About personal information sets
A personal information set contains information about you, your business, or your organization. You can save this information to use whenever you create a publication, so that you don’t have to enter it each time.
Microsoft Publisher provides four personal information sets:
- Primary Business
- Secondary Business
- Other Organization
- Home/Family
Every new publication has the Primary Business personal information set selected by default. However, you can apply another personal information set to the publication.
Each personal information set contains eight components:
- My name
- Job or position title
- Organization name
- Address
- Phone, fax, and e-mail
- Tag line or motto
- Color scheme
- Logo
When you install Publisher, the personal information components contain default information. You can change the information in a component.
You can place a component in a publication as many times as you want, but each component can contain only one type of information. For example, you can insert your Organization Name on the front and back of a postcard, but you cannot include both your Organization Name and Address in the same component. Each must go in its own personal information component.
If you change the information in a personal information component, all components of that type will be updated in the current publication. For example, if you edit the text in a Personal Name component, all Personal Name components in the publication will change.
