- When it comes time to adding text to your publications…here in Publisher 2016, it's as simple as clicking…inside a placeholder and typing away.…But, what if you already have the content elsewhere?…Could be in a file, maybe the entire file could be used.…In that case, you'll want to insert the file…instead of copying and pasting…from the file to the publication.…So, let's take a look at how that's done…with our LH news publication.…We're on page one, and we're going to click…right in the paragraph text under the heading…"See and Be Seen in the West End".…
Just give it a click.…Next, with the "View" tab selected on the ribbon,…click "Selected Objects", so we're zoomed in,…and as you can see, this is placeholder content.…We click once and the entire thing is selected.…At the very top of these placeholders you'll see…the story can fit, in this case, 175 to 225 words.…So you'll want to keep that in mind when inserting a file.…I happen to have a file that's going to work nicely here,…and if you have the exercise files, we're going to use it.…
