The document describes the steps taken to create a contents page in a publishing program. First, a blue rectangular box was used as a background. Then a picture box was added using the picture tool, and article titles were added in a text box with a colored rectangular background. Page numbers were added in a separate aligned text box. Images were then imported into the picture boxes and scaled as needed. Finally, a contents title and issue information were added in text boxes and formatted.

1. I added a shape and filled the image with
a blue colour as my background for the
contents page, this was my first step. I
did this by using the rectangular box
tool.
Next I added a picture box using the
picture content tool, which is located
at the edge of the screen.

2. I used the rectangular tool once again to
create a background for my article titles. I
then filled this using the colour options are
the right hand side of the screen.
Using the text box tool once again I
added the article titles in once text box
and the page numbers coinciding with
them in a separate text box along side.
I made sure these were in line by the
item tool.

3. I then added the image into the picture
boxes I had earlier created by ‘file’, then
‘import’ and selected the images I
wanted. I then scaled this so the section
of the image I wanted was displayed in
the image box.
The contents title and the issue
information was added by the text tool
and changed the sizing and colouring
using the tools along the right hand side
of the programme.
