Microsoft Publisher Tutorial – How to Create Menus Using Templates

If you are looking to create menus and have Microsoft Publisher, you can easily do so. You can choose the template for the menu, the color scheme, images, and more. Basically, all you have to do is click a few buttons and type your text. Then you will have a nice looking menu. This tutorial will show you how to create menus from templates using Microsoft Publisher.

You will need to select your Menus option under the Publication Type panel. Once you select the Menus link, you will see the different templates for menus you have to choose from in the middle panel. Browse through the menu templates and click the one you wish to use.

In the far right panel, you will see a preview of the menu template you chose and you will see a few options that can be adjusted in that panel. In this panel, you can go ahead and choose your color scheme if you want. Simply drop the color scheme box down and click the scheme you want to use. You can also choose your font scheme by dropping the box down and select the scheme of your choice. You may have chosen a menu template that gives you the option for the page size. If you did, you will see the page size box in the bottom of the right panel and it will be clickable. You can click this box and choose the size page you want to use. To further edit your menu, click the Create button at the bottom of this panel and your menu will open in a new window.

In the new window the menu opened in, you can edit the text on your menu. Click a text field and the text will be highlighted. You can then press the Delete key on your keyboard and the text will be deleted. Now you can type what you want in that particular text field. You will need to go through each text field and change it to what you want. Just because you chose to use a font scheme, does not mean you can’t change the text. So, if you want to change the text, highlight the text and use your text options at the top of your window to make changes.

Now you can add your logo or organization to the menu. Somewhere on the menu, you will see the organization logo. You can delete this by clicking it with your mouse and pressing delete on your keyboard. Then you can insert your own logo. You will need to click Insert > Picture > From File and locate your logo on your computer. Then insert it. You may have to drag it to the slot you want it. Most of the time when you insert graphics into a template, it will place it in the center of the template, but you can move it where you want it. After you are finished with your menu, you can save it and print it.
