1. Start Publisher.

2. In the Start Up dialog box, select Start From Scratch.

3. Select Full Page. Choose OK.

4. Click the Box drawing tool located on the left toolbar.

5. Click and drag a box on the work area not exceeding 1/8 inch in   size.

7. From the Available Borders list, select Balloons...Hot Air. Choose OK.

8. Using the Zoom feature on the bottom toolbar, click the plus (+) button until the Zoom box reaches 400 percent.

NOTE: The single balloon graphic now displays in place of the small box with the resizing handles occupying portions of the foreground and background.
