Microsoft Publisher 2007

Toggle Getting Started Screen

SUMMARY: Toggle whether or not a "Getting Started with Microsoft Office Publisher 2007" screen should appear upon startup.

By default, when running Microsoft Publisher 2007 a "Getting Started with Microsoft Office Publisher 2007" screen appears. From this wizard you can select from a gallery of publication types including award certificates, greeting cards, and resumes; create blank pages in various sizes; open recent publications; and access your templates.

While many people appreciate the immediate access to publication types, more advanced users would rather start with a blank slate and design their own publication type. Thus, this screen can be disabled or enabled as desired.
