HELLO TEACHERS
 
 SAYING HI FROM MEXICO!
It�s been just 5 days since I�ve joined this site, but I feel so proud to be a part of this global community of teachers around the world.
This is actually one of the best sites about teaching that there is, and I think the only one where teachers can exchange their wks, one dedicates to us, I�ve to congratulate Victor for this great idea.
I�ve spent hours admiring all the great works that you all make and upload and I have to say Bravo!!! Clap
I�m slowly becoming an addict to this site and you can see that it�s over midnight here in Mexico and I�m still hook up!! Now my question is How do you make some of the worsheets I�ve seen with colors and images, do you do it in Publisher and then copy and paste on Word?
I would like an answer because I want to improve the quality of my wk and any suggestion would be appreciate it.
thank again and have a great weekend!
See youThumbs Up

I to used to use publisher for everything! BUT it only takes a little time to get to know who to do the same types of things in word (I still love publisher though!!!!)
My advice is to keep trying with word as if you do it in publisher and then copy it to word it could be a picture file which generally is not liked as much because teachers cannot change to to what they want or need for their specific class. Or change little errors that might crop up from time to time. Also sometimes after spending all that time in publisher if you copy and paste some features are not supported by word so you lose it!
Definitely check out the tutorials :-)
The main thing in word that I had to get the hang of was placement of things on a page, so learning how to use text boxes and insert pictures so that the layout is how you want it to  be are the main things to learn :-) Once you get the hang of that the rest is easy :-)
