In Publisher, pictures can be inserted from two sources:
• Pictures stored on your computer.
• Bing image search, for pictures on the internet.
A thumbnail is a graphic image in reduced size which helps in organizing pictures and to save space.
To set a picture as the background:
• Right-click the picture and point to Apply to Background.
• Select Fill from the submenu that appears.
• The picture will appear as the background on the page.
Building Blocks are another set of objects in publisher that contain a combination of text, shapes and images.There are four types of building blocks:
• Page parts
• Borders & Accents
• Calendars
• Advertisements
Scratch area is the grey area that appears around the Publication page where we can place objects. It can be used as temporary holding area.
