To Design Your Tickets in Publisher:

1. If the Catalog is open, click Exit Catalog.

2. On the File menu, click Page Setup.

3. Click Labels, and then choose a label with the dimensions you want for your ticket (e.g., Avery 5163 works well)

4. To explore your design options, in the Quick Publication Wizard pane, click Design, Color Scheme, or Layout.

5. Replace placeholder information with your text and graphics.

6. On the Objects toolbar, click the Text Frame Tool, position the mouse pointer where you want the text frame to appear, and drag the mouse diagonally until the frame is the size you want.

7. Type a sample ticket number in the new text frame, and then adjust the formatting and position of the number.
The sample should have the same number of digits as the largest ticket number in your Excel spreadsheet.

8. On the File menu, click Save.
