Desktop Publishing help

Getting started

Desktop Publishing lays out flyers, newsletters, posters, cards and certificates on real pages, in millimetres. Everything stays on this PC.

  2. Pick a tool on the left (Text, Picture, Box, Ellipse, Line, Table or Shapes) and drag on the page.
  3. Double-click a text box to type in it. The bar along the top changes to the text tools.
  4. Change sizes, colours and borders in the panel on the right (Item, Page and Layers).
  5. Save with Ctrl+S (a .m2dp file), then use PDF in the top bar, or Print in the ยทยทยท menu.
