Making a Logo using Publisher 2010

 


A logo can be added to any document to add color and character. I am using a logo I made for a assignment for one of my classes. After making it, I found out how easy it is to accomplish!!







1. Open Publisher and use a blank page.

2. Go to Clip Art on the insert tab and search for something that goes with the idea you have for logo.

3. Insert that picture into Publisher.
4. Insert WordArt and place the WordArt so it looks good over the picture. Format as needed.


5. Take your mouse and draw a box around the picture and clipart. You will see a dotted box and now both pictures should be selected.

6. Right mouse click on top of the two graphics and click GROUP.

7. This will make both graphics work as one graphic.

8. Right-mouse click on the picture and click SAVE AS PICTURE.

Macros : How to Create


A macro is a saved sequence of commands. It cuts back on typing the same words or phrases repeatedly. I plan on using this tool very often. I most likely will use it to write out my name, address, and phone number on letters.


1. On the 
Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Record New Macro.
2. In the Macro name box, type a name for the macro.
3. In the Store macro in box, click the template or document in which you want to store the macro.
4. In the Description box, type a description for the macro.
If you don't want to assign the macro to a toolbar, a menu, or shortcut keys, click OK to begin recording the macro.
5. To assign the macro to a toolbar or menu, click Toolbars, and then click the Commands tab. In theCommands box, click the macro you are recording, and drag it to the toolbar or menu you want to assign it to. Click Close to begin recording the macro.
6. To assign the macro to shortcut keys, click Keyboard. In the Commands box, click the macro you are recording. In the Press new shortcut key box, type the key sequence, and then click Assign. Click Closeto begin recording the macro.
Perform the actions you want to include in your macro.
7. When you record a macro, you can use the mouse to click commands and options, but not to select text. You must use the keyboard to record these actions. For example, you can use F8 to select text and press END to move the cursor to the end of the line.
8. To stop recording your macro, click Stop Recording Button image.

Emerging Technology- Smart Watches

How would you like to check email or even a social media site just by looking at your wrist? There is a emerging technology product called a smart watch that does just that. An inventor by the name of Eric Migicovsky made a prototype of the watch in his dorm room. The watch syncs information from your smartphone onto the smart watch by bluetooth. Migicovsky's success has prompted other brands to manufacture the watches.

The smart watch was not developed to replace a smart phone. The smart watch is more of a remote control for your phone. The smart watch is used to alert you of incoming messages that can be displayed on the watch's LCD screen or your phone. There is speculation on whether the smart watch will even appeal to consumers.

As with many new inventions there are cons that go along with the pros. Researchers are saying that the size of the smart watch might be a little too large. The short battery life is another con of the watch. Like the netbook, the smart watch's popularity could also be unpredictable. With so many different "wearable" devices emerging, it's only a matter of time before the trend explodes into a money-maker.
