Quick reference

• 00:04 We're gonna stay on the text box topics,
• 00:06 so that means we're gonna stay on our insert ribbon.
• 00:09 We'll be working on a blank publication this time.
• 00:12 I'm gonna draw your attention up here to the text group, where we find
• 00:16 the Draw Text Box and the WordArt, which we've already had a previous lesson on.
• 00:20 The Business Information group, when I hit that drop down arrow,
• 00:24 here is where you have already entered your name and your position and
• 00:28 your company name and your other vital information.
• 00:31 At the bottom of this list, it says Edit Business Information.
• 00:34 Well, if you've taken this course from the beginning,
• 00:37 you already met business information.
• 00:38 Let me take you right over here to the file ribbon.
• 00:41 When I click the file ribbon, right here we have Edit Business Information,
• 00:45 and here's all of the pre-entered data.
• 00:48 Now, the reason we use business information, so
• 00:51 if you have multiple people working with you, or for you, you don't want
• 00:55 anyone's one version of your address, or your phone number, or your name or title.
• 01:00 We want them to all use identical information, so there are no typos.
• 01:04 And that's where business information comes in.
• 01:07 Now you can edit it here, or I can hit my back button.
• 01:10 Go to Insert, go to Business Information, and I can edit it here.
• 01:14 Two places do the same thing.
• 01:16 Let's go ahead and put a couple in here.
• 01:17 I'll go ahead and put in my name, and click off of that, and now I'll go in and
• 01:22 put in my company name.
• 01:23 And it landed on the same spot, notice dead center on my screen,
• 01:26 not necessarily dead center on the publication.
• 01:29 So it's up to me to click and drag and move them to where I want them to go.
• 01:34 Now notice they did drop in the right information, but
• 01:36 they didn't pre-format it.
• 01:38 That is up to you to do.
• 01:39 If you wanna pre-format your information,
• 01:42 you've got to then use your formatting tools.
• 01:45 All right, so what we're gonna do here is I'm gonna get rid of these two items, and
• 01:49 we're gonna go ahead and advertise a couch for sale.
• 01:52 So I'm going to Insert Picture, and I already have a couch picture at the ready.
• 01:57 And I'm gonna click and move that into the center of my screen.
• 02:01 Now I'm gonna click and drag to make this larger.
• 02:02 Notice when I click and drag from this corner, only the right and
• 02:05 the bottom sides are coming out.
• 02:07 Watch what happens when I press and hold my control key on my keyboard.
• 02:10 Control, now click and drag, all four sides move out at the same time.
• 02:14 That's just a little tip for you in case you wanna save yourself some work.
• 02:18 All right, so I've got a picture of a couch.
• 02:20 Now I'm going to go to my Insert ribbon,
• 02:22 I'm going to just draw a basic text box right here and I'm gonna type for sale.
• 02:28 Notice I have to then format the text myself and then
• 02:33 center the text on my alignment button, center it and all this wonderful stuff.
• 02:37 What I wanna do though is I wanna make a for sale flyer, so
• 02:40 I can hang it up at the grocery store and have little tear off tabs at the bottom.
• 02:44 Well, here comes the business information.
• 02:46 I'll go ahead and click on my Insert ribbon.
• 02:49 Over here on my Business Information, here's a list of all my vital information,
• 02:53 but if you scroll the scroll bar down to the bottom, look at here.
• 02:57 We have a phone tear-off.
• 02:59 When I click that,
• 03:00 it inserts a text box with little pre-formatted tabs of my name and
• 03:04 phone number, so people could just tear them off and call me when they have time.
• 03:08 Now, there's not enough there, so I'm gonna click this resize handle, and
• 03:12 I'm gonna drag it to the right.
• 03:13 Now, it looks like they're just getting wider, but they're not.
• 03:16 When I let go, you can see they've multiplied, very nice feature.
• 03:21 I didn't do any work at all here.
• 03:23 Now after I print these, let me scroll up so you can see them.
• 03:27 After I print these off, I'm gonna take my scissors and I'm gonna cut on these lines,
• 03:30 so all these little flaps are easily tearable and
• 03:33 people can just walk away with them.
• 03:34 And you can see my flyer off to the left.
• 03:36 Isn't that an awesome feature?
• 03:38 So Business Information is more than just your vital info, it's actually
• 03:43 got great little pre-formatted text boxes, all pretty and ready for you to use.
• 03:49 Okay, I hope that helps you, and I hope that you use it a lot.
• 03:52 It's a great feature.
• 03:53 Thank you.
