Microsoft Office Publisher is a software that can be used as a tool to design brochures, flyers, newsletters and business cards. You can also use Publisher to create word processing documents, marketing tools and websites as well as publish to the web. Publisher has many templates and wizards that help users through the process of creating documents and tailoring documents to the needs of the user. You can insert a picture frame when you have a picture that you want to put inside the picture frame that is located in a file on your computer or that you have copied from another spot. Once you have created your picture frame, you will be able to get a picture from a file on your computer, from your scanner, from your camera or from a clip art file.
