Publisher 2010 Ribbon, Text Box.

This is not a picture of the entire legnth of the ribbon in MS Publisher 2010. I cut it off just after the insert text and insert picture tabs on the far right of the ribbon. To insert text on any page you must first draw a text box by clicking the draw text box tab. This feature works very similar to the cropping feature (cutting off material outside of a graphic, for instance) except in reverse- you will be given a small cursor in the shape of an plus sign, +, and you use it to draw a square on the interior of a blank page rather than cropping exterior matter on the outside of a page or picture. To insert a text box, click on the draw text box tab on the ribbon. Click on the location inside the page you want to draw the text box: for instance, if you wish to begin text at 4.5 inches down on the page, click in the blank page at 4.5 inches. Your cursor will become a plus + shape. Move the cursor across the page in the right direction, then move the cursor in the downward direction. Hit save. Next to the draw text box tab is the insert picture tab for inserting graphics. If you need to make a graphic smaller than the size you have inserted, right click on the graphic and you will see an option to "format picture". This will give you a menu and you choose the "size" tab. If you reduce the graphic by a few inches in width, the computer will automatically proportion the height if you make sure the box is clicked that says lock ratio proportion.
