Although the article if very good, I did notice that the paragraph explaining bleeds is incorrect. A .125 bleed on a 4x6 piece would not have an over all dimension of 4.125" x 6.125. That would be a .062" bleed. The correct bleed size would be 4.25" x 6.25", thus ending up with a .125 bleed on all four sides.
I appreciate the attempt to help those wallowing in the dregs of an application that is Microsoft Publisher, though I want to point out an error in the section addressing bleed.
"Let's say the printer requires a .125" (1/8"") bleed. If you're working on a 4" x 6"
postcard, your custom page size should be 4.125" x 6.125"."
Actually, with a bleed of 0.125", your publication dimensions would be 4.25" x 6.25". In the case of most full-bleed postcards, the bleed would affect all four edges, thus multiplying the bleed amount by two.

Technically commercial printing is to do with the printing printing becomes neccessary a huge draw back on niggas niggas who complete print outs expand to a higher function by recieving huge amounts of printing
Incorrect about the bleed size

Publishing is not only Adobe and Quark
Good to see, that you also try to help office and home publisher to do more pro-like work.
Microsoft Publisher
MS Publisher 2007 (and any other 2007 Office application) can write pdfs using "Save As" as long as you get the (free) download from Microsoft.
