Microsoft Publisher Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

we are using Microsoft Publisher for our day-to-day activities in our project like making banners and printing it on very high resolution scale. Our project has multiple requirement for banners and promotions, pamphlets and brochures making. We also have invitation letters and editing of documents related work involved. Publisher is one of the best software being used with a Microsoft Office license in our organisation.

Likelihood to Recommend

we were in a problem in which we have to print a picture on multiple pages and printed in a high definition, quality and later joint it to make a big wording and Publisher played a very crucial and good role in making our plan success. We imported a very high-quality banner and displayed in multiple pages using the print function provided by the Publisher, which helped us to do, our task efficiently.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Microsoft Publisher to create high standard documents and infographics for sharing department- or company-wide. It gives a more professional look than Microsoft Word when the document is more flow or picture based, rather than pure written content.

Likelihood to Recommend

Creating visually appealing content to present or share within the business, or to external stakeholders. We have used this to create event posters, i.e. for our Annual Awards or Christmas Party, or Infographics for Human Resources content. It provides a better platform for creating easy-to-read content. It is less appropriate for highly technical and wordy content.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Microsodt Publisher to create quick signs or flyers. As a construction company, there is always something that we need to create quickly that is specific to one job or client. This program allows me to create and save templates that I can customize to each job, or I can start from scratch and put something together in minutes that looks professional for our client.

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Publisher is well suited for almost any situation. It is something that I'm sure has far more advanced tools than I use or am aware of, but it is also very simple for entry-level users to create professional documents quickly. I have used it for very involved brochures in real estate scenarios and I have also used it for very simple "Construction Zone" signs at a job site under construction. There are so many uses for this program!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it for business cards, flyers, newsletters, and other lightweight desktop publishing projects. Microsoft Publisher is OK for quick and easy desktop publishing projects. It's useful because we have a lot of Microsoft Publisher boilerplate built up over the years so we can just take a previous project and repurpose it. When used that way it's time-efficient and cost-effective. It is not our first choice for new projects that demands detail and real creative energy.

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Publisher is only suited for very simple stuff. Anything brand new that requires nuance and detail is beyond Microsoft Publishers' capabilities. As an example: I would never use it for creating an application user manual, an employee manual, or an infographic. Trying to do any of the above would certainly make you wonder what you were thinking.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently, Publisher is used only in my department. The company prefers Adobe Suite. I, however, prefer Publisher. It provides a much simpler interface that allows me to do all the things that the more expensive and complex Adobe In-Design can do. I use Publisher to produce a quarterly full-color magazine that has ranged from as few as 28 pages to as many as 56. The magazine is full of internal and external hyperlinks. In addition, I have just created a nearly 400 page quarterly planner with somewhere between 1500-2000 internal hyperlinks to various days and sections and pages within sections. I upload the pdf and use it on my Remarkable 2. Couldn't use it there without first designing it in Publisher. If there is some document that has a graphic, I will be working on it in Publisher. For me, Publisher is used for virtually all of my daily writing. If I use Word it is most often to create text that is then pulled into Publisher and laid out for the document I am creating. I could not do my day-to-day job without Publisher.

Likelihood to Recommend

Publisher, for me, is best suited for a document with graphics/photos and text. I cannot use Word for this. Too hard to get the graphic/photo to behave and stay where I put it. In Publisher, I put the graphic/photo on the page and it stays where I put it. The text then flows around it. Seems to me as if Word works in the opposite manner.

Publisher also allows me better control of the overall look of multi-page documents. I design lots of magazine-style docs and I know that whether they are printed or viewed online that I will have everything exactly where I want it to be.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

There is access to Microsoft Publisher for every employee, but it is not used by everyone. I mainly used it to [create] invitations, certificates, or posters advertising events at the college. It was easy to use, had templates that made it easy to create whatever document I was trying to create. And once I had made, for example, one certificate it was easy to just change the information and use it again and again.

Likelihood to Recommend

[Microsoft Publisher is] great for creating documents like invitations or certificates. It comes with templates that help you get started. It’s easier to manipulate your text and images than just using Microsoft word. If you’re looking for something more graphic, you may want something more advanced (like photoshop or indesign) but for the occasional basic need this will do the job.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Microsoft Publisher for multiple purposes:

1) MS PowerPoint cannot do some of the artwork diagramming possible in MS Publisher, so we create the artwork in Publisher and copy it over to PowerPoint.

2) MS Publisher is used to create diagrams to be inserted into proposals created with MS Word

3) MS Publisher is used to create sales literature (flyers, brochures)

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for creating flyers or brochures.

Not well suited for creating a slide show.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Microsoft Publisher was extremely useful as we set up our medical practice. We used it extensively to construct all of our informational sheets for patients.

Likelihood to Recommend

I can only say that it did everything that we needed it to. If we were in another business and had other needs, perhaps we would find a scenario in which it would not work? But we did not need anything complicated, just professional looking educational material for our patients.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Microsoft Publisher for all of my newsletters and reports as well as invitations and ads.

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Publisher is perfect for desktop publishing, simple designs and graphics. The program is not well suited for graphic design work.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Microsoft Publisher to create course flyers. Microsoft Publisher is used on an individual basis across the organization.

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Publisher is suitable for use in creating an event invitation on campus and course flyers to be placed on announcement boards. While it has the capability of publishing web pages, I think there is better software to create web pages.
