  • 00:05 This lesson is all still about text boxes.
  • 00:08 But inside the text box area is a little set that says Business Information right
  • 00:13 up here at the top with a little drop down arrow of all the information already
  • 00:17 set up inside your business information.
  • 00:20 And right here we have a button that says Edit Business Information.
  • 00:23 And if you've taken this course from the beginning,
  • 00:25 this was a previous homework assignment.
  • 00:27 It was under File and Info has Edit Business Information.
  • 00:32 And I'd ask you go ahead and
  • 00:33 fill this in now while you have time before you get into a deadline situation.
  • 00:38 Of course, I didn't do that so I'll go ahead and fill mine in right now.
  • 00:42 And then let's see, my organization is Go Skills.
  • 00:46 And just for grins, I am going to change this up to Address 1,
  • 00:51 Address 2 because I do want to see a difference when I start using this.
  • 00:57 All right, I'm going to go ahead and hit Save on this.
  • 01:00 I'm not going to have an update to my publication just yet
  • 01:03 because I want to show you how to do that.
  • 01:05 I'll go ahead and hit Close here.
  • 01:07 Go back to my publication.
  • 01:08 I am still using the newsletter soft blue design.
  • 01:10 Because at the very bottom page on page 6, when you click this, there's a little
  • 01:16 section we're already set up, ready for mailing that has your organization.
  • 01:21 Now notice that little letter i floating around.
  • 01:23 That means information, specifically business information.
  • 01:27 Now when I click this little letter i, I can edit my business information,
  • 01:32 which I just did.
  • 01:33 I can change what's on here now and resave it to my business information or
  • 01:37 I can update from my business information.
  • 01:39 I'm going to hit that, click, and there it went.
  • 01:42 It showed my GoSkills business name.
  • 01:45 And now if I click this little letter i, if it would let me click that one.
  • 01:49 I don't know why it's not letting me click that one.
  • 01:51 It's going to make me crazy.
  • 01:53 Anyway, at this point I would be able to change all of these,
  • 01:56 here we go, and update from business information.
  • 01:59 Of course, I hadn’t changed my phone number.
  • 02:01 So it's just a matter of the clicking around on here.
  • 02:04 Now in this case, it’s not allowing me to do anything.
  • 02:06 I don’t know why it won’t let me click out the letter i.
  • 02:08 So I give up, but I’m going to go up here to Business Information and
  • 02:11 I’m going to choose Address, click right there.
  • 02:14 See, I win after all.
  • 02:15 I can just go and get it myself on this business information set.
  • 02:19 All right, well, let's take this a little further.
  • 02:21 In fact, I'm going to insert a new blank page right down here at the very bottom.
  • 02:27 And I'm going to go to my final page, double-click.
  • 02:30 Let's see, here we go.
  • 02:31 And let's just say I want to sell a couch.
  • 02:34 So I'm going to make a for sale flyer for a couch.
  • 02:37 So I'm going to insert a picture this time.
  • 02:40 And just going to go straight here, and I've got a couch picture already saved.
  • 02:44 So I'm inserting my picture.
  • 02:46 I'm going to click and drag.
  • 02:47 Holding my control key will click and drag all four corners at the same time, so
  • 02:51 I'm holding Ctrl and clicking and dragging one of the handles.
  • 02:54 I have a nice big couch.
  • 02:56 Now I'm going to insert a text box and I'm going to type For Sale.
  • 03:02 Of course, I do have to format my own text.
  • 03:05 It won't format it for me.
  • 03:07 But with all my text box tools at the ready, that's easy to do.
  • 03:11 All right, and now what I'd like is phone tear off tabs at
  • 03:14 the bottom with my business information in them.
  • 03:18 You check this out, on the Insert ribbon, on Business Information,
  • 03:22 you're not just stuck with your main information.
  • 03:25 Go ahead and scroll down.
  • 03:26 Take a look at this.
  • 03:27 There's Contact Information.
  • 03:29 I can put Brackets, Convention, Flourish.
  • 03:32 I can have all kinds of things in here, and one of them, Phone Tear-Off.
  • 03:36 Check this out, already formatted for you.
  • 03:39 So I'm going to click on Phone Tear-Off.
  • 03:41 It drops in here.
  • 03:42 The only thing I have to do is click that box and
  • 03:46 get it aligned down here at the bottom.
  • 03:47 Now here's something really cool.
  • 03:49 I'm going to resize this across the screen, and
  • 03:51 you're going to think it's just going to make it wider.
  • 03:54 Now it's actually going to multiply these things.
  • 03:55 Check that out.
  • 03:56 Isn't that great?
  • 03:58 So my name didn't show up.
  • 04:01 There's something wrong on my business information.
  • 04:03 But the beautiful thing is I already have sideways text.
  • 04:06 When I can print this thing off, take my scissors and
  • 04:09 slice each one of these lines so someone at the grocery store can
  • 04:12 easily just rip one of my little tags off from my flyer for my for sale couch.
  • 04:17 So that is found under Business Information, just scroll down so
  • 04:22 you can see all the options available.
  • 04:24 It's interesting when you get in there and start exploring.
  • 04:26 There are so many great things already designed for you.
