The Pack and Go Wizard
Hello everybody, and welcome to another installment of elite’s Tech Tips.When reviewing the past year’s blog posts, there seems to be a lack of Microsoft Publisher hints and tips.So, without further ado, here is a huge hint for Microsoft Publisher that will save you a lot of grief when you need to send your publication to a printer or to another computer.
The “Pack and Go” Wizard
When you create a Publication in Publisher, you may find you want to take the publication to another computer for more processing and/or for printing. Be careful, though, because not all computers have the same font packages and art galleries that you used.If it doesn’t, your publication may look much different than your original concept by the time it hits the printer.
In order to prevent this, you can use the “Pack and Go” wizard to pack your files and include both the fonts and the graphics you used with your files. This will allow you to be sure your publication will look the same as it did on your computer where it was created. To use the Pack and Go wizard, select the File menu, then choose Pack and Go, and then select Take to Another Computer. F
ollow the Pack and Go Wizard each step to go through the packing process.
It will first ask you to save your file before completing the Pack and Go wizard.Click Ok to do so.Then click Next.Now, choose what destination you want to save your finished product to by choosing one of your options.To save it on to 
your desktop, click Browse and choose the folder from there.From this window you can either choose Finish to export all of your files or Next to choose more specifically what from your publication you want to save.For most cases, clicking Finish should be fine.Your computer has now made a compressed (.zip) folder containing all of the necessary files to make your publication free to be viewed on any computer.
That’s all for now!Until next week,
