Microsoft Publisher offers many templates that allow you to make brochures, calendars, business cards, labels, flyers and other documents. Publisher does not have a template for bookmarks, but you can make one from scratch without a template. To make a durable bookmark, you can buy heavy duty paper or card stock to place in your printer instead of regular printer paper.

Double-click the Microsoft Publisher shortcut icon on your desktop. Alternately, click the Windows "Start" button, select "All Programs" and click on "Microsoft Publisher."

Click "Blank Page Sizes" in the "Popular Publication Types" list, then click the "Create custom page size" option.

Type a name for your custom bookmarks in the "Name" section. Click the scroll bars In the "Page" section to reduce the number in the "Width" box to 2 inches and the "Height" box to 7.5 inches. Click "OK" to close the "Custom Page Size" box.

Click "File" and then "Print." Click "Multiple Copies per Sheet" in the "Printing Options" section if you want to print multiple copies of the bookmark on the same page.

Click "Print." Re-insert the paper into your paper tray if you created and want to print the design for the back of the bookmark.

Click the "Zoom in" and "Zoom out" icons in the toolbar near the top of Publisher to make the view for your bookmark larger while designing it.
