Once the edition is created, a border will be drawn around all rows/columns which contain the link to the edition. This thickly-outlined rectangle "marks" a Publisher, as illustrated in Figure 8-7. Subsequently, any time that you click on one of these variables on the table, the border will reappear - indicating that it is a publisher.

The icon that will appear on your desktop to represent an edition is shown in Figure 8-7, as well. The icon will sport the name of the Edition that you provided in the Create Publisher... dialog.
