faculty to work with. I'm beginning
to wonder why I said 'Yes'.
