From Jacci Howard Bear, your Guide to Desktop Publishing
Do you have a lot going on this month? Are you getting ready for the holidays, buying gifts, planning parties? Are you wrapping up 2011 business in preparation for 2012? Whatever you have going on, don't get so busy that you forget to pay attention to the rules and best practices of desktop publishing when you're picking out or making your own greeting cards, writing holiday newsletters, or designing homemade gifts such as family calendars or t-shirt transfers.

Avoid Busy Pages
Do you get overwhelmed by long to-do lists, crowded stores, or too many demands on your time? Just as we can be too busy, so can your page layout. Get less busy by cutting the clutter. Find out how.
